Once open, a very fresh egg will have a plump yolk that stands proud from the white, and the white itself will have two layers, the one that surrounds the yolk being the higher of the two. A slightly older (but still safe to eat) egg will hover in the middle, while a stale egg will float on the surface – a sure sign that it should be thrown away. A fresh egg will drop to the bottom of the glass and stay there. If you’re in any doubt about how fresh an egg is before you crack it open, drop it in a glass of water. It’s a good idea to crack each egg into an empty bowl before adding it to your mixing bowl, just in case it’s bad. Just crack them open, and you’re ready to go: tap the middle of the egg against the rim of a bowl to crack the shell, insert the tips of your thumbs into the crack, draw the two halves apart to drop the egg into the bowl and use one half of the shell to fish out any fragments of shell that may have fallen into the bowl.
