Once the egg has been refrigerated (which it will be in shipping and in the supermarket) breaking the cold chain is, at best, risky; you'll potentially get condensation which can lead to contamination.
- ars 2y agoI'm not just theorizing here, I've actually done it. Multiple times, as in, every day. I don't refrigerate my US eggs, I've been doing that for years, with zero problems.
- arjie 2y agoThis is so fascinating. I believe you, but I am one month from a newborn so I can't perform the experiment. It's like how for years on end I'd read explanations on Hacker News for why Japan's traffic lights were blue instead of green and I went there and they were identical to US lights. So I'm sceptical of these folk explanations that always go around. One day, years from now, I shall test it myself.
