Additional Freshness Tests
While the water test is effective, here are a few more methods to check egg freshness:
Shake Test: Hold the egg close to your ear and shake it gently. If you hear a sloshing sound, it may be old. Fresh eggs have a firmer interior.
Visual Inspection: Crack the egg open on a flat surface. Fresh eggs have a bright, rounded yolk and thick, cloudy egg whites. If the yolk is flat and the whites are runny, the egg may be past its prime.
Smell Test: If you crack an egg and it has a strong, unpleasant odor, it’s best to discard it.
