Did you know you can test an egg and get an approximation of its age? All you need are the eggs and a bowl of cold water.

Gently drop the egg into the bowl of water.   If it:

• sinks to the bottom and stays there,  it is about three to six days old.
• Sinks, but floats at an angle, it's more than a week old.
• Sinks, but then stands on end, it's about two weeks old.
• Floats, it's too old and should be discarded.
