    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 used to do this but I got burned once or twice, wound up with cracked eggs that hadn’t leaked enough to stick or hadn’t stuck, for whatever reason.

      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.
