Dates on eggs / how long do they keep for?
Comments
-
I usually use out of date eggs to bake. If I don't want something to eat now I usually make cake sponges and freeze them. They're fine for using in puddings etc although probably a little bit dry to defrost and eat as cake.0

They should be fine - date on an egg is a best before not a use by - just means they won't be as tasty. Probably won't be as nice for something like poached egg but fine for baking where you don't taste it so much0

I agree with the other posters.
I've used eggs 3 weeks out of date, lots of times! :eek:"I did then, what I knew then. And when I knew better, I did better"0 -
Always using out of date eggs but do the water test first.. don't get sell by dates on eggs if we get from our neighbours chickens!0

Well, first time posting in here, but having just made some cakes and muffins using eggs with a December 06 date on I can safely say that I am still alive and am not posting from 'the other side'!
:eek:
Load of old baloney this date stuff - like beard0609 says, no dates on them when they come out of the chickens @rse! Crack em, smell em and then throw or use depending on the smell
Lovely cakes they were too 0 -
Hi,
I had 4 eggs in the fridge that went out of date on saturday 25th. On monday when i got back from my weekend away I thought 'they will be OK I will hard boil them for sarnies'. So I did. This was 27th.
Oops then I forgot about them! They are still in the fridge in their shells hard boiled.
Bear in mind today is the 30th and I am pregnant would you eat them for lunch in a sandwich mixed up with salad cream yum yum.

I would put them in a big container of cold water. If they float to the top then they are off. I regularly eat out of date stuff but you are wise to be careful when pregnant. If in doubt, chuck it (pardon the pun!)Save £12k in 2012 no.49 £10,250/£12,000

There's a brilliant fresh egg test link (below) which will let you know the state of your eggs in terms of freshness...

Will that work though seeing as I have hard boiled them??0

Erm... nope
Silly me.
But next time you're worried about eggs - you can test them first.
Sorry.
I always keep my eggs in the fridge and never worry about use by dates - I just check them with the float test if they've been in there a while.
Edit: here ya go...
