pasta I have heard of that before, but can you trust those methods ?

well....you can try that method-THEN crack one open if you are unsure. But if you google how to test eggs for freshness-that is the method that will come up 99%of the time.

Sell by and use by dates are there just to cover the vendors,as stated on several posts in this thread they will be fine.

Years ago we kept eggs out of the fridge and they lasted for ages. Use by dates are ridiculous on eggs. As others have said you will soon know if they have gone off!! 2 weeks is absolutely nothing to worry about with eggs. I am more cautious about yoghurts, but still eat them days after use by dates.

I ignore use by dates, instead I use my own judgement. If it smells bad then it's off. Otherwise it's fit to eat.

Here's an interesting article....

Notice that eggs on sale in shops are not refrigerated. The Best Before date presumes they will be stored similarly at home. If you' keep them in the fridge, they'll last longer before going off. I agree with Pastafreak - do the water test. It's what I do, and the test does work.

"If you' keep them in the fridge, they'll last longer before going off."

Absolutely untrue ... in fact, it's the opposite.

"but if they are gone off is there anything i can use them for?"

Option #1 :-)

I'd scramble them with a nice bit of smoked salmon. Yummy.

I have had eggs that were supposedly 6 months out of date. Nothing wrong with them at all.

Unless they're way out of date, just use them as normal. I've used eggs a month out of date and they've been fine
