How to Tell if Eggs Are Fresh

ADVERTISEMENT

Your ultimate guide to checking egg freshness โ€” no guesswork needed!

๐Ÿงช 1. Water Test (Float Test)
The easiest and most reliable method:

Fill a bowl or glass with cold water.

Gently place the egg in the water.

Results:

Sinks and lays flat on the bottom: โœ… Very fresh

Sinks but stands upright: โš ๏ธ Still okay, but use soon

Floats to the top: โŒ No good โ€” discard it

Why it works: As eggs age, the air cell inside enlarges, making them float.

๐Ÿ‘ƒ 2. Smell Test
