Hot Italian Sausage

Preheat over to 425 degrees.
put sausages in a roasting pan and put in oven to cook out excess fat.

it won't go bad as soon as the date is up. eggs last a long time. keep them in the fridge and they should be good for another week or two.

Wow, I've never thought about eggs expiring. I'd had eggs that I know have been in the fridge for 3 months, yet eaten them, and been fine. :shocked:

Dude, eggs take FOREVER to expire. You can use eggs a month after "sell by" and they'll be fine.

The egg will continue to be fresh for at least another 2-3 weeks if it has been refrigerated from the time packed until used at 45 degrees F. or lower. As the egg ages, it does lose some of its qualities, so if you were baking a cake or whipping meringue, your cake might not rise as high as expected, and you might not get the volume of meringue you would expect, so for baking purposes it is better to use a fresher egg.

Older eggs are great to use when hard-cooking (boiled) as they will peel easier. They will keep for about a week in the shell, 2-3 weeks if peeled and placed in a freezer bag.

When frying an older egg, it will spread out further in the pan, as the white (albumen) gets thinner. When fresh, the yolk will stand high and the white will stay close to the yolk in your pan. Nothing wrong with cooking the older egg, it just doesn't look as nice.

The term "rotten egg" seldom occurs today, thanks to refrigeration. The interior of the egg will probably evaporate before it becomes "rotten". We have seen eggs several months old still very usable, but could not recommend you that you do this!




Your fridge should be colder than 45F anyway.

Or just hard boil them, then pickle them.

I buy those HUGE jars of dill pickles that are enormous but cost less than $4 in season. I take the whole pickles therein and slice them and transfer them to more normal sized jars for the refrigerator, saving perhaps BILLIONS . . . of piasters.

Since I LOVE pickled eggs, a fast disappearing bar staple, I boil a bunch, shock and peel them, and use the left-over pickle juice to pickle them in.

YUM! :laugh:

what a great idea. do you just leave the eggs in the pickle juice indefinitely then until you wanna eat em? i love hardboiled eggs but ive never had a pickled one.

Dude, you just gave me a seriously great idea! How long do they need to be pickled in the juice, before you notice the effect? :)

you can safely eat them a week or maybe even two after that date.

What the problem ? Just pust some in a pan, make omelettes w/ some chopped veggies...or pancakes...flour, eggs, etc..etc..

Wow! I just figured out what I'm having for dinner.

I've got some, yes, you guessed it, eggs.

I've also got this awsome, meaty bacon, that looks to be about a quarter inch thick. Gonna make me some pancakes, bacon, and eggs. :)

The best answer is: The longer the better. But, you can start eating them anytime, really, it's just that the longer they pickle, the stronger and better the 'pickle' taste.

And, yes, hungfarover, you leave them in the pickle juice "forever" -- the longer the better for that pickled taste. Keep the jar in the fridge and they'll probably almost never go bad.

Christ, in the dingy bars I used to frequent, who knew how long that jar of pickled eggs had been there? :shocked:
