Eggs

Information
  • eggs should be kept at a constant temperature below 20° C 
  • most modern supermarkets are kept below 20° C so retailers don't need to store them in a fridge 
  • this also prevents big temperature fluctuations (for example eggs being moved from a fridge into a hot car after purchase)
  • to avoid the typical temperature fluctuations in your kitchen we recommend that eggs are stored in their box in the fridge
  • for further information go to www.egginfo.co.uk
  • remember that eggs should never be eaten after the "best before" date
  • eggs can be frozen successfully, but separately 
  • for whites, make sure you label how many there are in each container, leave whites to thaw naturally
