how long can fresh eggs stay unrefrigerated
âA fresh, free-range egg should last beautifully at room temperature for at least a week,â said Tim Hayward, presenter of the Food Programme on BBC Radio 4 and restaurant columnist for the Financial Times. âThe racks in the fridge door are the worst place to store eggs. The constant shaking thins the whites and the flavours of other foods can penetrate the shell.. Warm eggers stand their ground on the basis that supermarkets in continental Europe store their eggs at room temperature and not the fridge.
