OK, I'm feeling a little bit stupid about this. I'm talking about eggs.

6. you dont have to put them in the fridge, but they'll last longer if you do.

what you dont want to do is take them in and out. you get condensation in the shell, and the white will be cloudy. if they were cold when you got them, keep them cold.

it's better not to wash them til you use them, and unless there's visible yuck, you dont rly need to. what you wash off if you wash them is the 'bloom', good bacteria that prevent pathogens from getting through the pores in the shell. chicks breath through the eggs, so they need protection.

if you do, tho, let them dry thoroughly. set them somewhere cool and dry for a day or so.
also, paper cartons are preferable, cuz they'll absorb any water.
