1. To keep eggs fresh, rub them lightly with butter, glycerine or oil or apply puddled earth all over the eggs and store under mud in an air tight vessel.
2. At normal room tempertature of approx 18 deg C, eggs will stay fresh for about 10 days. In a referigerator, fresh eggs will keep for as long as 2 months.
3. Yolks can be stored for four days in a referigerator, but whites should not be kept for more than 2 - 3 days. Pour a thin layer of milk or water over the yolks to prevent them from hardening.
4. Eggs should never be stored on a rack in a referigerator, as they absorb referigerator odours through their porous shells. The eggs should be kept in cartons.
5. In the absence of referigerator, apply castor oil on the outer shell of the eggs to prevent it from rotting.
6. When the eggs stick to cartons or brown paper bags, wet the points of contact and eggs will not crack on removal.
7. Donot wash the eggs when you store them. Wash them just before use. There is a bloom on eggs that helps in keeping pdours and bacteria from entering the eggs.
8. Store eggs with broad ends. Yolks are less likely to break up if you store eggs with broad ends up.
