Are My Eggs Too Old?

If you’re the type that gets rid of egg cartons for space in your fridge, then you’ve likely run into the problem with having a few eggs left over and not knowing when they expired. There’s an easy test to find out.

Simply put the egg in a bowl of water deeper than the egg. If it sinks, the egg is still good to eat. If it floats, throw it away. Eggs develop gas as they age and go bad. That gas inside the egg shell makes it buoyant. Bad eggs float while good eggs sink to the bottom. If your egg sits in the middle of the water, it’s borderline.
