Eggs still safe to eat?

What is OcUK's consensus on keeping eggs in the fridge?
I heard that the chill breaks down the white over time and that eggs should be stored at room temperature.

Why do people keep eggs in the fridge? :confused:

They're fine. If you put them in and they stand on their end (but are still sunken) then you should eat them soon as they're due for going off (it's a built-up of gas which causes them to float and go off).

I've always used the water test even with fresh eggs. Never failed me yet

Probably the egg holder that most fridges come with..

Stop egging him on to eat potentially unsafe food guys. However they say you cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs

Ahahahaha, you've just left me in tears sir, someone give this man a Cookie.

It'll be fine. It'll be rubbish for poaching but as long as it doesn't smell bad then it'll be fine. Even gone off egg is unlikely to make you unwell other than feeling sick because it tastes bad.

Yes, I suspended him. He gave me abuse because he couldn't agree with me that cooking an egg, was cooking... :confused:

Best Before means just that. They are at their best before that date but perfectly safe after that date as long as you do the water test.

I ate 2 cream cakes 2 days past their Use By date this week and they were very nice. It is Use By stuff that you are not meant to eat after the Use By date.

Sell By means **** all. It's just for shops.
