Are you neurotic (like me) with eggs in the egg cartons?

Based on a previous neurotic discussion around microwaves: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...icrowave/page3

Are you neurotic like me with eggs in an egg carton?

Before (perfectly balanced)

After (perfectly balanced)


Don’t ask me about odd counts of eggs! 😱

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

lol nope, work from one end to the other here

[scottranda]

What’s wrong with you??? 😱

[jfmorris]

Same here!

[Elton's BBQ]

Yes indeed.. I'm enfrocing the metric way to grab eggs.. One end to the other..

[FireMan]

Boy, that is sum kind o’ neurotic. I mean, ya get eggs from a guy named Pete & then there is a Gerry involved. You are in my prayers!

Look at yer hat, that says it all!

[Steve B]

Don't go and get him all fired up now.

[scottranda]

Those eggs are the only commercial eggs that don’t mess up my stomach. Expensive though 😬

[Jfrosty27]

Yup. Absolutely. Must have balance!

Yep, I do that. I thought everyone did that.... :^)

[scottranda]

You’d think!?!?!?

[ecowper]

You should try having this compulsion when you have your own chickens and each one lays a different size and color!

[scottranda]

Someday I want my own chickens!

[Jerod Broussard]

I like it "balanced" aesthetically for actual balance. I do like symmetry but not into the OCD Realm.

[Draznnl]

"but not into the OCD Realm" - J. Broussard

or so you like to think.

[scottranda]

Balance is my main motiv. I swear I’m not neurotic despite my posts.

[Donw]

Scott, soon there will be some people at your door wearing white. Please let them in because they are there to help.🙂

[scottranda]

They keep talking about this jacket I have to wear. Not sure how I feel.

[STEbbq]

I grab eggs randomly mostly from end to end.

I have never heard of egg sensitive folks though. What is it about these eggs that help you?

Also, the natural follow up you must have been expecting: how do you microwave them?

[tamidw]

When I eat store bought eggs my tummy tends to get pretty upset at me with an hour or two. But when I eat my farm fresh eggs from our chickens my tummy doesn’t get upset. I think it’s because store bought eggs get the protective layer taken off shells and cleaned. Who knows what they clean them with.

[scottranda]

About an hour later, stomach hurts. I think it’s the feed they feed the chickens. Not sure.

These eggs don’t do it to me, but I pay for em!

[IowaGirl]

I like to put the egg carton into the fridge so the heavy end of the carton will end up in my hand when I take the carton back out again. The only point to this is reducing the chance of the carton breaking or falling out of my hand.

I think egg cartons, especially plastic ones, are getting thinner and more floppy all the time. That's good for reducing waste, but not so good for staying in one piece.

But other than the need to balance the load for safety, s'all good.

[scottranda]

Try my method. It doesn’t matter which way you put it in the fridge. 😃 6 eggs one way, 1/2 dozen to the other!

[texastweeter]

I have reusable hard plastic egg cartons for the eggs I refrigerate. Most stay room temp (yard eggs)

[crazytown3]

I do the same method; empty from one end to the other, and the light end goes into the refrigerator first, with the heavy end facing out so I grab it first.

[pkadare]

I don't have OCD, I have CDO. It is like OCD but in alphabetical order as it should be.

[scottranda]

That made me giggle. I’m going to use it.

[Skip]

Ha ha ha! A good one! Like it should be.

[au4stree]

You’re like a Jedi Master or something. 🙌🏻

[MBMorgan]

That's just crazy. You should always use eggs from one end of the carton to the other ... being careful to keep the heavy end closest to the front of the refrigerator shelf. That way, you'll always minimize the moment arm of the carton as its CG shifts with use.

... I just wish SWMBO would just follow the rule.

[scottranda]

Or just balance the egg weight distribution! No need to remember which way to put it in!

[Jerod Broussard]

Draznnl HA! I checked and apparently the 18's balance better than the 12's.....take that buddy!!

[Jerod Broussard]

scottranda send me an application, I'll make sure it passes the initial screening

[Troutman]

Better watch it this may give him a complex

[au4stree]

😯 some people just wanna watch the world burn.

[shify]

Never really thought about it so decided to check. Appears the family follows the haphazard approach to using eggs from the carton

[Jerod Broussard]

I try to stay away from "too pretty" since I'm sure there is some marketing upcharge.

[crazytown3]

Just on principle, I cannot 'like' your post. That is complete madness and anarchy.

[Richard Chrz]

Looks like your chickens have some sort of hemorrhoid stamping issue.

[Mosca]

I randomize them on purpose because it messes with Mrs Mosca. If I open them and she’s organized them, they will not be organized the next time.

[tbob4]

Hahahahahaha. My wife has a plastic egg container. I just grab and she will come in behind me and rearrange.

[scottranda]

That’s just wrong. I would document it for the proceedings.
