Why a disappointment. Your tip was shorter in time than the commercial, I hope that doesn't become a habit. If it does, I won't be visiting your website as often s I do. Writing these words is not my personality or who I am. It just seems that everything is becoming about $$$$. Many of us come to your site as a release of. Hard day and to look for those tips to make us smile and to share. Yes, we are even willing to look a one add....not 3 ads in order to get one tip.
I'm sorry....it how I feel.

Rutgers backs this up, the air cell at the inside end of the egg may be larger in a bad egg-causing them to float, but may also just be large- cause it just is! I can tell you though that a fresh, free range egg is amazingly delicious!
(Mabel agrees! :) )
The rule that I was given by the Michigan extension service home ec dept, is that when you place an egg in the bottom of the cup filled with water, it will do one of three things:
1. It will lay horizontally on the bottom of the cup. This means it is Fresh.
2. The egg you lay on its side, flat, horizontally, will turn heads up, but will remain sitting on the bottom of the cup, sitting vertically. This means it is a little older, but is still usable.
3. You lay the egg flat on the bottom of the cup, it will rise to the top and float. This indicates that there's a lot of air in the egg, so you know the egg is older. Eggs that rise to the top are not suitable to use or eat. Throw them out.
A 2 to 4 cup measuring cup is good for this test. You want to be able to have a couple of inches of water to cover over the top of the egg when you place it in the cup, You want to see clearly that it rose up to float on top of the water.
I hope this helps.
