Goodie. So now I've gotta start making my own food.A couple of weeks ago, I got back from a 3-week break to find a few
eggs left in my fridge. The sell-by date was last December, but I
figured what the hey. I hard-boiled a couple of them, and they tasted
just fine.I'm still here typing this, so I'm assuming there was nothing wrong with them.
How long are eggs good for?
Eggs are good until they stink... when they go off, believe me you'll
know it! Even hardboiled - once you peeled it it would stink to high
heaven and possibly be green instead of white.
We haven't had a lot of trouble with eggs going off... but when we
were using freerange eggs from the healthfood shop quite a few of them
were dodgy. If in doubt, break each egg individually into a bowl
before you use them - that way you can toss out anything fishy without
ruining a whole recipe or meal. I learnt THAT the hard way!
