Random “ooh, ooh, I know this!” moment. - They last for weeks at room temperature if you don’t wash the cuticle off - longer than washed eggs in a fridge. They often come with bonus chicken poop.
Yeah I looked into the two different storage methods awhile back due to lots of disparaging comments from Europeans and found there really isn’t much difference in outcomes between the two systems, washing vs not washing. The systems just developed differently organically in North America and Europe, and inertia keeps them going. Investing the resources to change the systems either way at this point is just not worth it
Leaving the cuticle intact increases the shelf life whether it’s refrigerated or not. Washed & refrigerated vs. unwashed and stored at room temperature seems to be much less clear cut. Dried chicken poop doesn’t worry me, but some people find it pretty disgusting. Apparently you get better results when baking with eggs that aren’t chilled, so there’s an extra prep step for the baker who prefers washed eggs…
Milk don’t even age that fast…
Aged like avocado
I was gonna say, I bought milk last weekend and it’s still good
How about your eggs?
Also still good, spent $6.50 on a dozen XL pasture raised. Washed eggs will keep for weeks in the fridge.
I recognize you were making a joke, but there’s a real answer lol
