How to Tell If an Egg is Still Good

This is the traditional method to see if an egg is good.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Egg
• Bowl
• Water

1. Fill a bowl with water, any bowl will do.

2. Place the egg gently inside the bowl of water. We don't want to break our egg before we get a chance to use it.

3. Observe the egg to see if it is good. An egg that is fresh will lie on it's side at the bottom. If the egg bobs in the water, but stays near the bottom, it is still good. If the egg floats on top of the water, it is rotten. Hopefully, your egg is not a floater and it is time to cook something wonderful with your egg.
