Make sure the eggs are fresh before you use them in any recipes that call for them. Master easy yet reliable techniques for determining the quality and freshness of your eggs, and you can rest assured that your meals will be both healthy and delicious.
Inspect the shell for cracks or damage.
Hold the egg near your ear and shake gently to check for sloshing sounds, indicating a spoiled egg.
Examine the appearance and smell – fresh eggs have clean shells and no off odors.
Perform the water test: Place the egg in a bowl of water; if it sinks and lies flat, it's fresh. If it tilts or floats, it's best to discard it.
Trust your senses and use your best judgment to ensure you're cooking with fresh eggs.
