Hi georgewoodman from Fife!!

If you happen to see muntjac and aggy down there do let us all know please. You might know what I am on about if you have been browsing. If not, they are two forum members who have upped-sticks to start a new life together at Glenrothes.

Welcome to the Friendly Forum by the way.

Just to add my two penny worth - I've checked my Katie Thear and she says:

"Eggs are best stored in a fridge or cool pantry...any that have been soiled should be wiped clean and fridge temperature will stop any pathogens developing. It is not a good idea to store eggs in one of those rustic-type egg holders that one sees in 'rural lifestyle' kitchens"

This is the advice I follow anyway

I've got one of those ''rustic type egg holders'' and I'm keeping it

Come to think of it - we used to keep chickens at home and my mum always had one of those china hens to keep the eggs in!

They need to be enclosed in something - egg box, china chicken etc. - to minimise evaporation through the shell.

The atmosphere is very dry in a fridge so evaporation would be fast.
