This cracking eggs into cups to avoid the bad ones technique. How does it work for soft-boiled eggs?

ArrestHer · 10/02/2024 18:16

You can just plink your eggs in water to test for freshness if you’re worried.

WTF have I just read

I think I may start doing egg cracking into a cup now, even though I can't remember the last time I had a bad one.

HoneyButterPopcorn · 10/02/2024 18:37

Me neither but sometimes you see a yolk this looks a little puckered and that’s not good!

ArabellaScott · 10/02/2024 19:43

A puckered yolk can really give a girl the pip.

Fanny Craddock said “I would no more keep an egg in a refrigerator than a baby.”

I trust Fanny.

Could be read two ways though - either someone who's fussy about how her eggs are kept, or a potential serial killer who shouldn't be allowed near small children....

ApocalipstickNow · 11/02/2024 01:00

Fair point.

Wonder if she ever wrote a guide to child care 🤔😆

In my childhood we had quite a few fertilized eggs. We had a farm and had our own chooks. It was my job to find the nests and collect the eggs you see. I was very young and afraid that a snake would get me. And those bloody hens would nest all around. So sometimes the eggs were not new ones….🥹 I was an inconsistent egg gatherer.

I was pleased when mum started to buy eggs… and chicken from the grocery shop. Our chooks were scrawny and were not tasty. And I had to hold them while dad chopped off their heads. Then I had to pluck them.

I have much better experiences with eggs and chicken for dinner now that I am not on that farm! And since then, no fertilised eggs. Eggs kept in fridge at my place for past 40 plus years and no bad ones. And I don’t break them into a cup first unless I have to give them a beating before adding.

Helleofabore · 11/02/2024 07:46

I have put a baby in the fridge though. It was a walk in fridge and it was 40 degree out. I was there too.

I walked into my lab cold room one warm (for Scotland) day and found three of the guys from facilities in there because it was " rrroastin" outside supposedly. They have my permission now to go there whenever they need to cool down.

40 years is a good innings for an egg, Helle

ArabellaScott · 11/02/2024 08:31

The solution to not having fertilised eggs is to not have any roosters and to collect your eggs promptly before they can turn into roosters!

Roosters are an utter PITA. Make a load of unnecessary noise, and fight all the time.

ArrestHer · 11/02/2024 09:11

Someone has released a rooster local to us (happens a lot when people decide to hatch chicks but don’t want to keep the boys). I always pray they don’t make it down the road to my girls 🤣

I'm more concerned with getting shell in my egg, so it doesn't apply to boiled eggs. I am happy to just boil eggs if they are in date.

Absolutely!! That would be old… coming up to half a century.

But if you don’t have roosters, how would you wake up on time?

Helleofabore · 11/02/2024 09:19

I just watched the court case. Wowsers! That is all I can say.

MajesticWhine · 11/02/2024 09:28

I have recently been keeping my eggs in the fridge ( Bastard dogs kept grabbing the off the worktop ).
As for the link, well, they seem nice.

Chersfrozenface · 11/02/2024 09:39

Er, why are we calling them "roosters"?

They're cocks where I come from.

Town clock strikes every fifteen minutes then does the bongs on the hour! Less annoying than a cockadoodledoo at 5am!

Rooster is American, and faux polite
