Because they're available almost all the time, it's important to know how to store eggs properly.

Many people store eggs on the shelf in the refrigerator. However, some experts advise against storing eggs on the shelf.

So, how do you store eggs safely and long-lasting? Read on for the full review.

1. Store eggs in their original carton

The first way to store eggs properly is to leave them in their original container. A carton can help keep eggs fresh.

Furthermore, the carton prevents them from absorbing odors and flavors from other strong-smelling foods in the refrigerator through the thousands of tiny pores in the eggshell.

2. Store in the refrigerator

Storing eggs in the built-in compartment in the refrigerator door is not a good idea.

Food storage expert Vlatka Lake from the Space Station says that storing eggs in the egg compartment in the refrigerator door can actually accelerate egg spoilage.

He explained that the part attached to the refrigerator door is most susceptible to temperature changes because it is frequently opened and closed. These temperature changes cause eggs to spoil more quickly than eggs stored in a place with a constant temperature.

"Eggs can be stored in the refrigerator, but not in the egg rack in the refrigerator door. The egg rack is susceptible to temperature changes because the opening and closing of the refrigerator door can cause eggs to spoil more quickly," Lake said, as quoted by IndiaToday.
