How long can a fresh egg be out before putting it into refrigerator?

While there's no hard and fast rule, leaving eggs out at room temperature for more than two hours is generally considered unsafe, especially in warm climates.

Here's why:

* Bacteria growth: Bacteria can grow rapidly at room temperature, especially in the summer. This can make the egg unsafe to eat.

* Quality degradation: Leaving eggs out can cause the yolk to become runny and the white to become watery.

If you're unsure about an egg's safety, it's always best to err on the side of caution and throw it away.
