Answer (1)
It seems like the answer options are missing from your query. One thing you should NOT do when storing eggs is store them on the refrigerator door shelf. The door shelf is warmer than the interior shelves and experiences more temperature fluctuations, which can shorten the lifespan of the eggs. Other incorrect storage methods include:Washing eggs before storing them:Washing removes the protective coating on the eggshell, which can make them more susceptible to bacteria. If you buy pre-washed eggs, then you should refrigerate them immediately. Storing eggs at room temperature for extended periods:While unwashed eggs can be kept at room temperature for a short time (3-5 days), refrigerated eggs should always be stored in the fridge. Storing eggs outside of their carton:The carton protects eggs from absorbing odors and helps maintain their freshness. Storing eggs with the pointed end down:While some say the position doesn't matter significantly, placing the eggs with the blunt end down can help keep the yolk centered. Freezing uncooked eggs:Freezing whole eggs is not recommended as it can damage their texture and quality. If you want to freeze eggs, beat them first and then freeze them in portions.Correct egg storage methods:Refrigerate immediately: Place eggs in the refrigerator as soon as you purchase them. Store in the original carton: Keep eggs in their original carton on an interior shelf of the fridge, away from the door. Maintain a proper temperature: Store eggs at 40°F or below.
