How many months can the egg refrigerator hold

Eggs can generally be stored for 3-5 weeks under refrigerator refrigeration conditions, and the actual storage time is related to factors such as storage method, eggshell integrity, and refrigerator temperature stability. When raw eggs with shells are placed in the middle layer of the refrigerator compartment at around 4 ℃, the protein structure is relatively stable and can usually maintain freshness for about 3 weeks. If you purchase boxed eggs that have been surface cleaned and disinfected, the shelf life can be extended to 5 weeks as the eggshell protective film has not been damaged. When storing, it is recommended to place the egg pointed downwards, so that the chamber is located at the round end of the egg, reducing the probability of contact between the yolk and the shell. Avoid storing eggs in the refrigerator compartment as temperature fluctuations can accelerate spoilage. If the eggs have cracks or have been broken into egg liquid, they should be consumed within 2 days. Boiled eggs have damaged the protective layer of the eggshell due to high temperatures, and should not be stored in refrigeration for more than one week. Observing whether an egg has spoiled can be done through a float test: immerse the egg in cold water, fresh eggs will sink to the bottom, and spoiled eggs will float up due to the generation of gas inside. Do not consume eggs with mold spots or sulfur odor on the surface.

When storing eggs in daily life, attention should be paid to keeping the eggshells dry and avoiding mixing them with other strongly scented foods. Thoroughly clean the surface of the eggshell before cooking to prevent contamination by Salmonella. Special groups such as pregnant women and infants are recommended to prioritize fresh eggs within their shelf life. For semi cooked eggs such as soft boiled eggs, raw eggs should be used. If abnormal conditions such as egg yolk yellowing and decreased protein viscosity are found, even if it has not expired, consumption should be stopped.
