Eggs are a product that is used in the preparation of many dishes. But they, like any other product, tend to deteriorate. The good quality of eggs can be determined in several ways.
It is necessary
- - salted water;
- - Light source.
Instructions
Step 1
Check the freshness of the egg this way. Pour some cold water into a saucepan, lightly salt it and lower the product there. If you come across a fresh egg, it will lie horizontally; if he is about three weeks old, he will lie upright. If it is spoiled, it will rise to the surface of the water. This is due to the fact that during long-term storage it dries out, and the air chamber located at the blunt end increases in size.
Step 2
You can determine the freshness of an egg by looking at the shell. Take a closer look at her. If the product is fresh, the shell will be dull. In old eggs, it is glossy and has a gray tint.
Step 3
You can determine the suitability of this product by the smell of the shell. Smell the shells - a fresh egg smells like lime. The longer eggs are kept in the refrigerator, the more they absorb the odors of other foods.
Step 4
When buying, always look at the date of manufacture of each egg separately, as unscrupulous sellers can put stale goods with fresh ones. In addition, there should be no cracks or chips on them.
Step 5
Check the quality of the product for light. Bring the egg to a light source and take a close look. The old product will show dark spots. Fresh protein is perfectly translucent, and the yolk is located in the very center and is almost invisible. By the way, in large stores there is a special device for translucent eggs, if you wish, you can use it.
