I got two litttle moveable trays that hold 6 eggs each, I pop my eggs into the trays because it takes up less space, easy to grabem, and also I can move them around if need to adjust things to make space

Just in those paper cartons in the cellar.

More space in the fridge

Do Americans really?

i hide them loose around my fridge so its always like easter

>>19493228
its because the way theyre processed here makes them more disposed to spoilage or something like that

>>19493236
they're cleaned which reduces their shelf live by like 50% of sommat. if you leave them covered in fæces they last longer or whatever.

if you refrigerate eggs like most do it makes literally no difference either way. also I've noticed that in Stralia the eggs used to be just on a shelf near the bread or whatever, but for the last maybe 5 years they're kept refrigerated. I don't know if this is because they're washing them now or not. Half the eggos I buy have small spots of poop and feathers stuck to them so idunno what's going on

I'm Danish and all eggs from the store are refrigerated here. They keep for ages that way so unless you collect and eat them fresh from your own hens daily there's no reason you shouldn't put them in there.

I like to always have a few crammed up for unexpected situations and ease.

unrefrigerated eggs will keep for 2 to 3 months or even more. the water buoyancy test is fool proof.

mmmmmmmnot sure it's acttually that perfect anon

>>19493357
thats not a reason not to refrigerate them and turn that two months into four

That's cool and stuff but the question is if the boxes are any better than the cartons at storing the eggs

>>19493101
Fry them quick

Just use cartons unless you somehow have an issue with humidity or rodents in your fridge. I mean why bother with anything else?

stop buying contqiners for shit that comes with free containers

> there's no reason you shouldn't put them in there.
some recipes specify room temperature eggs. Most of the time it's probably just a meme, and doesn't matter, but I think I've encountered a recipe where temperature supposedly mattered.
I still keep them in the fridge though, I live in Norway and they're sold and stored cold here as well.

it pretty much is. if it floats it's fucked. if it sinks it's great. if there's a touch of buoyancy and it wants to sit up right then it's almost certainly still fine but you can smell test but is beginning to be on the turn within a week or maybe two+. if it sits half way it's also fucked. but if it floats even half an inch again it's probably still completely fine.
>>19493457
fair comment but who the hell has a carton of eggs sat in the fridge for 6 months. you may as well not buy them if you're not even eating them!

>>19493614
poached eggs turn out better room temp and also it greatly increases the chance of an egg cracking/popping when hard/soft boiling if they're cold.

>>19493624
I think if it sink like a rock or floats like a buoy then yes, you can interpret that. But for most of the life of an egg in someone's home it's likely to be somewhere between, where it leans upright or sort of floats but with one heavy side, or it sits on the bottom with its ass trying to lift up slightly, and that's the grey area where nobody knows wtf is going on or really how safe it is

If the alternate storage solution is SUPERIOR, there are zero arguments for using an inferior solution, even if free.

>>19493481
Airtight containers are superior to shitty bags

>>19493850
there comes a point where cost outweighs benefit anon, slightly fresher lucky charms isnt really worth the hassle when you can just leave it as is

>>19493242
it's because you may as well refrigerate them anyway to get longer shelf life
eggs aren't washed in Australia generally though and they'll be fine at room temp

>>19493101
I barely eat eggs. I bought 6 a month or two ago and used 2. Should I throw them away?

>>19493944
Just toss the bag in the box then also containers aren't really that expensive considering you an use them for years

>>19493151
>6 eggs each
thats breakfast and lunch/dinner
can you fucking grow up pls?
