I keep eggs in the fridge but bring them to room temp before using,especially for baking.

Always out of the fridge if fresh - like from the chook in the backyard.

Definitely in the fridge from the supermarket and battery hens ...

I keep mine in the fridge, but always wonder why if the supermarkets keep them on the shelves anyway.Sort of seems a little pointless?

Out of the fridge and rotatethem on a wooden egg rack as I add fresh ones.Supermarkets, farmers marketsstore on shelves so I followsame example.

used to always keep in the fridge but due to always running out of room i now keep them out. never had a problem, just always use them by the date on the package

If you rotate them upside down and then downside up every few days as well - they will keep for months :)

years ago when I had a large family I got cracked eggs direct from the farm- dirtcheap. never stored them in the fridge. 6-8 trays at a time. And never had a bad one. So there!

FYI - eggs have enzyme inhibitors, just like seeds and nuts. In Seeds and nuts these handy little biological thingamajiggs prevent germination until conditions are right as well as preserving the seed/nut in a viable state till said conditions occur. Therefore seeds/nuts can remain dormant and perfect for many thousands of years.

Now I'm not saying that the same can be said for eggs, however, because of the inhibitors, they can safely be stored without refrigeration for a few weeks at a time.

I keep mine in a cool pantry, out of direct light. Sometimes they sit there for a month or so. Never have a problem, unless they are cracked. I have more problems with 'off' eggs directly from the shop!

We keep chooks and always store eggs out of the fridge. The only ones I ever keep in the fridge, are one's that I want to keep for a while to hardboil. The older they are, the easier they are to peel. It's nigh on impossible to peel a fresh egg.

i was told by a chef never store eggs in the fridge. i buy small quantities (a doz) use them quickly within a week or two. they never have a chance to go off.
