I've had a dozen eggs in my fridge for 2 weeks; are they still good?
Would they be okay if I hard boiled them? I'm broke and don't have any money for food, so the eggs are my last resort.
How long are eggs good if you keep them in the fridge?
Answers:
They are probably ok.
Put them in a pan of water and if they float they are bad. If they are sunk they are good. If they are standing on their end they are still ok.
Then you can boil them.
Friends of mine who raise their own chickens and sell the eggs say they are good for 6 monthes.
But the ones from the store have probably already been in storage for 3 or 4 monthes.
Just go by the above test for freshness.
Of cours if they are cracked they will go bad a lot faster so don't ever buy any that are cracked.
