Eggs play a crucial role in many recipes, and keeping them fresh is important not just for taste, but also for your health. An egg that’s gone off can spoil the flavor of your meal—or worse, make you sick.
Luckily, there’s a quick and reliable way to tell if an egg is still good—using nothing more than a glass of water. This simple trick takes just a few seconds and doesn’t require cracking the egg open!
How to tell if an egg is fresh using water
This easy method helps you avoid bad eggs and make the most of the ones that are still good. Give it a try—and don’t forget to pass the tip along to friends!
What to do:
Fill a glass or bowl about three-quarters full with cold water.
Gently drop the egg into the water and watch what happens:

If it tilts upward or stands on one end: It’s an older egg, but still safe to use. Just keep in mind the quality might not be the best.
