Hard Boiled Eggs

[SirenSongWoman]

Eggs don't really expire on the date on the carton, they are generally good for at least a few weeks beyond the sell by date. I actually looked this up once (I google everything). Here's one article about it:

I have used eggs weeks past the date, they tasted fine, and I did not get sick. I think they start to lose their quality more so than go bad.

I appreciate this info because, once again, I didn't know. I don't need to throw out perfectly good eggs when every cent counts.

I can also tell you that if the eggs are really really fresh they will not peel as easily. If you want to know if an egg is old but it in a pan of water and if it floats to the top or stands on end, through it out.
