Storing Eggs?

[NoseyNose]

I have a china egg rack, made lick a porcelain eggbox.

Should I store the eggs pointed end up, or round end up,or does it make no difference?

Advice please.

Makes no difference

I store my eggs in something similar, on the worktop not in the fridge. The eggs get put in haphazardly, I've never considered which way up to put them, so I'd say, no, it doesn't make any difference.

Round end up - for no particular reason!

[Buenchico]

Hmmm.

Interesting!

There are countless web links that say one should store eggs with their points facing downwards (and none that I can see offering the opposite opinion) but the British Lion Egg Info page doesn't mention it at all:

Mine are stored in a bowl in whatever way they get chucked in

I'm the same, stored outside the fridge higgledy piggledy.

Can't remember the last time I had a bad egg

Eggs naturally laying in their nest, are always on their side

Yeah, but we're not trying to hatch them, Milvus 🐣

Questions about how to store eggs will always cause controversy and would you believe the people of America always store in a fridge and I read once that their eggs are always white!

I personally believe they keep better in a fridge, but if I know I'm going to use them that day, especially for baking, I take what I need out to reach room temperature, so I just put the box straight into the fridge as it comes from the supermarket and they are pointed end down.

In the fridge on the bottom shelf  round end up, in the box they came from.  Then the boxes go our local animal feeds store who sell eggs from a local farmer or my cleaner who keeps saved chickens and brings us eggs.  We don't use eggs very much.  I have the occasional, scrambled eggs  on toast and he makes himself the occasional omelette.  I hate omelettes and the smell of them cooking.  Neither of us eat boiled eggs or bakes.

And if I get any more cheek from that Red Helen I will throw eggs at her!

I keep mine on a rack on the kitchen units.  When I kept chickens, I always did this.  They are randomly stored, although I know which are the first eggs to use.  I rarely buy eggs these days, since I regularly look after the farmer's chickens across the road and thus my wages are all the eggs they lay during my stewardship, plus when they have a glut I get first dibs.

lol if you think you're hard enough Lottie

^  Wait and see!!

[pastafreak]

I keep mine in the fridge...cos I'm American 🙄😂

No...actually because I've not got a huge amount of worktop space left

I panic if there are no eggs.

[Barsel]

Lucky you  Barmaid, I don't think I've ever eaten a freshly laid egg, but I would love to.

We leave all such matters to the staff, usually Michelle. 😋

Oh Barsel the white is so plump and doesn't spread and imo just tastes so much better
