Usually, chicken eggs can spoil at room temperature for 25 days. However, Soviet housewives managed to keep them in excellent condition for much longer thanks to one simple life hack, as reported by cxid.info.
This life hack from the past involved the following steps:
- After buying eggs, they were first washed and wiped well.
- Then, a thin layer of vegetable oil was applied to each egg, and they were allowed to dry.
- After that, each egg was wrapped in paper, placed in a basket, and stored in a dark place.
- As a result, a thin film formed on the shells, which prevented spoilage.
This trick can still be successfully used today. By applying this method in the refrigerator, eggs will remain fresh and retain their taste and quality for a longer period.
