If you take the egg in question and spin it on a hard, flat surface; if it stays in one spot it is good. If it spins of center it has gone bad because the yolk becomes dense and makes it heavier on that side.

∙ 14y agoThis is a bit old fashioned but my Grandma taught me it. Basically, fill a bowl with water and add some salt. Put the egg into the bowl. If it floats it's bad and needs to be put in the bin! But if it sinks it's fresh!

Putting it in water can sometimes determine a good egg from a stale egg. A stale egg will float, while a fresh egg will sink.
If an egg has a strange texture to it while cooking, it can also mean that the egg is stale.

I actually think it's the other way around, if it floats it's rotten. This is because of an air pocket that forms just under the shell layer.
