How fresh are raw eggs?

The yolk in the the fresh egg is firm, the white is thick and cloudy. As the egg ages, the yolk gets flatter and easily breakable, the white gets thinner and watery

The air pocket in the egg starts to get larger with age. We can use the the size of air pocket to determine the approximate age. The size of air pocket will buoy the egg

Put your eggs in a bowl of cold water

1. If the egg lays on its side, it is very fresh

2. If the egg stands on its end vertically, egg is good and can be used for making boiled eggs

3. If the egg floats to the top, it should be discarded
