How to tell if Eggs Are Bad

Eggs have a long shelf life when kept in good condition, although they can eventually go rotten. However, there are a few easy methods for figuring out whether an egg is still safe to eat. Eggs are a fantastic source of protein, among other crucial components. In this article, we'll look at a few quick ways to tell whether an egg is safe to eat or not. The four methods listed below can be used to determine whether an egg is still safe to eat, according to Medical News Today. 

The float test is 1. 

The float test is a simple and effective method for determining if an egg is fresh. It provides a valuable estimation of an egg's age but is unable to determine whether an egg is rotten. To perform the float test, the egg should be placed in a large bowl of water. If it hits the bottom, it is still fresh. Older eggs will flounder or stand upright. The float test works because the egg's buoyancy increases as air builds up inside it over time. 

2. Visual assessment 

Sometimes an egg may appear or feel weird. Any signs of potential contamination or rottenness should be kept an eye out for.
