🥚 Secret Kitchen Test: Is Your Egg Fresh or Rotten? Just Use Water!
How to Check Egg Freshness:
Fill a glass with cold water.
Gently place the egg inside.
Results:
Fresh Egg: Sinks and lays flat at the bottom.
Old Egg: Sinks but stands upright.
Rotten Egg: Floats to the top – throw it away!
Why It Works:
As eggs age, air builds inside, making them buoyant.
Tips:
Always test before cracking if unsure.
Use fresh eggs for frying or poaching; older ones are fine for boiling.
âš Disclaimer:
This test checks freshness, not safety. If the egg smells bad when cracked—don’t eat it.
