Store eggs in their carton inside the fridge, not loose in the door if you can avoid it. The carton helps protect them and reduces odor absorption.
Do not use cracked eggs unless they cracked during cooking prep and were handled immediately. Cracks can let bacteria in.
If an egg smells bad after cracking, throw it away. For older eggs, use fully cooked recipes instead of raw or runny preparations.
Eggs can last a while in the fridge, but cold storage and common sense checks still matter.
