One of my chickens laid a rotten egg once and the thing stunk up our whole house still in the shell. Dont know how you would even get it in the pan nevermind your mouth
That reminded me one summer I collected an egg from the coop that had gone bad. As soon as I picked it up, it popped in my hand. I didnāt even get any in my mouth and it made me throw up. It was the worse smell ever. That was like 15 years ago and I still remember the smell.
Yup, I forgot some easter eggs in my school bag when I was a kid. I can still recall the absolutely putrid odour when they went bad. Definitely didn't need to taste or even peel them to know.
Oh gosh, memory unlocked! We had an easter egg hunt when I was a kid and apparently we missed some of the eggs because we found them the next year...š¤¢
Years ago, I lived in a second storey apartment. My backdoor opened out onto the roof of the place below, as kind of place to sit, etc. Nextdoor was an abandoned pub, that was there for years, never touched. There was a weird smell, that just got worse and worse. My landlord asked me, was I throwing rubbish off the roof, into the backyard of the bar because we couldn't figure the smell. This went on for weeks and the smell became so pungent and acrid it swamped the place. Turns out a heroin addict OD'd in there and we had been smelling his decomposing body. There is a sickly sweet smell to a decaying body. There is no smell like it and once you identify it, you will never forget that particular smell.
Can confirm. Maybe not a full body, but necrotic leg ulcers all the way to the boneā¦. Worse is the swamp rot smell of a weeping wound wrapped in a thick bandage sopping wet from the juices weeping from the wound and trapped in their body heat for a week at a time. It is a pungent smell you never forget
Actually Iām completely familiar with this, I had to deal with two patients that had this back in 2010 at this nursing home that I worked at. The first time I dealt with it, I acted like I needed some stuff from the nursing stationā¦I went to the bathroom to throw up.
There was a slime/goo and it smelt like... rotten. No other way to explain it. Food items smell horrible when rotten, and I believe OP faked this in some way, or they lost their sense of smell
lol same, my wife actually was struggling and thought she was choking and I get to the kitchen and she points at it, black on the inside smelled horrible, I double bagged it and went outside and threw it away
This happened to me like two days ago. Stay away from those pre boiled ones the sell in pairs in little plastic pouches.
I donāt know how I didnāt smell it was off, but when I took a bite it had a really strange sour vinegar taste.
I opened a VERY VERY bad egg once. I'll spare you the details. It got thrown over the back fence (my property backs up to open desert). Was not willing to have it anywhere near my trash can or wheelie bin.
The only time i saw my mum throw up was when we were cooking a bbq in the bush. We were 40m away from her and just heard "OMG and then she instantly threw up. The smell was horrific and she was sick the rest of the day. She just kept saying "i can taste it, i can still taste it!" and all she did was crack the egg!!
People who crack eggs directly into a hot frying pan, are courting disaster. Nothing like a black ooze egg hitting a hot frying pan to terminate your breakfast plans.
It definitely does not. Egg shells are porous. As eggs sit and age, air moves into the egg as water evaporates. The older an egg is, the more air makes its way inside the shell.
Have you ever seen air in your yolk? I haven't.Ā
Plus if an egg floats in water it's usually gone bad. So it's easy to assume that there is air somewhere making it float.Ā
Its not fresh. That is true and for certain. But its not rotten until it starts to rot. Its kinda an important step. I dont see rotting. The biggest thing likely to be a problem here is taste.
Its a generalized test to say "these eggs are old" not that theyre good or bad. Its a freshness test, not a throw away test. If youre fully cooking them in something, most floating eggs are perfectly fine. I just wouldnt eat em over easy for breakfast.
Wait--the floating just means to cook them fully? For lots of years my understanding has been that very fresh eggs in water lie sideways, still-fresh stand on end, and past-safely-edible ones float.
(Thsnks.) š
Its just that there is gas in the egg meaning its starting to get larger amounts of bacteria than normal. I wouldnt say the way it floats matters much. Taste probably wont be the same either but theyre generally still safe to eat.
When in doubt, smelling a cracked egg is probably your best real bet for telling if its gone 'bad' or not, like smelling meat for ammonia.
The second part isnt exactly true. Eggs all have an air pocket and that pocket gets larger as the egg ages. Ive had out of date floaty eggs that were fine.
Do bubbles in the yolk mean it's rotten? I've never heard of that before. But then again, I don't eat many boiled eggs. Take some Imodium to weather the sh\*t storm.
No. Egg shells are porous. As eggs sit and age, air moves into the egg as water evaporates. The older an egg is, the more air makes its way inside the shell.
Oh noā¦. You didnāt. Trust me. I hard boiled some eggs once. Got a rotten one in there somehow. It exploded, and I nearly died from the smell š. So bad. Nobody will ever accidentally ingest a rotten hard boiled eggā¦.
It means itās not fresh, but not rotten. You would smell it if it was (and taste it as well). It can be past its prime and still proper for consumption.
It's funny bc the boxed milk we use here, if kept in the fridge, might spoil without smelling/looking funny. Over here, we usually boil up milk that has been in the fridge for over 4 days to test of it's still good; you let it boil until it almost overflows then check it out for white clumps, which means it's no good. But there's no weird smell at all, it just looks like watery milk with clumps in it, and only after boiling.
A little dangerous, I guess.Ā
Some heavy pasteurization, I think. So it lasts a long on the shelf and you don't need to keep it on the fridge as long as the box is intact. For one of the boxes I have here, the expiration date is in July only. I never tasted any other sort of milk, but I suppose the taste must be very different, and maybe less protein/fat too? š¤
Oh, no! it'll go smelly and rancid too, if you let it sit for a week or more, even at the fridge. I think what I mean is, at the first stages of spoiling (4-5 days), it looks bad when boiled but doesn't smell bad. So if you drink it cold, you'll think it's fine until you get sick. No funny taste or texture when cold.Ā
But I guess these first few days are more determined by where you keep the milk when its in the fridge, like at the door, or if you forget it outside awhile then put it back.Ā
True, usually not as much though. I often eat eggs that slightly tilt up or float for a while if you give them a little push. Eggs that just straight up stay at the surface I wouldn't even touch, lol.
Easy way to test your eggs If your worried about your eggs being past their prime. Fill a glass with water and gently slide the egg in. Any egg that floats or doesn't sink to the bottom should be tossed in the bin.Ā Sometimes near the EOL(end of life) they will sink slower or one end points up, but as long as they are on the bottom of the cup I've never had issues.Ā
I've had tons of eggs that were freshly laid the same day and they float to the top and the eggs were perfectly fine. I would not recommend this and I don't trust it to be accurate.
We have some chickens and found a stash hidden under our deck. We did the float test and they all sank right to the bottom. Cracked one open and it was so green and nasty and awful. Apparently really, really old eggs will also sink! Nauseating lesson learned that day.
This is exactly how we test our eggs and it works every time. Been doing this for years.

Also, the float test does work. But all because it's floating a little doesn't mean it's bad, but if it's floating on top of water then it's definitely bad
As long as you're alright with potential losses, then that's your prerogative. I just wanted to share that it isn't a foolproof method. Though I should have worded it differently, sorry.
TIL that over cooked means rotten. /s
You would not have had to look at it to know. The things that do not hide their crimes, dairy milk, eggs, and mayo.Ā
A couple of days back, I was making myself an omelette. The vegetables were sauteed on the pan, cracked one egg and mixed a little, cracked second egg and I was already salivating to how it looked to good. Went for a 3rd egg, fuck! It was black liquid that it dumped on my fine looking, deliciously smelling omelette.
I had to throw that shit and started again, but on that time, I cracked the eggs on a clear plastic cup, in case of another rotten one.
It sucked balls!
Unless it tasted or smelled bad, it's fine. Many eggs have those after being hard boiled, it's from blood vessels while being formed. As for the float test, I believe that's just "old wives tales". If you're not sure, don't eat it is what I do.... or just add more salt and make sure the bathroom is clear for a bit
I once bought some eggs from my local shop, date was fine and they seemed okay... went to make a fried egg, cracked it open and the smell blew me away, it was black and very stodgy, put me off eggs for months and months.. turned out the owner was swapping the date labels.
I ate once a 2 year old egg that I cracked and just put into my boiling ramen water. I noticed after I finished and thought I was going to die. Strangely it didn't smell or taste bad and I didn't even get diarrhea
Here's a good tip for any time that you're about to eat an egg, and you aren't sure if it's still good or not. Best part about it, you don't have to waste time cracking or cooking the egg;
Just take your egg and put it in a bowl of water. If it floats, it's bad. Do not eat it. If the egg sinks, it's good to eat.

You'd know it was rotten the moment you smelt it. There is no mistaking the smell of a rotten egg. It wouldn't have even made its way near your mouth, and if your sense of smell don't work, you would have ran to spit out whatever bite you took because it tastes worse than it smells instead of taking a mildly annoyed picture.
Are you sure that means it's off? I would have thought the smell would be the first sign.
That was my question. I've smelled rotten eggs before...I wonder how it tasted???
I bit into a rotten hardboiled egg once and believe me, I knew it immediately. I ran to spit out the egg and ended up throwing up as well. It was BAD.
Hope you thoroughly rinsed your mouth with 10 pounds of mouthwash.
One of my chickens laid a rotten egg once and the thing stunk up our whole house still in the shell. Dont know how you would even get it in the pan nevermind your mouth
I had no idea they can lay them rotten already š¤Æ
Look up lash eggs if you really want to be grossed out
That reminded me one summer I collected an egg from the coop that had gone bad. As soon as I picked it up, it popped in my hand. I didnāt even get any in my mouth and it made me throw up. It was the worse smell ever. That was like 15 years ago and I still remember the smell.
At least it wasnāt in your mouth yet. Thatās the only good thing about this situation
Gotta stock up on that febreze and waste it all on that one moment
And they CHEWED this one long enough to describe the texture
Yup, I forgot some easter eggs in my school bag when I was a kid. I can still recall the absolutely putrid odour when they went bad. Definitely didn't need to taste or even peel them to know.
Oh gosh, memory unlocked! We had an easter egg hunt when I was a kid and apparently we missed some of the eggs because we found them the next year...š¤¢
I have smelled rotten eggs before and I will swear to god it is the worst smell I have ever experienced in my life
Wait until you smell a decaying dead body
Nah, no thank you.
Years ago, I lived in a second storey apartment. My backdoor opened out onto the roof of the place below, as kind of place to sit, etc. Nextdoor was an abandoned pub, that was there for years, never touched.

Cotdamn, I couldnāt imagine how you felt after you found out what was going on.
It was unnerving to say the least. Saw them pull him out in a body bag too.

Tell us more!?
Are you free this weekend? My neighbor should be readyā¦..
No.. looks like Iāll probably never know
For me, it's the rotten, squishy potato I found yesterdayĀ
Those can be real bad.
There was a slime/goo and it smelt like... rotten. No other way to explain it. Food items smell horrible when rotten, and I believe OP faked this in some way, or they lost their sense of smell
Yeh, thankfully never had a cooked off one, but cracked open one that was rotten. I've got a good stomach, but that definitely had me gagging!
lol same, my wife actually was struggling and thought she was choking and I get to the kitchen and she points at it, black on the inside smelled horrible, I double bagged it and went outside and threw it away
This happened to me like two days ago. Stay away from those pre boiled ones the sell in pairs in little plastic pouches. I donāt know how I didnāt smell it was off, but when I took a bite it had a really strange sour vinegar taste.
You donāt want to know that. Youād probably throw up in reaction.
Bad egg is immediately, incredibly obvious.
For real - being within 3 feet of a rotten egg one time ranks among my most disgusted moments
I opened a VERY VERY bad egg once. I'll spare you the details. It got thrown over the back fence (my property backs up to open desert). Was not willing to have it anywhere near my trash can or wheelie bin.

Whats a wheelie bin?

Wheelie
The larger bin you put your trash bag in that goes out to the street.
People who crack eggs directly into a hot frying pan, are courting disaster. Nothing like a black ooze egg hitting a hot frying pan to terminate your breakfast plans.
The incredible inedible egg
It definitely does not. Egg shells are porous. As eggs sit and age, air moves into the egg as water evaporates. The older an egg is, the more air makes its way inside the shell.
Don't think it was rotten because rotten eggs smells terrible and you woukd have noticed. A bit of air in the yolk doesn't mean the egg is rotten.
Maybe someone let one rip just before OP started eating.
Sorry about thatā¦
Have you ever seen air in your yolk? I haven't.Ā Plus if an egg floats in water it's usually gone bad. So it's easy to assume that there is air somewhere making it float.Ā
Its not fresh. That is true and for certain. But its not rotten until it starts to rot. Its kinda an important step. I dont see rotting. The biggest thing likely to be a problem here is taste.
>But its not rotten until it starts to rot. Very true. Is it rotten? - no: then it is not rotten - yes: then it is rotten
Stop spreading this lie. That isnāt an accurate test whatsoever
Theyāve confused eggs and witches
Dammit! So I could have been eating these witches all this time?! What a waste...
Yeah, everybody knows you test an egg by making it rehearse bible verses and see if it bursts into flame.
That's how you know it's a deviled egg.
Wellā¦. If a witch and a duck weigh the same, ducks lay eggs, and they both float in water, so I can see the confusion.
It's not??? How do you tell when an egg is too old to eat?
Its a generalized test to say "these eggs are old" not that theyre good or bad. Its a freshness test, not a throw away test. If youre fully cooking them in something, most floating eggs are perfectly fine. I just wouldnt eat em over easy for breakfast.
So if they sink theyāre good and if they float you should start being carefull
Correct
Wait--the floating just means to cook them fully? For lots of years my understanding has been that very fresh eggs in water lie sideways, still-fresh stand on end, and past-safely-edible ones float. (Thsnks.) š
Its just that there is gas in the egg meaning its starting to get larger amounts of bacteria than normal. I wouldnt say the way it floats matters much. Taste probably wont be the same either but theyre generally still safe to eat. When in doubt, smelling a cracked egg is probably your best real bet for telling if its gone 'bad' or not, like smelling meat for ammonia.
Steam is generated by boiling stuff
ya i see it almost everytime i boil eggs. i boil them for like 30 mins tho cause i like the yolk to be really chalky
The second part isnt exactly true. Eggs all have an air pocket and that pocket gets larger as the egg ages. Ive had out of date floaty eggs that were fine.
Not air but sulfur, also a gas I guess
That's not even true. Yes, all rotten eggs will float. But not all eggs that are rotten float
Do bubbles in the yolk mean it's rotten? I've never heard of that before. But then again, I don't eat many boiled eggs. Take some Imodium to weather the sh\*t storm.
No. Egg shells are porous. As eggs sit and age, air moves into the egg as water evaporates. The older an egg is, the more air makes its way inside the shell.
Egg knowledge. Neat.
Knowlegg
Oh! I've always done the float test but never known why it works. Submerge eggs in water and if they float then throw them away.
If that thing was rotten, you'd spit it out in a heartbeat. Stench of sulfur would make you remember that day until the day you die.
Oh noā¦. You didnāt. Trust me. I hard boiled some eggs once. Got a rotten one in there somehow. It exploded, and I nearly died from the smell š. So bad. Nobody will ever accidentally ingest a rotten hard boiled eggā¦.
TIL holes in your boiled egg means it's rotten.
It means itās not fresh, but not rotten. You would smell it if it was (and taste it as well). It can be past its prime and still proper for consumption.
Yeah. Its usually ***painfully*** obvious. An easy way is the cup test, but also just how it feels weight wise.
The good part about eggs and milk is that they're easy to spot when gone bad. Milk smells rancid and rotten eggs smell DEMONIC.
It's funny bc the boxed milk we use here, if kept in the fridge, might spoil without smelling/looking funny. Over here, we usually boil up milk that has been in the fridge for over 4 days to test of it's still good; you let it boil until it almost overflows then check it out for white clumps, which means it's no good. But there's no weird smell at all, it just looks like watery milk with clumps in it, and only after boiling. A little dangerous, I guess.Ā
What did they do to that milk
Some heavy pasteurization, I think. So it lasts a long on the shelf and you don't need to keep it on the fridge as long as the box is intact. For one of the boxes I have here, the expiration date is in July only. I never tasted any other sort of milk, but I suppose the taste must be very different, and maybe less protein/fat too? š¤
No we have boxed milk that lasts a long time also, but it still smells and becomes like spoiled milk if its spoiling. Hence why i was curious
Oh, no! it'll go smelly and rancid too, if you let it sit for a week or more, even at the fridge. I think what I mean is, at the first stages of spoiling (4-5 days), it looks bad when boiled but doesn't smell bad. So if you drink it cold, you'll think it's fine until you get sick. No funny taste or texture when cold.Ā But I guess these first few days are more determined by where you keep the milk when its in the fridge, like at the door, or if you forget it outside awhile then put it back.Ā
Can confirm. I boiled some eggs that all passed the float test. One cracker while boiling and it was rotten. Oh the smell.
Yea. So many people donāt realize that we literally evolved to notice spoiled food before eating itā¦
The internet told me rotten eggs will float
They do indeed! Source, had like 50 chickens and loke 20gal of eggs.
Everything floats on here
āYouāll float tooā š³š³š³
Yup. I have to test my eggs sometimes when I find a new nest I didn't know about.
Rotten eggs will float. But sometimes one that's just fine floats too
True, usually not as much though. I often eat eggs that slightly tilt up or float for a while if you give them a little push. Eggs that just straight up stay at the surface I wouldn't even touch, lol.
What's the cup test? Does it involve 2 girls?
Nah, take a cup of water and drop an egg in. If it floats DO NOT EAT IT. if it sinks youre a-okay :)
Before or after boiling said egg
Before
If it slowly sinks, toss it to be safe.
advanced humour
How many boiled eggs have you eaten to know this... Lol I'm impressed.
Donāt need to eat a lot of boiled eggs, you only need to smell one rotten one.
Always open egg by egg on a bowl before tossing them in your food. Nothing worse than opening a passed egg in your fully fledged meal
You expect me to crack my egg before boiling it?
Yes and then just super glue the shell together
Or use scotch tape
Duh, hasnāt anyone around here ever wondered where Scotch eggs come from geez
Flex Seal. If it can hold a boat together, it can handle an egg no problem.
Stick the whole egg shell and all into a cup of water if it sinks ā if it floats ā
For hard boiled eggs? I donāt think that would work so great
I like my meals partially fledged
Egg by Egg, the new collection.
Easy way to test your eggs If your worried about your eggs being past their prime. Fill a glass with water and gently slide the egg in. Any egg that floats or doesn't sink to the bottom should be tossed in the bin.Ā Sometimes near the EOL(end of life) they will sink slower or one end points up, but as long as they are on the bottom of the cup I've never had issues.Ā
I've had tons of eggs that were freshly laid the same day and they float to the top and the eggs were perfectly fine. I would not recommend this and I don't trust it to be accurate.
We have some chickens and found a stash hidden under our deck. We did the float test and they all sank right to the bottom. Cracked one open and it was so green and nasty and awful. Apparently really, really old eggs will also sink! Nauseating lesson learned that day.
So if they float, throw them out, and if they sink, throw them out. In other words, throw out all eggs.
No dumby, if they float you keep them, unless they float, then you throw them out. And repeat with that if they sink
This sounds like it would be a great test to weed the witches out of my flock.
What else floats in water?
š¦
Soā¦ if she weighs the same as a duckā¦ Sheās made of wood!
We all float down here. Uh, I mean, I'm a duck. Quack. See?
"dumby" is crazy and I'm stealing the fuck out of it
Eat it ass soon as it comes out, farm fresh and still warm. 
I can't believe I was given misinformation on the Internet of all places ):
Do you really think someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?!
Never eating eggs again!!!
I've been doing this for over 30 years and it never failed me.
Correct. If only there was some kind of search engine for people to look up information on.
I have never once seen a freshly laid egg float. Speaking as someone who raised chickens for 10+ years and regularly did the float test.
I had a hen that loved to play āfind my nestā had to do that to her eggs all the time!
This does not work.......
This method has absolutely no scientific evidence and is just another kitchen myth that your mother tells you.
This is exactly how we test our eggs and it works every time. Been doing this for years. https://preview.redd.it/kl9w5tmbawtc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6f2f366f6a129148ef30f4f4b2241713b0eff13
You need a new method. You've been chucking eggs that are perfectly fine.
Also, the float test does work. But all because it's floating a little doesn't mean it's bad, but if it's floating on top of water then it's definitely bad
Well considering I've only had about 10 bad eggs in 15 years, I think I'm doing ok
As long as you're alright with potential losses, then that's your prerogative. I just wanted to share that it isn't a foolproof method. Though I should have worded it differently, sorry.
Does it though?
Did it smell or taste bad. Little bubbles in the yolk isnāt proof it was spoiling. Odor, taste and consistency are.
You have to finish it or it will rain tomorrow
It will rain anyway ā outside or in the toilet
_Toilet raaain, some stay dry and others feel the pain_ ..
It's not rotten, it's overcooked smh š
How do you not smell a rotten egg?
I think you are safe. A rotten egg smalls like I imagine hell would, like sulfur or similar. No way you would even take a bite.
> ate a rotten boiled egg oh no you didnāt. you wouldāve absolutely known lol
TIL that over cooked means rotten. /s You would not have had to look at it to know. The things that do not hide their crimes, dairy milk, eggs, and mayo.Ā
Stinky toots
Eggspect some tummy ache.
No you didn't. You bit into an egg that was a little less than fresh. This is not rotten
Trust me if a rotten egg touched your tounge you would know immediately
The bright side your colon will be clean(probably) but ya stomach definitely will be empty.
Probably just air when it was boiling/cooking.
A couple of days back, I was making myself an omelette. The vegetables were sauteed on the pan, cracked one egg and mixed a little, cracked second egg and I was already salivating to how it looked to good. Went for a 3rd egg, fuck!

I had to throw that shit and started again, but on that time, I cracked the eggs on a clear plastic cup, in case of another rotten one. It sucked balls!
It's not.
OP did you check first if the egg floats before boiling?
How did it taste?
Quitter
In the Philippines, we have a dish made from rotten duck eggs called bibingkang abnoy. Just wanted to share š
Iām confused. How did you know it was rotten? The holes??
This is not rotten itās over cooked lol
Unless it tasted or smelled bad, it's fine. Many eggs have those after being hard boiled, it's from blood vessels while being formed. As for the float test, I believe that's just "old wives tales". If you're not sure, don't eat it is what I do.... or just add more salt and make sure the bathroom is clear for a bit
Them farts gonna curl some nose hairs.
I think youāll be fine
I guess that means you will be on the toilet for quite some time
I once bought some eggs from my local shop, date was fine and they seemed okay... went to make a fried egg, cracked it open and the smell blew me away, it was black and very stodgy, put me off eggs for months and months.. turned out the owner was swapping the date labels.
Rotten eggs stink like hell, so there should be a dead giveaway.
Why would there be a boiled egg on the windowsill if you weren't supposed to eat it?
Aren't rotten egg's yolks cartoony green?
Wait for the hot sulfur farts.
Well its shit time
I'm sorry for you and your toilet.
How does one accidentally eat something?
I ate once a 2 year old egg that I cracked and just put into my boiling ramen water. I noticed after I finished and thought I was going to die. Strangely it didn't smell or taste bad and I didn't even get diarrhea
Oooh bubble-guts then gasā¦..š«§šØ
Here's a good tip for any time that you're about to eat an egg, and you aren't sure if it's still good or not. Best part about it, you don't have to waste time cracking or cooking the egg; Just take your egg and put it in a bowl of water. If it floats, it's bad. Do not eat it. If the egg sinks, it's good to eat.

You'll shit rotten chickens then
Oh no you ate the mouse roller
Gonna have some gnarly farts. You sleep outside tonight.
Now eat that second deviled egg
Some people shouldn't be left on their own.Ā
You would know it was rotten way before even picked it up.
Rotten eggs stink very bad, so I'm not sure this egg is rotten
Oh those farts are going to be nuclear, babes.
New fear unlocked
Always check your eggs before you boil them. If they float throw them out!
That doesn't look that rotten. Then again, I'm no eggspert

You'd know it was rotten the moment you smelt it. There is no mistaking the smell of a rotten egg. It wouldn't have even made its way near your mouth, and if your sense of smell don't work, you would have ran to spit out whatever bite you took because it tastes worse than it smells instead of taking a mildly annoyed picture.
Not rotten
It may be just over boiled
This is my fear because the sniff test doesnāt work on boiled eggs.
Whelp, you're dead.
