🔍 How to Tell If an Egg Is Bad (Without Cracking It)
If you want to be extra cautious, try the float test before cracking:
- Fill a bowl with water.
- Gently place the egg in the water.
- Sinks and lays flat: Fresh
- Sinks but stands upright: Still usable, but not super fresh
- Floats: Toss it — it’s gone bad
🧠 Why This Matters
Using this simple technique has saved me so much stress in the kitchen. Whether I’m baking, frying, or making breakfast for guests, I know I can avoid:
- The smell of a rotten egg mid-recipe
- Shell bits in my batter or pan
- Wasted time and ingredients
🙌 Final Thoughts
This tiny change in your cooking routine can make a world of difference. It’s quick, easy, and makes you feel like a more confident cook. Next time you’re reaching for the eggs, remember: crack first into a bowl — thank yourself later.
