I watched a Doomsday Prepper show and realized that even though most of the people seem rather paranoid, they do show some good tips for storing food.

One thing was about eggs.  This lady said if you cover your eggs with vegetable oil, it seals your eggs from bacteria and you can keep them for 9 months.   Now, I don’t know if that is true or not since I just learned about it and haven’t had the opportunity to try it.

I have also read that if you have farm fresh eggs, you should not wash them before you refrigerate them to ensure the “boom” continues to protect the egg.  I would wash them before I cracked them open though.

Again, if you aren’t sure an egg is good, you just put it in a bowl of water and if it floats, the egg is NOT good.  I had a few stand up on it’s end and I would not eat them either.

I always boil the eggs that are the oldest so ensure the shell comes off easier.  Fresh eggs seem to stick to the shell a lot worse.
