Can you freeze raw eggs?
Yes, but not in the shell. Beat the eggs together and store in a sealed container for up to 1 year.
How can I tell if an egg is still fresh?
Perform the float test: place the egg in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs sink, while old eggs float.
What is a good substitute for eggs in baking?
Common substitutes include applesauce, mashed bananas, flax seeds mixed with water, or commercial egg replacers.
Are brown eggs healthier than white eggs?
No, there is no nutritional difference between brown and white eggs; the color is determined by the breed of the hen.
What is the best way to clean eggs?
Commercial eggs are pre-washed. If using farm-fresh eggs, wipe with a dry cloth; avoid soaking in water.
Why do some eggs have a green ring around the yolk?
This is a result of overcooking, caused by a reaction between iron in the yolk and sulfur in the white.
