Because this is one of the favorite and most oftenused in cooking products, many housewives are concerned about the question: how many eggs are stored? According to GOSTs, the shelf life of chicken eggs of food restaurants is 25 days from the time of sorting (the main condition is storage temperature from 0 to +20 ° С). The same as stored in special refrigerators at the manufacturer, (from -2 to 0 ° C) are stored up to 90 days (humidity - 85-88%). Terms of implementation do not change throughout the year.
On how many eggs are stored, dependsthe best way to prepare them. During the first 7 days they are suitable for use raw, for cooking "fried eggs", boiled eggs "soft" or "in a bag". With longer storage of this product with such methods of preparation, there is a risk of infection with salmonella.
How many eggs are stored at home?It is possible to find the raw product in the refrigerator at a temperature of -2 to 0 ° C for up to 3 months, but this is provided that it is just eggs that have just been laid. And since this situation is rather rare, it is better to store them for no more than 30 days. Also, do not leave them long without a refrigerator. Although eggs are allowed in the room for up to 25 days, not knowing the date of their production, you risk eating spoiled or germ-infected eggs. In room conditions they are stored for not more than a week. The ideal option for determining the date for the production of eggs is the purchase of those on whose shell the date is indicated when they were demolished. But in this case you should not be too sure of how they were stored until the moment of purchase. And why buy such an affordable and inexpensive product for future use? Do not forget that the most useful are dietary eggs (suitable for up to 7 days).
Eggs boiled in the refrigerator can be 7-10days. Further storage increases the risk of infection with microbes and poisoning. In the room, this product is stored for no more than 12 hours. Some sources indicate that boiled eggs in the refrigerator can be left for up to 20 days, and at room temperature - up to 10. Do not trust this information too much, since only the product containing antibiotics can really survive at such times. Eggs - perishable, so many unscrupulous manufacturers often add chicken to food antibiotics (or inject). Thus, they protect them from diseases and extend the shelf life of poultry products. Also, eggs that do not have a date of production, often come to us at the end of their storage, so they quickly deteriorate. The boiled egg with a cracked shell is stored in the refrigerator for no more than 4 days.
In addition to chicken, there are duck, goose,quail eggs. The terms of their validity vary considerably. How many eggs are stored duck? Leave them in the refrigerator for a period of not more than a week. This product is more likely to be a source of various bacteria.
Goose eggs are stored in the refrigerator for not more than a week.
The shelf life of the quail eggs is much higher than that of chicken eggs. In the refrigerator they can stay up to 3 months. At room temperature, they last about a month (with an intact shell).
Poisoning eggs in recent years has become verya frequent occurrence. The deterioration of this product contributes to moisture, heat and storage time. If you doubt the quality of the egg, before cooking, break it into a separate bowl. If it has an unpleasant smell and a suspicious look, it is better to throw it away. To determine the freshness of the eggs, you can lower it into the water if it plunges horizontally or with a slope - it is quite fresh. The freshest of them sink to the bottom. If the egg floats on the surface or slightly drops into the water vertically - it is foul. This product is better not to use.
The most sensitive to poisoning are expiredor stale eggs, elderly people, children and adolescents, pregnant women. Do not use heavily soiled, old or stored with a cracked shell. When eating raw or thermally poorly processed eggs, the risk of infection with salmonella and ordinary food poisoning increases. In this case, a person has nausea, vomiting, fever or chills, headache, loss of strength, muscle weakness. Symptoms of the disease manifest after 12-48 hours after infection. In case of their occurrence it is necessary to address at once to the doctor.
