The shelf life of eggs, as mentioned above, depends on the temperature regime, as well as the storage location and freshness of the product itself. At a temperature of about 1-2 ° C, the shelf life of eggs can reach up to three to four months, provided that they are stored in the refrigerator motionless, that is, not in the compartment of the door, but on a shelf, moreover, in a special container or tray in which they were sold.
Lay eggs in a container with the sharp end down, not laying before laying. If these conditions are not met, then use the eggs preferably within five weeks. It is worth noting that it is undesirable to store eggs near acutely smelling products, as they can absorb odors. Also, they should be protected from contact with raw fish, meat.
At a higher temperature (from 6 to 20 degrees), the period of eggs is significantly reduced and does not exceed 25 days. The shelf life and conditions of turkey eggs are similar to chicken. Eggs of waterfowl can be stored in the refrigerator much less - no more than 14 days, but quail - up to three months.
To avoid poisoning, turkey, chicken, goose and duck eggs should be subjected to heat treatment, and at least five minutes. Quail eggs can be eaten raw. Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, with a bursting shell - no more than five days. Longer storage of these products increases the risk of their infection by microbes, and therefore the risk of poisoning, so try to follow the above rules.
