Best Answer

If you put an egg in a pan a of water and it doesn't sink it is bad.

* When an egg is laid, it's warm. As it cools, an air sack forms at the large end between the two shell membranes. This air sack gets larger as the egg ages because the shell is porous. The 'egg float' test WILL tell you if an egg is old, but not if it is fresh. Eggs may not float for a month or more after being laid. Some cracked eggs may be found in a float test.

* Eggs can be 'bad' without being old. If you are unsure of your eggs, by all means, use the float test. But just before using them, it is safest to follow up by breaking your eggs separately into a small dish one at a time as well. If it smells and looks okay, you should be fine to go on to the next one. Yes, this opens the egg, but it only takes a second and is MUCH easier than remaking whatever you are cooking at the time. * Since the egg is now 'opened' you can see how big the air sack is. Smaller is better. Fresher whites are thcker/stiffer; they get more watery with age. Egg yolk color depends on the diet of the hen.

How do i tell my boyfriend to go to the dentist without making him feel bad?

Why would that make him feel bad, I would think that's a fact of life. Good hygeine! Tell him that you want him to keep his teeth good because good teeth mean less health problems and that your worried about him. Men love it when you worry about them and fuss over him. Tell him that if he keeps good grooming habits that you will do something for him in exchange. If you care about him do it, its not about hurting someone's feelings.
