What Does It Mean If An Egg Sinks?
If an egg sinks, it means that it is fresh and has a high density. It indicates that the air pocket inside the egg is small, and the membrane around the egg yolk is tight. This is because the eggshell is not porous, and water has not entered the egg yet. A fresh egg will sink in water of any temperature, while a stale egg will float due to the increased size of the air pocket, indicating that it is not as fresh.
