Hmm. Where did he get that too? Wolf. Why are you being tricky?

Narric • 07/15/2012

Uhm, eggs keep better when they're not put in a fridge. So whether or not they have a fridge is moot-point with eggs.

Does Fox have pockets like the Tardis? How in fur did he smuggle out a Chemistry hot-plate?

Slaton • 07/15/2012

Ah yes the eggs and fridge thing. Fridge makers put an egg shelf in, yet at supermarkets they are stored at room temp on a shelf? Still put mine in, but out of habit i guess!

Think Jan's a bit dazed and confused there lol!

Hee, hee, there's still protein in eggs too! =^^=

Never underestimate a crafty college student's ability to packrat stuff. Probably one of the reasons my college is still asking me for more money even after twenty plus years! =^^;

Ah yes, the obvious statements game. Fun entertainment for any roommate.

I don't know about everyone else, but everywhere I have lived and traveled, the eggs are always in the refridgerated section. And speaking as a microbiologist, they should always be kept at such cool temperatures anyway.

Typo in the last panel! Should is spelled incorrectly, just thought I'd point it out.

I love your comic, by the way =3

@Torias Eeep, thanks! Fixed!

I'll chime in with the refrigerated eggs.

In the markets I have visited, here in the eastern U.S., eggs are always in a refrigerated cooler. I have also been warned to keep them in the "fridge". Though a few days at room temperature should not have an adverse effect on them.

Dragontech64 • 07/16/2012

OK, my turn. I was taught a long time ago that unwashed eggs could be kept for quite some time at room temperature, and washed eggs had to be refrigerated, as all eggs in US supermarkets are. (FDA Orders, y'know) Something about some sort of barrier coating on the shells, that can be washed off. Remember, they keep just fine for the chickens, and THEY don't have refrigerators. As for freshness concerns, they've never lasted long enough around my house to matter.

Well if Wolf didn't cook em right away, they might be having fried chicken later in the week!!

Bryon Furwolf - Cholesterol is good AND bad. You need a certain amount in your system of HDL Cholesterol. LDL Cholesterol being too high is bad. Eggs, while bearing cholesterol, are mostly (if I remember correctly) HDL, and VERY high in many nutrients and proteins. The pendulum has swung back towards eggs being healthy food here in the USA (not sure what the rational parts of the world think). But, of course, that could all change tomorrow because of some "Today Show" speaker.

I'd heard that to, but no everyone, eggs are NOT best kept out of the fridge. Eggs are a dairy product, they require refrigeration.

No, the eggs are not kept at room temperature at the supermarket unless you have a supermarket run by idiots, implying other health code violations (wait, I think they do in Europe, must look that up).

The egg keepers are best used for storing ketchup and salsa packets, not eggs; like a digital watch they're a "neat idea". Eggs require a constant temperature, if you use the egg keepers you'll expose them to room temperature every time you open the door, and in some families that's a lot. Best to keep the eggs in the carton designed for them at time of purchase, and store them on the spine of the carton; not only will you take up less space, but if you like hard-boiled eggs then the yolk will always be centered.

Sorry, but I had to dispel the myths before someone gets sick.

Eggs can be stored up to three weeks without cooling. If you coat them in vaseline you can store them even longer, sailships did this when there was no cooling machines to have. Putting them into cold storage is silly.

tornwulf • 11/26/2012

We don't refrigerate our eggs. We get them fresh from the hens each day and clean them before storing them in a basket on the kitchen counter. And so far no one has been sick because of them.

But I was told that the ones from the store will go bad if left out for very long and boiled eggs will go bad if left out for just a few hours.

Iamar the Wolf • 11/27/2012

WTH??! Americans use fridges to prolong their eggs? good grief, they last for a month out in room temp. when they temp drops here in UK its a hell'uva lot longer than a month.... good on 'im nicking the hot plate though, I used to pinch the bunsun burner
