Best Answer

You can judge the age and health of the egg by dropping it in a body of water. A fresh egg will sink and lie flat on the bottom of the glass, slightly older will bob a little bit, still older will stand on the end and a rotten egg will float on the surface! Fresh eggs' shells are rough and chalky while old eggs' shells are smooth and shiny.

Bring to boil means just wait for the water to start bubbling, then turn the heat down to let it simmer. Simmering is still boiling, but it isn't at as high of a temperature, so when the water starts boiling then turn it down to let it simmer, there is no need to keep it on high heat for any longer than it takes to make the water start boiling.
