How long can eggs be safely stored and at what temperature?
Here's the breakdown of safe egg storage:
Refrigerator:
* Time: Up to 3-5 weeks
* Temperature: 40°F (4°C) or below
Important Considerations:
* Unwashed Eggs: Eggs straight from the chicken can be stored at room temperature for a few weeks. However, once the protective bloom is washed off, they need refrigeration.
* "Best By" Dates: These are estimates. Use your senses! If the egg smells bad, has a broken shell, or the yolk is runny, discard it.
* Freezing: Eggs can be frozen, but you need to break the yolk and whisk it with a little salt or sugar to prevent separating. You can freeze for up to a year.
Key Takeaway: Refrigeration is the safest way to store eggs for extended periods.
