26、r look. But what about eggs? Theres not much you can tell by simply looking at or smelling one. Here are a few ways to check if your eggs are still safe to eat.You can do a float test to see if your eggs are bad. After enough time has passed, the egg will have enough air inside to make it float. Fil
27、l a bowl with water. Make sure that the bowl should be big enough to fully flood the egg, gently place your egg inside and see if it goes down or floats. If it floats, its old and you may want to throw it away. But, the USDAs Food Safety and Inspection Service says an old egg may be perfectly safe t
28、o use. Break the egg into a bowl to see if it has changed smell and appearance before deciding to use or throw it. If the egg goes down and stands up, then its not very fresh but still safe to eat. If it goes down and falls to its side, then the egg is the freshest.You can also perform a shake test
29、to see if your eggs are bad. Hold an egg by your ear and shake it. If you hear nothing, your egg is OK. If you hear something moving around inside, it means the egg is no longer firm but rather old and watery. However, FSIS does not allow this test for freshness. Your best bet is the float test or,
30、even easier, breaking the egg.You can break the eggs to see if they have gone bad. A fresh egg should have a bright yellow or orange yolk that is more rounded than flat. If the colour of the yolk or white has changed, the egg is no good. If your eggs look good but smell bad, do not eat them.38Accord
