On: Why the U.S. Chills Its Eggs and Most of the World...

But at Coles, they're not sold in refrigerated sections. At least the ones I've been to in Melbourne.

Bought free range eggs at Coles yesterday. I still put them in the fridge when I get home out of habit; not sure why now. :)

I stopped refrigerating eggs, when i found out I can make better fried eggs if they're at room temperature. :)

"if you keep your eggs in the fridge, then you should let them come to room temperature before cooking – if you start with a cold egg, then you're more likely to end up overcooking the yolk trying to get the white to set."

Huh. Now here's news I can use!

Ah. Thanks! That explains so many failed fried eggs.. :)

I'm in Queensland. At the Coles I go to, they are definitely refrigerated. I have been to NSW ones where they aren't. Maybe in Queensland it is policy. That seems plausible.

I live on NSW Central Coast. Woolworths at Gosford has them in the fridge; five minutes down the road at Coles Wyoming, they are not refrigerated.

Perhaps because it’s hotter in Queensland
