This Is How Long Eggs Last in the Fridge
Although eggs have been a common kitchen staple since the dawn of time, you may not know everything about this protein-packed ingredient, including how long they last in the fridge. According to a CNET survey, 93% of Americans are concerned about inflation, and 77% are experiencing "sticker shock" when shopping for groceries. If you're considering buying eggs in bulk to save money or simply want to stretch that carton in your fridge for as long as possible, we have you covered. We spoke to a food safety expert to explain the best way to store eggs so that you can enjoy them at their best, no matter when you decide to use them. How long do eggs last in the fridge? According to the US Department of Agriculture, eggs typically stay good for three to five weeks in the fridge. They "often remain safe to eat for a week or two beyond that date, as long as they've been kept refrigerated," said Zachary Cartwright, a member of the Food Safety and Quality Management Division at the Institute of Food Technologists and lead food scientist at Aqualab by Addium. There are ways to maximize an egg's freshness. Cartwright says you should keep your eggs in their original carton and "with the pointed end down to help maintain their freshness by keeping the air cell at the top. This slows moisture loss and keeps the yolk centered." It's also important to store eggs in the coldest part of your fridge rather than the door since the temperature fluctuates in that area, he says. Hard-boiled eggs that are still in their shell stay good for about a week in the fridge, according to the USDA. Why do we refrigerate eggs? The USDA recommends that eggs from a hen be stored in the fridge as soon as possible."In the U.S., eggs must be refrigerated due to the washing process that removes the natural protective coating on the shell, making them more susceptible to bacteria," Cartwright says. "In some other countries, eggs are not refrigerated because they retain their protective coating. However, once eggs are refrigerated, they should remain so to prevent condensation, which can promote bacterial growth." According to State Food Safety, the U.S. washes its eggs to prevent the spread of salmonella. The USDA also recommends that eggs from a hen be stored in the fridge as soon as possible after they are gathered. Can I freeze eggs? Cooked eggs freeze extremely well. David Watsky/CNET Yes, but not in their shells. One option for freezing eggs is to crack them and then beat them together before storing them. Or you can freeze the egg yolks and whites separately. According to the USDA, the whites are more optimal for freezing because the texture stays the same, but if you want to freeze the yolks, you'll need to add salt and corn syrup or sugar to help with the consistency. Individual eggs can be frozen separately in ice cube trays and muffin pans, and they can stay frozen for up to one year. You can also cook scrambled eggs or egg bites and store them in the freezer for two to three months. Although eggs can spoil, they often stay fresh much longer than you'd think. How to test egg freshness If you want to check if your eggs are still good before you crack them, you can perform a simple float test with your egg and a glass of cold water. First, fill a large glass with cold water, then gently drop the egg inside. If the egg sinks and turns to its side, it's still perfectly good to eat. If the egg sinks, but stays upright, it's also still OK to eat, but it is an older egg and should be used soon. If the egg floats straight to the top of the water, that's your sign that it has gone bad and should be thrown away. The egg float test: The egg on the right has spoiled, according to experts."This test works because air builds up inside the egg as it ages, making it more buoyant," Cartwright says. One important thing to remember about the egg test is that if one of the eggs in the carton passes the test, that doesn't mean all of them will. Individually test each one before cooking it and pay attention to the smell after you crack the egg open. "A strong, sulfur-like odor is a clear sign the egg has gone bad," Cartwright says. Something else to look out for is "unusual coloring, such as a pink, green or iridescent hue in the egg white or yolk, which can indicate bacterial contamination," Cartwright adds. Is the best by date on eggs accurate? It's best to keep your eggs stored in their original says that the best by date on eggs is "a guideline, not a strict rule," adding that eggs are often good for one to two weeks after the date printed on the carton, as long as they've been refrigerated. "As eggs age, their quality diminishes -- they may lose some firmness, and the whites might become thinner -- but they can still be safe to eat," he says.

US Open '25: Oakmont's par-3 8th hole requires removing a head cover
OAKMONT, Pa. — Maybe no one would complain about the eighth hole at Oakmont Country Club if the term 'par' had never been created in championship golf. But there it sits in the middle of the this tough U.S. course, the longest par 3 in major championship history, 289 yards on the scorecard and certain to top 300 yards in actual distance for one round, just as it did in 2007 at Oakmont.

Brian Snitker Predicted to Leave Braves After Season Hits 'Rock Bottom'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After a brutal loss, the Atlanta Braves could be headed toward the end of an era. Sitting at 27-34 going into Friday and in fourth place in the National League East division, the Braves are at serious risk of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017. And after an astounding blown lead against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, it seems all but assured that manager Brian Snitker won't be back after this year. "If you were looking for rock bottom, this might be it," former Braves pitcher turned broadcaster Tom Glavine said of the performance, per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The Braves blew a six-run lead over the Diamondbacks in the ninth inning after Snitker pulled starter Grant Holmes from the game in the early innings and jump-started the reliever carousel. It turned out to be one of several missteps this season that suggest it's time for the team to move on without their legendary manager when his contract comes to an end this year.

(Photo by Tim Clayton/Corbis via Getty Images) More Clayton/Getty Rosenthal predicted this season would ultimately mark the end of Snitker's tenure. "Snitker isn't blameless," he wrote. "The Braves aren't going to fire him after all he has achieved, but this sure looks like his last season." In his 10th campaign with the Braves, Snitker could log just his third losing record as the team's skipper if he is unable to turn it around. Despite his success and the fact that plenty of blame lies with the front office as well as harsh injuries to some star players, it's hard to imagine a 70-year-old Snitker coming back to lead the Braves after the last season of his current contract. If Thursday's debacle comes to define this season, losing Snitker won't be the only major change the Braves see.
