How Do You Check To See If Eggs Are Bad?
To check if eggs are bad, you can perform the water test. Fill a bowl with water and gently place the egg in it. If the egg sinks and lies flat on the bottom of the bowl, it’s fresh and safe to eat. If it stands upright or floats on the surface, it’s no longer fresh and should be discarded. The reason an egg that stands upright or floats is bad is due to the gases that accumulate inside it when it starts to decompose.
