What happens to an egg when you put it in molasses?

* Nothing much, at least initially. Molasses is a thick syrup and doesn't have the properties to significantly affect the egg's structure or contents.

* Potential for sugar absorption: Over a long period, the molasses might draw some moisture out of the egg due to osmosis, as the concentration of sugar in the molasses is higher than inside the egg.

* Potential for bacterial growth: While molasses itself isn't a particularly good breeding ground for bacteria, the moist environment and potential for sugar absorption could create a favorable environment if the molasses isn't sterile.

It's not recommended to put eggs in molasses. You won't achieve any particular culinary effect, and it's unnecessary for any purpose. Eggs are best stored in their original carton, in a cool, dry place.
