Here's another question...well, two questions:

Do you put the empty eggshells back in the carton or throw them away?  And do you use your eggs in a symmetrical pattern or from one side to the other of the carton?

Empty egg shell go in the trash.

When I take eggs out of the carton I balance the sides so if I ever take to carton out of the fridge it is not off balance and subject to falling out of hand.

I'm a little OCD. For example, I place my coffee cup on a perfectly squared and aligned paper towel on the kitchen counter. The coffee handle is always 90 degrees from the top of the paper towel.

I put the shells back in the carton--less trash in the bin that way--and I pull them from the outside in, as symmetrically as possible.

Yea. I got in trouble one time at the Louvre Museum in Paris. I noticed the Mona Lisa was hanging slightly crooked so I straightened her out. (Not really.)

Same here!

We put our eggs into an “egg holding tub” in the fridge. It used to have little dividers, but those annoyed me so I took them out so now all the eggs are in a big pile and I can fit two-dozen in there.

All shells go into the trash as soon as they are opened and the contents expelled.

I didn’t add in my last post but am I the only one who rinses out egg shells before putting them in the trash?

Probably.

But if you have bird feeders, let those washed egg shells dry out and then crush them well and add them to a feeder or put them on a plate. Birds will eat them, especially female birds who have recently laid eggs. The female birds lose a lot of their calcium in laying eggs and eating the crushed shells replenishes the calcium.

Bluejays are notorious for raiding smaller birds' nests and eating recently laid eggs or eating the newly hatched chicks to replenish their calcium.

It’s the residue inside shells that make me rinse them out before trashing them. They can stink. And it’s just me so I don’t have to carry trash out to large can every day. Heck, I rinse out any cans or cartons before I pit them in the trash. Super sense of smell has a lot to do with smelly stuff

I store my boiled eggs in a bowl in the fridge; raw stay in the carton.

Does throwing them in the yard work, too?  Or do you have to put them in feeders?  I may do this in the spring.

I don't know if birds would identify as something to eat if it's not around a feeder. Maybe on the ground below a feeder?

If you want after the shells are cleaned, you can dig a very shallow hole in your garden and put the crushed shells in the hole. The shells will add calcium to the soil which isn't a bad thing. Or just scatter the crushed shells on top of the soil. Either works.

The Single Worst Way to Remove Eggs from the Carton, Say Food Experts

But then there's the issue of how you're handling your eggs…

Are you one of those people who pulls eggs haphazardly from the carton at random—or do you take the extra care to remove them in a more orderly, considerate fashion? Are you someone who removes them two-by-two from one side to the other over time, in a linear way?

"My husband takes the eggs two-by-two from one end and moves down the box, therefore leaving the carton 'side heavy,' which can lead to eggs falling out when you're down to only three or four of them," complained one New York radio listener recently. "It makes me crazy. I know it's a little thing, but eggs have been dropped because of it and it's so easy to fix. I don't think I'm being too OCD about it. So I wanted to know from you. How do you take your eggs out of the carton?"

For the record, the radio station supports a method that many food and health experts we spoke to also endorse. "When it comes to using your eggs, you have to start on the sides and work your way in!," Joey Thurman, CPT, FNS, CES, a celebrity trainer and food and nutrition expert, emphasized to us, with exclamation points. "Start on one side, switch sides, and meet in the middle. Otherwise, you are throwing the weight off of your carton!"
