how long do you keep eggs after the expire date?

I generally don't pick food out of the garbage.

Glad you are consistent.

Slightly older eggs are easier to peel than very fresh ones. I make a mean egg salad. :rockon:

I have used eggs that were months beyond the expiration date with no ill effects. I believe the inside is sterile, and as long as they are refrigerated, they can go stale but not rotten. If you crack the egg and it is rotten, you would notice immediately.

If you do mind stale eggs, put them in water. The stale ones will float because they have absorbed air, and the fresh ones will sink.

I only buy a dozen at a time and they are used up within about two weeks. So I have no problem with stale eggs. I believe some eggs are kept in nitrogen by the egg marketing board for 90-180 days before it is release for sale to the public.

That's how apples and pears are stored ... in nitrogen fill storage barns . This way they keep fresh for months at a time . Apples for sale in the middle of winter , that's where they came from . Once the storage room has been opened the apples go on sale to the public. The farmer that I get my apples stores his apples that way . Just as good as the day it was picked .

I used to get about 8 dozen eggs from another farmer for my mom . They would stay good for a couple of months in the fridge .

When I buy many items in cans and jars on sale I use a magic marker to mark the date I purchased them . This way it's easy to pick out the oldest item first and keep the rotation going.

Being a bachelor, I end up throwing out food every two weeks. Drives me crazy, but I just don't feel like eating what's in the fridge sometimes. Someone posted a site that has this info, I use a similar one:
