It depends on how you place the carton in the refrigerator.

From a practical...non ocd stance... B or C.   It distributes the egg weight evenly in the carton so if you pick it up at one end the eggs don't all fall to the floor.

I had a good friend who said that eggs were "liquid chickens". Think about that.....

True.  But if you use option D and place the carton on the shelf with the egg-side to the front, then you'd pick it up where the weight is the heaviest and still won't spill them.

Edited to add: ... which is why I chose Option B.  It works no matter how you pick up the carton.

Clearly "other."  One egg should be placed in each corner.  It's symmetrical, and if you place them any other way, the corners feel too "light."

This post interrupted me checking to see if the door is locked.  I only made it to the thirtieth attempt.  I will now resume checking.

Just as odd, is how to put them in the fridge - I like the light end of the carton toward me - I don't know why.
Title: Re: You have four eggs left. Which carton placement is correct
Post by: catfish1957 on December 15, 2016, 03:49:23 pm

Due to frailty and quality of styroform these days, obviously A.  Provides proper weight distribution along carton surface area.  Thus reducing the probability of carton collapsing and dropping (breaking) the eggs.

B is acceptable, if you have the habit of grabbing the carton on the middle.  I'd guess most don't

And yes, I am OCD enough to have thought this through in the past.

I start at one end of the carton and take them out until I reach the other end, to lazy to move them around, for me OCD takes a back seat to my natural sloth..

D.  The question says you have 4 eggs left, which implies you've already used 8, and an OCD person would use eggs the correct way - start at one end of the carton and work toward the other end.  You wouldnt just pull them out Willy-nilly from the carton.

My wife and I always go use them from both ends to keep the load in the middle balanced. It's not really OCD it's just habit.

A little holiday egg trivia.  Old eggs peel better than new eggs.  I learned this while living in TN where one can actually get older eggs.  I was amazed that eggs that had been left in the fridge for two weeks would easily make gorgeous deviled eggs.

Moved back to Texas... two month old eggs don't peel well.  Eggs here are too damned fresh.

I actually knew that - My general use cackle-berries are free range and fresh, but I actually buy eggs to boil, because they peel better... and that dash of vinegar thing actually works to keep em from cracking in the boil too.

I eat a lot of pickles, so I always have a bunch of pickle juice around... Pickled eggs are awesome.

We enjoy pickled "cackleberries" around here as well.  Now I am hungry.

I'll say again... Do a dozen in bread and butter pickle juice... Make em deviled by the standard pickle-relish style recipe... Except substitute mayo with Arby's Horsey Sauce (one packet per egg). Best deviled eggs ever.

I am by myself, but I easy go through 3 dozen a week... A dozen to boil (and pickle if I can), 2 eggs every morning (makes for 14 more), and the rest go away in cooking .... Gotta use an egg wash to get flour on whatever I'm throwing in the oil, if you know what I mean...

Older eggs do peel better when they are hard-boiled.

Then again, ALL eggs peel better when they are hard-boiled.

It's because we wash them in the USA per gubmint mandate due to a Salmonella outbreak years and years ago. The wash takes off a protective barrier and the egg needs refrigerated. If you have your own chicken you don't have to.

B of course.  That is if you leave them in the carton.  Mine go in a hard plastic container that holds at least 18 extra large and does a much better job of protecting them.  Easier to get in and out of the fridge.  When moving them from the cartoon to the container you start with the corner egg on one end then the opposite corner egg on the other end and continue in that fashion keeping the carton evenly balanced just in case.

Picked eggs.  Yummmm.  Deviled eggs.  Yummmm.    I need to try the deviled pickled eggs.

I forgot.  Always break your egg into another container before adding it to food or otherwise cooking it.  Saves unpleasant surprises and ruining cake of cookie batter other foods.
