    I learned a quick tip from an old lady many years ago. Open the carton and use your first finger just to tip (slide) each egg a bit so you know it is not stuck to the bottom of carton. Quick and easy.

      I just look at the bottom of a closed carton first - if there’s a crack it is rare that it didn’t leak

          I have never seen anything other than carton boxes for eggs here in Norway. This comment actually baffled me that they came in anything other somewhere.

            Ours come in a clear plastic vacuum formed container, compressed paper carton, or Styrofoam, depending on the brand.

              That’s just fucked up. Clear plastic seems like the worst possible container as it gives little or no protection, and is obviously plastic which the world only needs less of.

            Same here in Sweden, there are som variations on what kind of carton boxes but never seen any plastic or styrofoam.
