Keep eggs in their original container and store in the coldest part of the refrigerator, not the door. Eggs can be stored for at least 1 month.

An egg can float in water when its air cell has enlarged sufficiently to keep it buoyant. This means the egg is old, but it may be perfectly safe to use. Crack the egg into a bowl and examine it for an off-odor or unusable appearance before deciding to use or discard it. A spoiled egg will have an unpleasant odor when you break open the shell, either when raw or cooked. (AskUSDA- https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/What-does-it-mean-when-an-egg-floats-in-water)

Select fresh eggs and break each separately into a clean saucer. Examine each for freshness and remove any pieces of shell before mixing with other eggs. Thoroughly mix yolks and whites. Strain through a sieve or colander to improve uniformity. Seal and freeze.
