Expiration Dates

Little known fact about expiration dates: they aren’t an exact science.  The easiest way to find out if your eggs have ACTUALLY gone bad is to get a large bowl and fill it ¾ of the way with water.  Carefully place the eggs in the water. If they sink, then they are good to go. If they float, toss them out. This simple life-hack can save you so much money and time at the grocery store in the long run!

If they are still good, then here’s how to make your eggs last longer.

I’m all for simple, cheap, really-hard-to-eff-up recipes.  This one is one of my all time favorites, because you really don’t have to spend much time on it.

I bring you: The Easiest Hard Boiled Egg to Make and Peel

You’ll need:

• Eggs

• A muffin tin

• A bowl

• Ice water

• Salad tongs or two spoons

1. Preheat the oven (yes you heard that right) to 325 degrees Fahrenheit

2. If you just put the eggs in water to check if they’re good, then use a clean dish towel or paper towel to dry them off.  If you have a microwave with a fan, you can also put the tin below it and run the fan on high.

3. Put eggs in muffin tin 

4. After oven has preheated, put them in for 25-30 minutes

5. Prepare large bowl of ice water

6. After eggs are cooked for 25-30 minutes, remove from oven, use salad tongs (or two spoons) to pick eggs up and put them in large bowl of ice water.

7. Take out of ice water after 5 minutes

8. They are now ready to eat! (store in refrigerator)
