How long should I wait before cracking it open? I want a horrible, strong smell. Years ago there was a related question, How long can eggs be unrefrigerated before becoming unsafe to eat? In that one, we're looking at how long are they safe which means a very low probability of them being spoiled. But one of the answers links to an experiment from the s by Mother Earth News. In the article, they mention that they abandoned the unrefridgerated eggs both store-bought and fresh laid were still edible but not great at 90 days.
But another month in:. By June days after the experiment was begun all the supermarket and all the homestead control eggs had gone completely rotten. Our experiment was set up on February 4, and was designed to run for a full year of regular monthly "look, sniff, taste, and texture" tests. It very quickly became apparent, however, that some of the "preservation" methods we were trying were worse than no attempts at preservation at all.
The eggs both fertile and unfertile buried in both the wet sand and sawdust looked bad, smelled bad, had lost their taste, and had runny textures just one month after being "preserved". Even the control groups — eggs which were just allowed to lay out at room temperature with nothing done to them — were better than that.
Conclusion after only four weeks: Trying to store eggs in either wet sand or dry sawdust is counterproductive. Forget it. Select a City Close. Your current city: Mumbai Mumbai search close.

How long does it take for most eggs to go rotten? There are too many variables in the question. Assuming you mean chicken's eggs, it depends on how they are stored. You can keep raw eggs at room temperature, refrigerated or frozen and cooked eggs in similar ways. Most websites say fresh chicken's eggs keep for up to a few weeks.

The rest of the space was filled with perfectly fresh air, with not a trace of hydrogen sulfide odor. The egg may have died of old age, but it did not turn rotten. The rotting of an egg is like the rotting of any organic matter: It results from the action of decay-producing bacteria.
There were no breaks in the shell through which bacteria could enter, so my egg had not been contaminated and no putrefaction occurred. Even though eggshells are porous and therefore ostensibly vulnerable to invasion by bacteria, eggs have several defense mechanisms.
