Everyone knows that storing eggs in the refrigerator will keep them fresh for much longer than storing them at room temperature. Specifically, a fresh egg stored at room temperature will degrade after a few days and needs to be used within 1-3 weeks. Meanwhile, eggs stored in the refrigerator will stay at least twice as fresh.
However, each position in the refrigerator will have a different temperature, only by knowing that can we ensure the freshness of the best food. Normally, many people will store eggs in the refrigerator door because there are often racks available to store eggs. However, this is not the most suitable place to store eggs.
Because, the door is the warmest part of the refrigerator and also the place most susceptible to temperature fluctuations. Meanwhile, in order for eggs to be preserved for a long time, the temperature needs to be stable and suitable.
“To preserve eggs well, it is necessary to have a suitable and stable temperature. That’s why you should put them in the middle of the fridge instead of on the door.”UK expert Mr. Beasley said.

The Agricultural Association in London (UK) said that eggs should be stored at a stable temperature and always below 20 degrees. In addition, this association also recommends keeping eggs in a box to prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods.
This is because the eggshell is covered with 17,000 tiny air holes. Eggshells are porous and can allow oxygen and other bacteria from the outside environment to enter the shell. However, you do not need to be too concerned because bacteria often do not grow well in cold environments.
Furthermore, the average refrigerator temperature is about 4°C, which can inhibit food spoilage bacteria such as Salmonella or E.coli. Therefore, if any bacteria come into contact with the eggshell in the refrigerator, they will not grow and spread to the egg yolk.
To keep eggs fresh for the longest time, you should put them in a box and place them on the top floor of the refrigerator. (Illustration)
In general, eggs want to be preserved for the longest time, you should put them in a box, placed on the top floor of the refrigerator compartment. In addition, to keep eggs fresh longer, you should also note the following:
– Wash eggs before storing: After buying eggs, you should use a wet soft cloth to wipe them clean, then put them in a box, store them in the refrigerator to prevent chicken droppings from sticking to the outside of the shell, causing unsanitary, even can cause disease.
– Place the eggs upright, the big end up, the small end down to keep the eggs fresh for a long time, the yolk does not stick to the eggshell.
– Do not let the eggs touch each other.
– If eggs have been stored in the refrigerator, they should always be kept in the refrigerator, do not take them out and leave them in the outside environment, otherwise they will spoil faster.
– Can add a layer of vegetable oil such as canola oil, sesame oil, … on the eggshell. This way the eggs can be kept for up to 36 days.
