I bought a dozen eggs at the Cherry Creek Farmers Market last Saturday (May 7, 2011). Today, I put them in water to boil for hard boiled eggs. All of the eggs stood on their smaller end, which usually means they are about three weeks old...
Comment on this Review
I am disappointed as I paid $5 for eggs I won't use. Local is great, but if it isn't fresh, what's the point?
Comment
I don't know how to judge the age of an egg by placing it in water, but I do know that fresh eggs make cumbersome hard boiled eggs. The eggs from my grocery store are closer to the 45 day mark and are very easy use hard boiled. I suggest if you had problems hard boiling the fresh eggs, maybe let a few sit and age, while you use the others for baking or cooking by other methods.
