How long can raw eggs stay unrefrigerated?

Answer 1

This really depends on how fresh the eggs are when you get them. Eggs that are only a few days old will last well over a month. Eggs from the store usually last about two weeks past the experation date. However, you never know how old they are when they make it to the store so a foolproof way to tell if your eggs are good or not is to put a raw egg (in its shell) in a full glass of water (so the water covers the egg by a few inches). If the egg floats it is bad. If it stays at the bottom of the glass it is good. The is due to the fact that as eggs break down they get air pockets inside the shell.

Answer 2

"3 weeks or without refrigerated 2 hours"

Wow. That is completely wrong. they can last for weeks, unrefrigerated, especially fertized eggs. It's a natural aspect of chicken genetics. The egg will go into a sort of "stasis" until the hen has layed enough eggs and starts sitting on them, that's why all the chicks hatch about the same time. That can take up to 2 weeks or more. The eggs are still technically fresh, for around 14 days after being laid. I've had them on my kitchen counter for 2-3 weeks. That's still fresher than you would buy at the grocery store. Those can legally be a month old before you even buy them.

Answer 3

Raw eggs in the shell will last for about four to six weeks if maintained in cool temperatures. Store raw eggs on an inside shelf of the refrigerator not in the door of the fridge. Keep the eggs in the container they are purchased in to prevent odour transfer.

Answer 4

In general, eggs from the store shouldn't go unrefrigerated to the point where they get warm for more than a short period of time because it allows the bacteria salmonilla to grow, though with farm fresh eggs, there is almost no risk of it because they aren't exposed to the same conditions as store bought eggs are. That is why back when there were no refrigerators, and also no giant factory like farms for egg production, it was safe to leave eggs out on the counter in the heat for as long as they needed to be.

Answer 5

Chicken ranches don't refrigerate them. Then, at Easter, the markets just stack cases of them in the store room not refrigerated. You can probably leave it out for a few days, at least. When you use it, crack it into a bowl and sniff for any odor. If it smells ok, it's safe to use.

Answer 6

in the shell will stay fresh for about a month.

out of the shell only a day or two, but you can increase this time by adding lemon juice (the citric acid prevents bacterial growth)

Answer 7

A raw egg that is out of the shell will stay fresh for approximately three to four days. In the shell, the egg will last for around five weeks.

Answer 8

In the shell about one month.
