Wait, this is seen as an American thing?
Because I'm from the UK, and most people I know here store boxes of eggs in the fridge. That's how we've done it for decades, and that seems to be the 'norm' where I live. Certainly never seen any eggs laid out in a bowl on a table or worktop.
Maybe it's a regional thing here?
Edit: Just checked online a bit. Seems like it's a matter of individual opinion here, based on this Guardian thread:

The Daily Mail run a 'study' about it:

And there's a Yahoo News UK article saying not to:

Certainly doesn't seem like a unanimous difference between countries.

- m-i-l 10y agoAccording to the BBC article "Ketchup debate: To chill or not to chill..." [0] from a few days ago, the NHS advice states eggs are "best stored in the fridge as they will be kept at a constant temperature".
