With scrambled egg thank you!

Well I just checked the born-on date, and I think they might be off. But you never know til you open them up!

Heheh born-on, sounds like it would be crime to eat them then.
I'll have something else then...
Cheers!

Top Tip Time!
Place the egg into a bowl (or cup) of cold water. If the egg stays at the bottom it's still fresh. If it floats up it has gone off.

Slightly side tracked, but does you rtoast come with an 'eat by' date?

so that you grow to the proper size, and don't end up cluttering some poor white rabbit's house.

Cooks, thanks for the Tip. Yea, I learned something today!

Do it work? (I do not need to cook...)

I can see why it would float, since there is an excess of H2S. (Most unfortunate)

Far too scientific for me Martin! :-) I don't know what processes the inside of the egg goes through to cause it too float when it goes off, but yes, it does work.

It's a build up of gas as the egg decomposes- That's why it smells bad too.

Oh dear. I'll have to go into know-it-better-mode again.

Long before eggs go seriously off, they simply dry out. As water from the egg-white evaporates through the shell, the air bubble at the bottom gets larger. Result: the buoyancy rises, and the egg floats up.

Near enough, lol.

I shake eggs to see if they are off. If I can feel movement, into the compost it goes!

BK - most people wait until they've cracked the egg into the pan before they scramble them! :-)

Another way of gauging the elderlyness of egg is to observe if there are tiny translucentish speckles, shows up best on pale eggs. It is hard to describe, but you know they are at least 3-4 weeks old if they get to that stage.

Any questions on chook behaviour, I can help! I used to want to be one you know (as a small girl)

Explains a lot :P

I know ^_^ I believe I was a bird in a past life

Zambezi Bushbaby was I cat. I know it.

I think my boss was an invertebrate. He hasn't changed much. (Sorry, it's Monday morning...)

I think my ex was a paramecium.

Are parameciums the ones that jump from aircraft?
