There should be a special tray installed in the refrigerator door. It is designed for storing eggs.

This is very convenient: the product is well secured, it will definitely not roll away or break.

However, how long will the freshness of eggs last? Oddly enough, this depends on the location of the product in the cells.

Some housewives place the eggs with the pointed end down, others - up, and still others - just "anyhow". Who is right?

The correct way to store eggs

When placing the product in the tray, make sure that the sharp ends are at the bottom.

If this condition is met, the eggs will be stored for quite a long time. And this is explained by the location of the yolk in the center.

In addition, the blunt end of the product that is "looking" upwards is the part where many pores are located. As a result, it is possible to ensure a full supply of oxygen.

But if you place the egg with the sharp end up, the air "bag" located at the other end will end up at the bottom. The result may be dangerous microorganisms getting into the protein.
