Sink or Swim? Flunking the Freshness Test28 total reviews
Comment from BethShelby
Real of not this is funny. You're saying you threw out the only two good eggs in the carton. I am like you. Dates mean nothing to me and I'll eat if if the taste doesn't offend me, it still retains the original color and it isn't slimy. My son claims I have the world's best immune system, because I eat things othere toss, and it doesn't seem to affect me.

Funny!
The part about following directions and getting those results is true--as to the bass-ackward test rseults--I made sure to check which was which before making the eggs--the ten eggs I cooked were the good ones!

Liz,
Hahaha!!! BUT. I am wondering if I am the first reader? Those were not two months, my dearest. July of 2020 would make it a YEAR and two months, right???
Oh. Hahaha!! July 20, 2021.
This gets funnier.
I thought about the spin test, but that will tell fresh from boiled, right?
I am no help at all!! Sorry!

Comment from Wendy G
Oh dear. That's not good. But I must remember the test. I find that they peel well if you drain off the hot water and immediately plunge them into cold water for a minute or two, then tap and crack the shells all over and the shells come off very well.
Better luck next time. lol.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
I steam the eggs rather than submerse them. There are several sites on YouTube that tell how. I found it works better for me, I have a steamer basket just for eggs. I make egg salad every week.

I always used to start with cold water--several sources said to start with boiling water to make them easy to peel--next time back to cold water! Perhaps I'll try your method.

Comment from lyenochka
Oh, you gave me a scare! I was going to say - isn't it just the opposite because the floating is due to the shell becoming porous and bringing in air. Then you give us the real answer. And as to the easy-peel solution, they rarely work for me. Thanks for sharing!

Good! I am always surprised that in other countries they don't refrigerate the eggs in the stores. Lol.
Have a good night! 🎵💤💖
Comment from Jasmine Girl
Haha. I have never left them in the fridge that long but they did sink except for two which probably smell bad. My husband boils eggs using a similar method as your youtuber except he uses a scientific cook book. Frankly I can't tell any difference than the normal method.
Well done.
