How to recognize rotten eggs: it's better to do it in the store
Sometimes it becomes clear that chicken eggs are not fresh only after you try to cook something with them.
This is not the worst option. If you eat them, you can easily end up in the hospital, even if the product has been properly cooked.
Let's figure out whether it is possible to identify a spoiled product at the time of purchase.
Usually, rotten eggs emit a terrible stench - the smell of hydrogen sulfide, you can only confuse and not notice it after covid. But this is at home. In the store, you need to act like this.
Inspect the eggs from above and from the sides, and if you notice cracks or broken shells, look for another option. No discount will cost your health.
If you shake an egg in your hand, there should be no sound inside. But if it is not fresh, there will be a squelching sound from inside.
When you get home, do a simple test with an egg and a bowl of water.
Fill a saucepan or bowl with cold water, drop the egg into it and watch what happens next.
A fresh egg will sink to the bottom and lie on its side.
An egg that has been lying for several weeks will sink to the bottom but turn sharp end down (it can be eaten, but only after heat treatment).
If the egg freezes somewhere in the middle or does not sink at all, then it will be cheaper to throw it away.
