[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 278989, member: 135"] I grew up on a farm and we raised chickens and we always used the float test. If there was any doubt whether the egg was OK or not, we used the stink test. I was taught in 4-H to always break an egg into a separate bowl instead of into your batter or recipe just in case it wasn't OK. My family has been eating eggs with those two tests forever and most of my relatives live into their 90s and beyond so I guess old eggs didn't hurt anybody much. Believe me, if it's really bad - you'll know it. Of course, the float test and the stink test don't tell you about things like salmonella but that can be present even in fresh eggs but if it looks OK and you cook it well, there shouldn't be a problem (I say as I take a spoonful of raw cookie dough).
