How long can I use the eggs after the BEST BY date?

We recommend that the LAND O LAKES® Eggs be used by BEST BY date on the carton to ensure quality. However, if the eggs have been purchased before the BEST By and are stored properly, they may be safely used for three weeks from the date of purchase. Any egg that looks unusual or has an off-odor should not be used. This determination is up to each individual consumer.

What’s the best way to hard-cook eggs?

• Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough water to come at least 1 inch above the eggs.
• Cover and quickly bring just to boiling. Turn off heat. If necessary, remove the pan from the burner to prevent further boiling.
Let the eggs stand, covered, in the hot water about 15 minutes for large eggs (about 12 minutes for medium, about 18 for extra-large).
• Immediately run cold water over the eggs or place them in ice water until they’re completely cooled.
• Use within one week.
Note: Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to cook eggs to this stage at altitudes above 10,000 feet.
