How can eggs be preserved? Egg preservation skills sharing

The eggs bought at the same time with the neighbors are stored in the refrigerator. Why should the shelf life of the eggs in other people's homes be longer? It's very hot in summer, so Xiaobian suggests not to buy too many at a time, so it's not easy to break!

1. Put it vertically, not horizontally

Eggs must be placed with the big head up and the small head down, vertically and not horizontally. The fresh egg protein is thick and can effectively fix the yolk position. However, with the prolongation of storage time, the mucin in the protein will gradually dilute under the action of protease, and lose the function of fixing egg yolk. Because the specific gravity of egg yolk is smaller than that of protein, when the egg is laid horizontally, the yolk will float up, close to the eggshell, and become a yellow egg or a yellow egg. If the egg is placed vertically with the big end up, there will be an air chamber inside the egg head, and the gas inside will make the yolk unable to get close to the eggshell.

2. Don't put it in the refrigerator directly

Bought eggs can not be directly put into the refrigerator, to use food bags or fresh box sealed and then put into the refrigerator. If eggs need to be stored in the refrigerator, pay attention not to be directly exposed to the refrigerator, because the eggshell surface carries many pollutants, which easily pollute other foods in the refrigerator.

3. Eggs should not be packed with volatile substances

Eggs should not be stored with strong smelling food materials such as onion, ginger and garlic. Because the strong smell of such substances will penetrate into the eggs through the pores on the eggshell, accelerating egg deterioration.

4. Do not clean with clean water

You think the eggs are too dirty. If you want to wash them with water and store them, don't do so. Before the eggs are stored, you can't clean the outer layer of the eggs with clean water, because the outer layer of the eggs is a protective layer of the eggs. The eggs will breathe through the pores of the eggshell during the storage time. If the protective layer of the outer layer of the eggs is damaged, bacteria will enter the inside of the eggs through the pores, causing damage bacterial infection.

5. Don't store it in the refrigerator again

The eggs taken out of the refrigerator should be eaten in the shortest time. Try not to store them in the refrigerator again, because after the eggs are taken out of the refrigerator, at room temperature, bacteria and microorganisms in the air will enter the inside of the eggs, causing pollution.
