We were tired and annoyed, but it had to be done. So we were in the kitchen and we had the other ingredients we needed for the cookies in a bowl, and it was time for the egg. She had previously commented that something smelt like fish, and then she found a cracked egg amongst the rest, so we assumed it was that. By this stage, we were so tired and annoyed we'd forgotten to make these cookies, we wanted to get it over with, so I took another egg from the same batch as the cracked one and hurriedly cracked it open into the mixture: it was the worst mistake of my life. I had never before experienced such stench, never mind being so grossed out as to how the damn thing looked. It was so bad that my friend had to run to the toilet to vomit. I vowed to myself then and there that I will always, no matter what, crack the egg into a separate bowl before adding it to whatever I am cooking.

If it floats it is most likely rotten as rotten gases have built up inside the egg.</p> I seem to remember that to check for a rotten egg BEFORE cracking it open is to place in a bowl of water.

Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) always cracks her eggs separately to save the batter, but I always think it won't happen to me. I guess we all think that about bad things happening in our lives - "it will never happen to me." I wonder when my first rotten egg experience will happen?
