Eggs should be stored in their original carton on a shelf in the refrigerator, not in the door. This helps to maintain a consistent temperature and prevents exposure to odors from other foods.
The best way to check the freshness of an egg is to do a float test. Place the egg in a bowl of water - if it sinks to the bottom, it is fresh. If it stands on one end at the bottom, it is still good but should be used soon. If it floats to the surface, it is no longer fresh and should be discarded.
No, the color of an egg's shell does not affect its nutritional value. The color is simply determined by the breed of the chicken that laid the egg.
Yes, eggs can be frozen but not in their shells. Crack the eggs into a freezer-safe container and label with the number of eggs and the date. They can be stored in the freezer for up to one year.
Boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. It is important to keep them in an airtight container or in their shells to prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods.
