If you want to test an egg to see if it is still consumable, submerge the egg in a bowl of cold water:
- If the egg lays on it’s side it’s safe to eat.
- If it stands upright it is starting to age but can still be used for baking.
- If it floats, you should throw it away.
Here is a video on You Tube that demonstrates it.

Awesome to know!! I haven’t ever been able to chance it. If I think they might be to expired to eat they just get tossed.
Thank you!!
