Out o date eggs

[BillySugger]

I have some eggs 2 weeks passed 'use by ' date . Are they safe to eat ? Is there a way of telling ?

Refrigerated eggs will keep for about 4 to 5 weeks beyond the pack date or about 3 weeks after you bring them home."

put them in jug/glass of water if they float they are bad if they sink they are ok.

I am with 4get on this one - I put them in a deepish bowl and if the air pocket makes them float, I would consider it past usable.

Also you will be able to tell by the smell.

eat 'em, they'll be fine. i regularly use eggs well past their use by date (up to 6 weeks), unless they smell bad, and have never come to any harm. and i don't keep them in the fridge either.

[BillySugger]

Well they don't exactly float but they do stand on there pointy ends - I'll smell them as I use them ,thanks all.

Open them separately and smell before you use.....you'll soon no'se.

If they cheep....feed & keep in cardboard box in airing cupboard.
