Test if Eggs Are Fresh

Face it, you are curious! Is that egg really fresh? It's good to think about what you're eating. Follow this easy test to see if your eggs are fresh.

Steps

 * 1)  Place the egg in a bowl full of water.
 * 2)  See if it floats. If the egg stays on the bottom, then its good. If it floats, then that means its bad.
 * 3)  Also, if you crack the egg into a frying pan, the white will remain quite thick and close to the yolk if it is fresh. If the white is watery and spreads all over the pan, the egg is bad.

Warnings

 * Eggs that are clearly not fresh or bad eggs may be harmful to your health.
 * Don't get paranoid. It's ok to eat a bad egg every once in a while.
