Daily Tips: How to tell your EGGs are bad or fresh ??

Fresh?? or Bad???
Have you ever wondered how long have your eggs been sitting in your refrigerator? Already one month? Two months?? Without the egg box, surely there is no way of knowing when you puchase them.

Recently, I did some online searching and found out that actually there is a simple and quick test which can let us know if the egg is still fresh or bad. All you need is just a bowl of water and your eggs.

Please find below for the steps :

  1. Fill a bowl of water and slowly place the eggs into the water.
  2. Monitor the eggs. If the egg is fresh, it will sink to the bottom and lay flat. Semi-fresh egg will tend to float and stand in an upright position. Lastly, the bad egg will just float at the top without sinking at all. Do not eat this kind of eggs.


By the way, I found an "eggs testing" video clip from youtube, and would like to share with you guys......The video is straight to the point...
