720million eggs thrown away in GB every year

Really? What is wrong with people?

 

Why buy eggs if you're going to throw them away ? And once you've bought your eggs you've got plenty of time to knock up a couple of omelettes or make scrambled eggs or chuck them into a cake. 

 

Are people bulk buying in case of zombie armageddon? 

 

Such an incredible waste.

I agree with you.  With all the bad publicity over the years I’ve tried to use eggs well before their best before date, but after reading your link I could be over cautious. You can also freeze eggs.  I had ago at freezing them a few months ago after reading the NHS advice on how to store leftover food.   After defrosting the ready beaten eggs I used them to make an omelet and pancakes, couldn’t tell the difference, but you might already know that you can freeze them.

Storing eggs

Eggs are best stored in the fridge as they are kept at a constant temperature.

Eggs can also be frozen. Two ways to freeze eggs:

crack the egg and separate yolks and whites into separate plastic containers or food bags before freezing. This is handy for baking.

crack the egg into a plastic tub and beat it before freezing – great for omelettes and scrambled eggs.

You can safely store a boiled egg in the fridge for a couple of days. Boiled eggs can also be frozen.
