    Someone’s never come home with a slightly cracked egg that’s glued itself and three friends to the carton.

    If you’re that pressed for time, turn the carton over. You’ll see a darker color if one has cracked and it’ll feel off when one or more doesn’t move.

      I open the carton and just kind of jiggle each pair of eggs, with my finger tips, ever so slightly to make sure they’re loose. Cracked ones won’t move at all because they’re welded.

      yeah when you buy tomatoes in a box, turn it over to see whether it’s wet on the bottom. if it’s wet -> it’s moldy.
