Would you still eat these eggs?

If their use by date was 07 jan? Really want to make some french toast and I have two left

Do the egg test ☺️ x

Test them ?
Jug of water , floaters bin , sinkers eat .

Put them in a jug of water - if they float they're no good.

Crack them. You will soon know if they are off - very unlikely

You'll know

Yes. If they've gone bad you'll know the minute you crack them open.

Eggs last for weeks.

This. But I probably wouldn't even bother for a few days past the date like that.

Of course. Mine com from my chickens so no dates. If they pass the test I eat them.

7th Jan? Absolutely. They will be fine.

*come

It’s really obvious if eggs are off.

God I'm still eating eggs from December. Eggs really last in the vast majority of cases, four days over I would not bat an eyelid.

The 7th Jan?
I’d definitely eat them. I’ve eaten eggs way beyond their date.
Enjoy your French toast!

I always do the float test.

If course! I've never checked the date in eggs and never ever cracked a bad one! They last for ages.

This is a non-issue. We had some eggs that were a year out of date, which I cracked onto the dogs' food every morning until they were finished. The only ones that didn't smell fresh were the ones with damaged shells. Regardless, the dogs gobbled them up and did not get sick. I conclude that the undamaged year-old eggs were in fact fine.

Completely agree with PP.

What I'm unsure about is how long I can keep raw egg (covered, in the fridge) when only partially used for egg wash etc. Any ideas?

I'd say at least 2/3 days Palavah. No idea how long it would take to go off, but I'd just put leftover egg in an omelette, which I have several times a week anyway so it would get used almost straight away here.

Beaten egg can also be frozen, so if you need egg wash every so often, just freeze the leftover in a small container.

Looks like they're still good to eat then
