The most healthful methods of preparing eggs are those by which they are not subjected to a ⚫ temperature higher than that at which water boils. To ascertain the freshness of an egg without breaking it, hold it before a strong light or toward the sun; if the yolk appears round and the white surrounding it clear, the chances are the egg is good. Another test for eggs is to lay them in a pan of cold water; the fresh ones will sink immediately, while those that float are doubtful. The shell of a fresh egg looks dull and porous.
