Store eggs in the refrigerator. The temperature inside the fridge is ideal for keeping eggs fresh. Place eggs in an egg carton or lined box. This will help to protect them from bumps and to jostle. Keep eggs away from strong odors. Eggs are very porous and can absorb smells from their environment. Store them in a spot where they won't be exposed to solid aromas, such as near the garbage can or spice rack. Check eggs for cracks before storing them. Cracked eggs will spoil more quickly than unbroken ones.
