Is it OK for eggs to get wet?

Eggs are dry. If shell gets wet, bacteria can pass through the shell. Wash hands with soap and warm water before and after cleaning eggs.

Can I eat unwashed eggs?

If eggs are left unwashed with the bloom intact, you can place them on your kitchen counter. Unwashed, room temperature eggs should keep for about two weeks. If you aren't planning to eat your eggs for a while, we recommend refrigerating them.

Do free range eggs need to be refrigerated?

Because the origins of purchased eggs cannot be certain (even when organic or farm fresh), they should always be refrigerated. If you choose to refrigerate, those eggs are committed. Once chilled, an egg returned to room temperature may sweat, opening pores and exposing the egg to potential bacteria.

How can you tell if fresh eggs are still good?

Fill a bowl or glass with about four inches of cold water and gently place your egg(s) inside. Very fresh eggs will sink to the bottom and lay on their sides. If an egg stays at the bottom but stands on its small end, it's still fine to eat; just not quite as fresh.

Can you eat boiled eggs that float?

If the egg sinks or stays at the bottom, it is still fresh. An older egg will either stand on its end or float. The float test works because air builds up inside the egg as it ages, and this increases its buoyancy. However, an egg that floats may still be safe to eat.
