Eggs are one of life's most basic and indispensable ingredients, ideal for picnics, breakfast, lunch and dinner but also super in sandwiches as well as cakes, desserts and sauces. Fresh eggs are always best and an easy test is to place an uncooked egg in a bowl of cold water; if it sinks it's fresh and if it floats, don't use it.
