Where did everything in the cosmos come from? Can we know for sure if there is a life beyond death? Where is the best place to keep these eggs?
The subject of where exactly you should store your eggs is seemingly one that will never have a definitive solution. Where should it go, the fridge or the cupboard?
It’s a divided planet. They may be found in the baking aisle of most UK supermarkets. Across the Atlantic, however, Americans like to store things cold.
James Martin, a well-known chef, has just weighed in with his two cents on the matter.
James gave his controversial advise while on This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
He stated, “All eggs are porous,” which is “why you never put eggs in the fridge” because the eggs will “absorb all the flavours from the fridge” owing to the shell’s porous nature.
Do you think James is correct?
In any case, experts at the British Egg Information Service say he isn’t.
The experts suggest that the best place to keep eggs is in the refrigerator, where the temperature can be controlled and the eggs will stay fresh for longer.
However, they did add some qualifiers.
They recommend maintaining a constant temperature below 20 degrees Celsius for your eggs to ensure their freshness and safety.
And if you don’t have a refrigerator but still need to store perishables in a cold place, that’s OK too.
The experts also say, “Eggs can be stored in a cold pantry as long as it doesn’t get hot when the kitchen does.”
But your average cupboard or work surface is a big no no. They said: ‘Whilst a regular kitchen cupboard may seem a relatively constant environment, temperatures can still fluctuate when you’re cooking things that produce a lot of heat or steam.’
Eggs, strangely, may also be frozen. The experts advise that you beat the egg before freezing it and that you should never freeze an unshelled egg.
Now that you know the solution, you may rest easy tonight: always refrigerate your eggs.
