How to Tell if an egg is fresh




By putting them into a water-filled container or glass, it is possible to determine if the eggs are fresh or otherwise: 

Very fresh: A very fresh egg will sink to the bottom and lay on its side.

Week old: One week old eggs will rest on the bottom but the fat end will rise up slightly.

3 week old: Three week old eggs will be balanced on pointy end with the fat end sticking up.

Bad Eggs: Old eggs will be floating bobbing along the surface of the water. These floaters should be tossed as they aren't any good to eat.


Hope that helps.
