Why rub eggs with oil: the answer will amaze you

Eggs are a versatile and nutritious product that is used in many recipes. However, sometimes you need to store them for a long time.

Fortunately, there are a few simple tricks that can help you keep your eggs fresh for longer. In particular, oil can help you. This was reported by TSN.

Shelf life of eggs:

• Without refrigeration: up to 3-4 weeks at temperatures up to +10°C.
• In the refrigerator: up to 3 months.

How to keep eggs fresh:

• Brush the eggs with vegetable oil: This method creates a protective film on the shell that prevents drying out and bacteria from entering.
• Store eggs separately: Eggs easily absorb odors from other foods, so it is recommended to keep them in an airtight container or in the carton they are sold in.
• Do not wash eggs before storing them: Washing removes the natural protective layer on the shell, which can shorten the shelf life.
• Store eggs in the refrigerator: Low temperatures slow down the growth of bacteria, which significantly extends the shelf life of eggs.
• Place eggs with the point down: This will help keep the yolk centered and prevent it from sticking to the shell.
• Do not store eggs near strong odors: Eggs easily absorb odors, so they should not be kept near foods such as onions, garlic, or cheese.

Important:

• Do not eat eggs with cracked or damaged shells.
• Before using, check the freshness of the eggs by dropping them into a bowl of water. A fresh egg will sink horizontally, an old egg will float vertically, and a spoiled egg will float to the surface.

By storing eggs properly, you can enjoy their freshness and flavor for a long time.
