Why not store eggs in the refrigerator. If you are Ukrainian or a resident of another post-Soviet state, you should probably keep eggs in the refrigerator.
In most European countries, eggs are stored either directly on the counter at room temperature or on the table in the kitchen.

Why so? European doctors say that during sudden changes in temperature (ie when you take it out of the refrigerator) the egg shell is destroyed, which will contribute to the dangerous accumulation of harmful bacteria on it. And because the shell is actually semi-permeable (it just seems solid and monolithic), these bacteria can get inside.
The ideal temperature for storing eggs is from 19 to 21 degrees Celsius in winter and from 21 to 23 degrees in summer.
Why do we continue to put them in refrigerators? Mass culture is to blame for everything. She told us that was right. And all because the industrial production of food can be hundreds of kilometers from the shops that sell its products.
Eggs can be stored at room temperature for 7-10 days, and in the refrigerator – 30-45 days.
That is, one day of storing eggs at room temperature is equal to one week in the refrigerator.
You know, right? Eggs you buy in stores can be older than three weeks!
But if you want to benefit from eggs and protect yourself from harmful bacteria, keep them at home just on the table. And buy only the freshest products!
How do you make sure you make the right choice if you can’t afford to buy eggs at the market? Choose the products of the supplier who is closest to your store.
And here’s something else. Never wash eggs!
This only increases the risk of contamination of bacteria – such as salmonella. That is why shops and manufacturers in the EU are STRICTLY forbidden to wash them.
The fact is that on the surface of the egg shell there is a special protective layer that protects the fetus from harmful bacteria. If you wash the eggs, you just wash it off!
And the last.
Refrain from eating raw eggs if you probably do not know their origin or the date when it was laid by a chicken.
