"I&amp;#x27;ve heard all kinds of tips about how to tell if your egg is fresh or rotten or somewhere in the middle. They&amp;#x27;re all good tips, but you know what is even more effective? Try this... The smartest way to determine if your eggs are a little bit funky? Use your nose! Eggs have been at the center of major recalls lately, and while the sniff-test won&amp;#x27;t tell you if you&amp;#x27;ve got a salmonella-contaminated egg, you can sniff out one that&amp;#x27;s less than fresh--one that can make you sick. For example, over the weekend I was cracking some eggs in a bowl to make a quick breakfast hash for my husband and I (a yummy mix of onions, peppers, garlic, diced potatoes and minced dill mixed together with scrambled eggs), and I noticed that the eggs had an odd aroma. While I&amp;#x27;d never thought to sniff eggs before, I moved my nose closer to the bowl and detected a distinct fishy aroma. Gross! At first I thought it was my dog&amp;#x27;s breath (she was panting a few feet away, waiting for a scrap as she always does when I&amp;#x27;m cooking), but no, it was most definitely the eggs, even though they weren&amp;#x27;t set to officially expire for another three weeks! I sent my husband out to get a fresh carton of eggs, and when I cracked the fresh ones--they smelled, well, fresh--sort of farmy, sort of creamy ... just right. Have you ever run into a bad egg? How did you tell? P.S. Could free range eggs be healthier? And other ways to tell if you&amp;#x27;ve got a bad egg on your hands.
