Keep eggs as fresh as possible by storing them in the refrigerator in their original carton as soon as you get home. The carton protects the eggs from absorbing flavors and odors of other foods nearby, especially from strong-smelling foods like onions, cheese or cabbage. Keep raw foods (meats, poultry, and eggs) separate from cooked foods in the refrigerator.
Keep eggs refrigerated at 4hahaha176; C (40 hahaha176; F) or lower at all times.
Keep eggs in the main body of the fridge (not on the door). This will keep them at a more constant, colder temperature.
Keep eggs in their original cartons. This will protect them from taking on any off-odors from any strong-smelling goods in the fridge (eg. onions, strong chesses or meats).
Leftover raw egg whites and yolks should be put in airtight containers and stored in the refrigerator immediately. To prevent yolks from drying up, cover them with a little cold water. Drain the water before using.
Storage Times Refrigerator
Raw whole eggs Use by "Best Before" Date
Raw yolks or whites Use within 2 to 4 days
Hard-cooked eggs in the shell Use within 1 week
