How to tell if eggs are fresh

Step 2

Now, if eggs are cracked, the fresh egg has a fatty yolk and a gelatinous ring of white surrounding the yolk and another ring of white. When it is not so fresh, the yolk in the center seems slightly flat, the double ring is not as visible and the egg white is watery. When the egg is stale, the yolk is very flat and the white is just watery.
