Are eggs best kept in the fridge or at room temperature?!


Question: Are eggs best kept in the fridge or at room temperature!?
I've noticed when I keep eggs in a basket in my kitchen the colour of the shell fades!. The ones kept in the fridge keep their original brownish colour!.
Are they still fresh after fading!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
They should be stored below 18C - your kitchen is likely to be above that quite a lot of the time - so in the fridge is best!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

For all practical purposes, it doesn't matter!.

They seem to "cook better" at room temperature, however, most studies seem to indicate that Salmonella (which grows in chicken barns, under foot) grows better in eggs at room temperature!.

However, for most healthy adults, Salmonella isn't a great risk!.

(I keep mine out!. (But don't tell the Authorities!))Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you buy free range eggs or organic eggs they are best kept at room temperature, but shouldnt be left out longer than a week
however
if you buy battery farmed or non organic eggs they should be put in the fridge, as this helps kill any infections or food poisioning that the eggs may containWww@FoodAQ@Com

Eggs last much longer if kept in the fridge!. Look at it this way, the warmer an agg is the more likely you are to get a chick from it !. Hence why hens sit on them!. Blimey, i said hence!. first time for everything i supposeWww@FoodAQ@Com

fridge!.!.!.!.!.!.!.a way to check to make sure your eggs are still good you can put them 1 at a time in a pan of water!. If the egg sinks it's ok to eat,but if it floats throw it out it is no good!.

I've always kept mine in the fridge, but then I keep everything in the fridge, just in case the room temperature changes!. I like to keep my stuff as fresh as I can all the time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

However, before using them in baking, they should be brought to room temperature!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
