If you're interested in a way to preserve your eggs longer try the water glassing method - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Xwa6A5wWj4.html (also did another video tasting the eggs after 10 months in the jar! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G7Qon0DOaoY.html

Before I learned this neat trick, I ate an omelet with all floaters and got a bad tummy ache. Thank you for sharing! Mike in the US.

Than you. I have about five 18 egg cartons in my fridge dated for expiry of 10-04-2023. I remembered part of what my mom told me, but I was not sure. I thank you (and Mom.)

@walterdowns9978 Год назад

If you hard boiled eggs how long could you keep them in the fridge after.... in the shell

@CheaperWaysNZ Год назад

I'm not an expert but I've been told about a week for hard boiled eggs if they're still in the shell 😊

@michaelsane6136 Год назад

Can you feed the floating eggs to the dogs? What other options are there for the floating eggs? Is it ok to compost them?

@CheaperWaysNZ Год назад

No apparently they're not safe for dogs once they've gone off ... no reason you couldn't compost them though!

@Spaceman429 2 года назад

How soon do you need to use the “sooner rather than later eggs”?

@CheaperWaysNZ 2 года назад

It just varies a lot depending on the egg! If I find any like that I use them in baking within the next day or so, otherwise might pay to try floating them again if left for another few days (the only 100% way of knowing is by cracking them open, but trust me the smell is not pleasant if you get it wrong!)

@rythmjunky5292 Год назад

Been using this for years. This past week I had almost a dozen horribly rotten eggs out of 12 dozen. I always test eggs and wash as I need them. How exactly did these pass the float test? When I say rotten,I mean brown putrid “whites” and green black moody yolks. I’m traumatized. I use a light now to see inside of them.

@CheaperWaysNZ Год назад

Ewwww yes I've cracked one of those open before! Takes forever for the smell to leave the kitchen too lol ... not sure how they'd pass the float test but I guess there's always exceptions to the rule!

@StupidRobotFightingLeague 4 года назад

Heroic eggs.

@CheaperWaysNZ 4 года назад

The ones the sank were the heroic ones.

@danabare7061 Год назад

If you float test the eggs do they lose their bloom?

@CheaperWaysNZ Год назад

Yes that's the only thing - so you'd still want to use them fairly soon! I generally just put them in the fridge and use over the next week.

@yournamehereyournamehere907 Год назад

Aww c'mon! Everyone wanted to see u open one of the rotten ones.

@My2LIFELINE Месяц назад

What happened if I eat 7 floating eggs by mistake? Please tell me fast and save my life.

@CheaperWaysNZ Месяц назад

lol ... I'm sure you'll live to see tomorrow 😜 ... sometimes the floating ones are still borderline fine to eat and trust me, if you break open one that's gone bad you'll know all about it so I wouldn't stress!

@CheaperWaysNZ Год назад

@williamghost1516 2 года назад

Yes... that's informative and all fine and dandy... but is the "stale" egg inedible for cooking or scrambling? There is one video where a guy ate year old eggs and apparently didn't die... so do you have scientific EVIDENCE that eating eggs that float are Unfit or deadly for consumption or is this just an old Wives Tale?

@CheaperWaysNZ 2 года назад

I'm certainly no scientist, but have cracked open the odd rotten egg myself and can vouch for how much they stink out the kitchen 😂 ... some of the floaters might be borderline fine but it's up to the individual if they want to risk it - it's just an indication of how old they are, as the air sacks inside get bigger as they age. If it floats and you're still keen I'd crack it into a cup before cooking just in case! I have eaten 10 month old eggs myself but only after using the "water glassing" method that I also did a video on.

@vinzent001 2 года назад

floating can also note that an egg is fertilized and unless you are accustomed to opening eggs with baby bird bits in it, i would avoid anything floating unless your trying to hatch. and thanks for the video CW-NZ was very helpful.

@ronfox5519 Год назад

Old wives tales got old because they work. Without them, you and I wouldnt even exist. Maybe you could find a more polite way to word your question.

@kalebuck3282 2 года назад

did not work for me

@CheaperWaysNZ 2 года назад

Oh what went wrong? Bad one sunk to the bottom? The reason this is a good indication is the older the egg is the bigger the air sac inside gets, which is why it gets bouyant when it's older ... I guess there's always exceptions with every rule!

Didnt like my observations? Put yourself in their shoes. Cutting off their "arms" is so cruel, but hey who cares right? It ain't me.

@CheaperWaysNZ 3 года назад

Hey, thanks for the comment - just to put your mind at ease the actual wings themselves don't get clipped - just the tips of the feathers on one wing, which stops them from gaining too much height so they can't fly right over 6 foot fences etc - it's quite a common practice and if done properly doesn't hurt them at all (a bit like trimming your hair or nails), good for keeping them safe when there's pigs etc in the next paddock that could do them some harm 😊

If an egg floats right on top & does circles, it may be a duck's egg, right? 🦢🦆

@CheaperWaysNZ 6 месяцев назад

As far as I've heard they act in a similar way as chicken's eggs in that the fresher they are the more likely to sink - I'm no expert on duck eggs though so might have to look that one up!
