Of course, keeping eggs in the fridge is best thing to do.

But according to Chris Beasley, from the home insurance company Smart Cover, it might not be where you think.

Most fridges have a set place for eggs to go and even have specially designer holders for them in the door.

“Eggs store best at consistent temperatures,” Chris said.

“Which is why you might find they keep better on the top or middle shelf of your fridge.”

This earth shattering information changes everything, but there is logic behind the madness.

The door is one of the warmer parts of the fridge, it’s also less consistent since it’s being opened and closed throughout the day.

Instead, keep your delicious eggs on the top or middle shelf for long lasting freshness.

If you don’t keep your eggs in the fridge at all, it’s time to break out of that habbit.

The best place for is not only on the middle shelf of your fridge, but also kept in their carton.

It might not be the most visually appealing, but it serves a purpose.

Eggs are covered in thousands of tiny pores that can easily absorb odours and unwanted bacteria.

Healthline explained: “Storing your eggs in the fridge is the best way to keep bacteria under control.

“A fresh egg stored at room temperature will start to decline in quality after a few days and need to be used within one to three weeks.

“Eggs kept in the refrigerator will maintain quality and freshness for at least twice as long.”
