π How to Tell If an Egg Is Bad (Without Cracking It)
If you want to be extra cautious, try the float test before cracking:
- Fill a bowl with water.
- Gently place the egg in the water.
- Sinks and lays flat: Fresh
- Sinks but stands upright: Still usable, but not super fresh
- Floats: Toss it β it’s gone bad
π§ Why This Matters
- The smell of a rotten egg mid-recipe
- Shell bits in my batter or pan
- Wasted time and ingredients
And most importantly β I never break a yolk I donβt want to anymore.
π Final Thoughts
This tiny change in your cooking routine can make a world of difference. Itβs quick, easy, and makes you feel like a more confident cook. Next time you’re reaching for the eggs, remember: crack first into a bowl β thank yourself later.
