During the early-spring cleaning this past weekend, I stopped to make some lunch, and while looking in the refrigerator, I noticed an egg carton in the back of the refrigerator. I looked closer. There was one egg left in the half-dozen container. The sell-by date was sometime last November.

I gingerly removed this carton and did not put it in the garbage can in the kitchen. No, I walked it out to the dumpster directly. No sense taking any chances with such things.

Huh? It would have almost certainly been fine; eggs last indefinitely in the fridge. Their texture slightly deteriorates, which interestingly makes them better for some things. In the days when people always kept eggs at room temperature there were specific dishes you'd always use older eggs for rather than fresh ones.

The major problem with old eggs is that they tend to pick up other flavours from your fridge.
