Seems strange but I believe him.

Yes, yes, I am afraid that "EVERY" topic in this universe has already been discussed and solved on PF.montoyas7940 said:Wow. I just read your links, Evo. Has everything already been discussed at one time or another on PF.

Uhm, you need to read the facts. Eggs (unprocessed) do not need refrigeration.Poop-Loops said:Same... the fact that this question even has to be asked makes me sad...
The recommended temperature to store eggs is between 33°F and 40°F. This temperature range helps to slow down the growth of bacteria and keep the eggs fresh for a longer period of time.
It is recommended to refrigerate eggs to help maintain their freshness and prevent potential bacterial growth. However, in some countries, eggs are not refrigerated and are kept at room temperature.
Eggs should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Bacteria can grow rapidly at room temperature, so it is important to store eggs in the fridge to keep them safe to consume.
If eggs have been left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, it is not recommended to refrigerate them. The change in temperature can cause condensation on the shell, which can facilitate the growth of bacteria. It is best to discard any eggs that have been left out for too long.
Eggs should be stored in their original carton in the main body of the fridge, rather than in the door. This helps to maintain a consistent temperature and prevents the eggs from being exposed to fluctuating temperatures. It is also important to keep eggs away from any strong-smelling foods, as they can absorb odors easily.
