Egg Float Test How Old is That Egg ? Test for Egg Freshness

Eggs will keep a lot longer than you probably realize. Generally, an egg will last unrefrigerated out on the counter at room temperature, unwashed, for at least two weeks. Unwashed and stored in the refrigerator, an egg will last a lot longer - more than three months. Even washed eggs will last for about two months in your refrigerator. But when in doubt, just do the Float Test. It's simple. Just fill a clear glass with warm water and gently drop the egg in. Freshly laid eggs will lie flat on the bottom of the glass.
