what temperature do eggs need to be stored at
The study reported that egg quality was found to deteriorate at four weeks in temperatures of 7.2 c or above (room temperature is normally taken to be 20 c). The optimum temperature for lengthy storage, said investigators from Texas A&M Universityâs department of poultry science, was between 0.6 c and 2.2 c. A fridgeâs temperature is typically between 1.7 c and 3.3 c â but obviously you can adjust it to fit your chosen parameters. Other U.S. scientists are even more cautious. The highly respected Mayo Clinic recommends you throw away eggs if they have been left out of the fridge for more than two hours.
