Eggs are good until they stink... when they go off, believe me you'll
know it! Even hardboiled - once you peeled it it would stink to high
heaven and possibly be green instead of white.
We haven't had a lot of trouble with eggs going off... but when we
were using freerange eggs from the healthfood shop quite a few of them
were dodgy. If in doubt, break each egg individually into a bowl
before you use them - that way you can toss out anything fishy without
ruining a whole recipe or meal. I learnt THAT the hard way!
