It feels like a secret your grandmother forgot to tell you. But she didn’t. She knew you’d need it.
Every time you do the Egg Test, you are beating food poisoning. You are also having a tiny moment of science fun.
It makes you look smart. Crack a floating egg by mistake, and you’ll never forget the smell. Ever.
One More Thing
Do not trust the “sell-by” date. Dates are suggestions. The Egg Test is a verdict.
I once had a carton that said “best by yesterday.” The egg stood up proudly. It was perfect for a frittata.
Another time, a carton was three weeks past. The egg shot to the surface like it was escaping. Trust the water.
