Crack em open, and let them sit in a hot humid environment for 3
weeks. They should be ready to use by then. Serve them to them what
you don't much care for. But be prepared to hightail it to Guiana.
Buy a mango farm there with option to produce bananas. Take vacations
in Turkey, Hungary, Siberia, and other nations where no sane man would
tread. Once your banana farm is profitable, start growing coffee.
When that runs out, remove yourself to Paris, and get down with the
remnants of Roman Polanski. Make movies with Max Baer Jr., and Ellie
Mae. Like just scramble your eggs. Is that so hard?

Even if they don't perform too well in frying, poaching or soft boiling,
they should be good enough for at least a month more for uses where the
yolk and white are mixed.

Give them the float test... if they float toss them.

They are good for up to a year frozen, and three weeks if kept in
refrigerator

I would use them in the next week or two in baking or any other recipe
where the eggs are well cooked.

Probably at least 2 more weeks .... test them by floating (or not) in
a glass of water.

If they're refrigerated from the get-go, they can be used for at least
6 weeks. I speak from 'sperience.

Hell yes! When I'm away in the summer, our local Save Easy, stamps
(in pink) each individual egg with the 'best before' date.

So cute. Not that I pay much attention. e.

If there's any question, I suggest breaking them one by one into a small
bowl before adding to whatever mixture you are cooking. Better safe
than sorry.

I say that because years ago I was at my MIL's house trying to make soft
boiled eggs for my husband's breakfast and every one that I slid into
the water split open as the water came to a boil and was rotten. It
turns out she hadn't used or bought eggs any for months. :-P

A couple of years ago my kids and I cleaned out their grandmother's
fridge. There was salad dressing there that had expired 12 years
earlier.

I was being conservative by saying 3 weeks, the max recommended from
the egg producers seems to be 5 weeks so you're correct.

At church, any time I put something in one of the refrigerators, I check
the dates on salad dressings, ketchup, etc. If it has expired, I toss it.

Crack them into a cup before putting them into a recipe or frying. If
they don't smell, they're fine. If you put one into a glass of water
and it floats, it just means it's dried out some and the air pocket at
the rounder end of the egg has become larger, thus allowing the float.
It doesn't necessarily mean the egg is spoiled.

I'd use them.

Well, we know one more person who's had some Spanish Castle Magic.

I've used them even older than that and suffered no ill effects.

I would try the water test: Put an egg in a glass full of water, and if
the egg floats, it's bad. (Gases build up inside eggs that are going
bad, and if they float, the gases have made the egg bouyant.)
