  How to Keep  
Always keep Eggs in their carton, the carton protects the eggs and prevent them from absorbing strong odours and flavour of other foods in your fridge through the thousands of tiny pores in the egg shell.
Leftover raw egg whites and yolk should be put in airthight containers and stored in the refrigerator immediately. To prevent yolks from drying out, cover them with a little cold water. Drain the water before using.
