Water glassing is a popular method for preserving eggs, but how can you tell if they’re still good? Follow these quick tips to ensure your water-glassed eggs are safe to eat.
- Smell Test: A foul odor indicates spoilage. Fresh eggs will have no noticeable smell.
- Visual Inspection: Look for any cracks or discoloration. Bad eggs may have visible mold or an unusual appearance.
- Float Test: Place the egg in water. If it floats, it’s likely bad; fresh eggs will sink.
- Shake Test: Shake the egg gently. A sloshing sound suggests the egg has gone bad.
