How do you know when you've got a rotten egg?
Submerge your egg in a big bowl of cold water. If your egg lays on the wider end at the bottom it is fresh. If it lays at the bottom but sways a little it is probably a week old but still good. An egg that stands up vertically on its small end is about three weeks old. Lastly, if your egg floats then, my friend, you've got a rotten egg.
If you already cracked your egg onto a pan and have doubts take a look at the whites. If the whites stay coagulated around the yolk then it is still good. But, if a lot of the white runs away from the yolk then it is bad. Probably best to toss it.
