How to choose good eggs:
- Eggshell: Fresh eggs will have a thin white powdery layer on the outside, feeling rough or heavy to the touch. If the eggshell is smooth and shiny, or has cracks, it means the eggs have been stored for too long and are not fresh.
- Light test: You can shine a light through the egg or roll up a piece of newspaper and hold it under sunlight. If you see that the air cell in the egg is still small, the yolk is round and does not move, and the white is transparent with an orange-red or light pink color, then the egg is fresh. In the case of old eggs, the color will be red with many moving veins around and a large air cell space.
- Shake gently: Hold the egg up to your ear and shake it gently. If you hear a sound, it’s an old egg that has been stored for a long time. If you do not hear anything but feel the egg moving strongly, it is a bad egg, a hen that is in the process of hatching,…
- If possible, you should use a 10% salt solution to drop the egg into. If the egg sinks to the bottom of the water, it is a freshly laid egg. If the egg floats on the surface, it has been stored for more than 5 days.

How to store eggs:
- To store eggs for a long time, you can put them in a container of dry rice husks or dried tea leaves and keep them in a cool place.
- Use newspaper or a soft cloth to clean the eggs; absolutely do not use a damp cloth as it will cause the eggs to rot. After that, place the eggs in a cardboard box or a sealed plastic bag and store them in a cool place, away from light.
- You can also apply a layer of vegetable oil such as olive oil, coconut oil, or sesame oil on the eggs. This method will help preserve the eggs for 1 month.
- Storing eggs with grains like sesame, soybeans, black beans… will help keep the eggs fresh for a long time while maintaining their freshness.
- If you store eggs in the refrigerator, take them out 30 minutes before cooking or soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before preparing. Cold eggs can easily clump when frying.
