How do you tell if an egg has gone bad?
It will smell bad, or be slimy. There’s also a lot of lore that says a bad egg will float in water. While it’s true that a very fresh egg will likely be just a bit more dense than an equal volume of water (and therefore will sink) it’s not necessarily true that a floating egg is bad. As we discussed before, an air pocket forms in an egg as it cools and loses moisture. As a result, a perfectly fine 1-week-old egg could potentially float. It wouldn’t be necessary to throw it out. It would just be a waste of an egg. ~~~ Q: How do you pronounce chalazae A: ka-LAY-zee ~~~ Other questions These are questions I’ve heard asked about eggs in the past, questions I received from other eGCI instructors, and questions I just thought needed to be addressed.
