should you keep eggs in the fridge

[sfsorrow]

Should eggs be kept in a fridge, everyone seems to have differing views on this, I just want a definitive answer.

[squarebear]

Yes, that's why most fridges have those special holders for eggs.

[ummmm]

Well the supermarkets don't store them in fridges.

Ours only go in the fridge when I get fed up of looking at the box on the kitchen side.

I think it depends how long you're going to keep them. On a weekly turnover No,
I buy 10 every week and don't keep 'em in the fridge. I find they're better to cook with if kept at room temperature.
But there's no rule sfs.

I keep them in the fridge but take them out and let them get to room temperature when I want to fry, boil or poach them. I believe it prevents them breaking but I don't know if it's true.

No.

[boxtops]

I think you shouldn't, or take them out before you want to use them - but ours go in, otherwise the catz play football with them.

[ummmm]

At leasts sfsorrow got the definite answer...

[jaydah]

to stop them hatching

[echokilo]

No - or at least if you do, remove them for a hour or so before cooking with them for best results.

[ChuckFickens]

"to stop them hatching"

You do realise that eggs sold for consumption are unfertilised don't you?

[TTG]

What about easter eggs?

[Big Jenny]

Always keep mine in the fridge.
