According to the latest discoveries of an expert in the field, the mystery surrounding eggs has finally been revealed, offering a concrete and definitive solution.

Although chickens receive salmonella vaccines worldwide, allowing eggs to be stored safely at room temperature, recent findings suggest that refrigeration remains the optimal method for egg storage.
Where in the refrigerator should you store eggs?
In truth, the most suitable place to store eggs in the refrigerator is towards the back of the center shelf, as it is strongly discouraged to store them in the refrigerator door due to their susceptibility to frequent changes in temperature.
Chef Anna Williams suggested: “This location in the refrigerator is best for keeping the eggs at a constant temperature and the cartons provide the perfect level of protection, plus they will have the expiration date.”
When should eggs be consumed?

Although reliable, this valuable recommendation comes with a note of caution. To ensure an ideal cooking experience, it is essential to remove the egg from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before using it.
Ignoring this guideline can cause the shell to crack or, for bakers, could decrease the binding properties of the egg.

The Food Standards Agency supports the idea that eggs should be stored in a cool environment, i.e. the refrigerator, inside their original carton to protect them from breakage. After all, there’s nothing more annoying than trying to clean up a spilled raw egg off the kitchen floor.
Additional recommendations suggest keeping eggs separate from foods with strong odors, as their porous shells can easily absorb odors. It is also recommended to store them away from raw meat to ensure optimal food safety.
