You know Europeans don’t refrigerate their eggs, right?

You guys are so precious.

PP let us all know where in the DMV we can find a store selling non-washed eggs, and we'll be sure to do this.

The same place we get our raw milk 😉😉

Why would you throw them away? That makes no sense.

Who are all the people posting it is fine to not refrigerate eggs in the United States>

It is MANDATORY for commercial egg growers in the United States to washed and sanitize eggs.

By doing that it removes the egg's natural protective layer (called the cuticle) so that makes refrigeration necessary in the US to prevent bacterial growth.

In Europe, eggs are not washed, allowing the natural cuticle to remain intact, which protects the egg from bacteria. Consequently, eggs can be sold and stored at room temperature

I would keep them for 2-3 days, and then toss what I hadn't used.

There is zero rationale behind my response.

Eggs in the vehicle is a different situation than eggs sitting out exposed to the open air. I keep a jug of water for the dog park in my car and it has to get colder than 30 for the water to end up freezing. The carton is also going to provide a little insulation. Just try cracking an egg. If you're seeing a significant amount of freezing, you can still use them immediately. If you can't use them all up right now you can simply freeze all of them. If you can't separate yolks and whites, just whisk them and freeze in ice cube trays. You can use them later as long as you use them right away when thawed, for anything you would use beaten eggs for. If you can separate them (even with some ice crystals) you can freeze them separately.
