How long can raw eggs be kept in the refrigerator

Every time people go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, they will inevitably buy some raw eggs. This is the most common ingredient and the method of preparation is also very simple. It is quite suitable for office workers who have no time to cook. However, some people do not have to cook for a long time, which causes the eggs to go bad because they are kept in the refrigerator for too long. In fact, eggs also have a certain shelf life. If they are kept in the refrigerator for more than one month, they can no longer be eaten.

Many people think that eggs have no shelf life and can be stored for a long time as long as the eggshell is not damaged. In fact, this is completely wrong. Even in the cold winter, eggs cannot be stored for a long time. Generally, eggs can be stored for about 15 days at room temperature in winter and about 10 days at room temperature in summer.

Research shows that: Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the refrigerator is 2-5℃. At a temperature of 2-5℃, eggs can generally be stored for about 1 month.

According to nutrition experts, at a temperature of 2-5°C, eggs can generally be stored for about a month, 15 days at normal indoor temperature in winter, and 10 days at normal indoor temperature in summer. In order to keep eggs fresh and store them for a few more days, many families usually store them in the refrigerator. When storing eggs in the refrigerator, be careful not to wash them with water. If there are any dirty eggs, wipe them with a semi-wet towel soaked in warm water first, and then place them vertically in the refrigerator with the big end facing up and the small end facing down. This will keep them fresh for a longer time. Evenly apply a layer of cooking oil on the surface of the egg, or wrap it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to prevent the moisture in the eggshell from evaporating and prevent external bacteria from invading the egg. However, this layer of gelatinous substance is soluble in water. If the eggs are washed, they may lose this layer of substance and may easily deteriorate if stored for a long time. Therefore, the cleaning eggs need to be coated after cleaning.

However, when storing fresh eggs, you must be careful: fresh eggs cannot be placed together with ginger and onions, because there are many small pores on the eggshell, and the strong smell of ginger and onions will penetrate into the pores and accelerate the deterioration of the fresh eggs. After a while, the eggs will become smelly.

1. Do not wash the eggs before storing them in the refrigerator. Eggs with dirt can be wiped with semi-wet wool soaked in warm water first.

2. Place it vertically in the refrigerator with the big end facing up and the small end facing down. It can keep it fresh for a longer time.

3. It is best to evenly apply a layer of cooking oil on the surface of the eggs, or wrap them with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator to prevent the moisture in the eggshell from evaporating and prevent external bacteria from invading the eggs. It is best to keep eggs and meat separate.

If you shake it gently with your hand, if there is no sound then it is a fresh egg, while if there is a sound of water then it is an stale egg; if you put the egg in cold water, if it sinks then it is a fresh egg, while if it floats then it is an stale egg. The most direct way is to open the egg and if you find that the yolk is scattered and the egg white and yolk are mixed together, you can no longer eat it. Eggs must be stored in the refrigerator. When placing them, they should be placed with the pointed end facing down and the big end facing up, and stacked upright instead of horizontally. If the eggs are accidentally cracked or broken, they should be eaten immediately, or put into a container and beat it, add a little salt, seal it and freeze it. When needed, take it out and let it thaw naturally.
