Yesterday I left some eggs sitting on the counter for about 6 hours. :( Are they still good to use in a recipe for brownies? (They'll get heated to high temperatures, for about 45 minutes..)

they should be okay...however, if an egg has salmonella in it, having it above 45 deggers farenheit will make the salmonella active and make you sick if you eat it. Nearly all eggs are clear of salmonella, but if it is not, having it at room temperature will make it alive and it will make you sick.

There is actually no need to keep eggs in the fridge. In the UK very few people keep eggs in the fridge and no shops do either. As long as it smells OK there is no problem, and it is actually better to use eggs at room temperature in baking rather than from the fridge

Actually, all your baking will improve if you always use eggs that are at room temperature rather than chilled ones. You may never use another chilled egg in any recipe.

my opinion is that they're alright 2 use. Eggs are usually out 4 a while and still they're good. But, if ur still kinda shaky, get sum new eggs. I mean, why take the chance?

I think you shoudn't take a chance with those eggs... usually, when you leave something that's supposed to be refrigerated for too long outside, you'll get a stomachache or get sick... I suggest you dash to a nearby supermarket to get those eggs instead...
good luck!!!

i do not imagine you should apply them. The temp determination the position bacteria grows is extra or less from 40-one hundred and forty tiers and your eggs were in that determination countless the evening. Is it quite well worth the chance for $2 worth of eggs?

Eggs last 30 days or longer at room temp, unless they already contain high levels of bacteria.

as long as the eggs havent been out for 24 hours they should be fine...
i mean think about it when they arelaid they arent necessarily picked up right away they usually set for some time...
plus when you make angel food cake homemade it is best to let them set out...

Should be fine. In other countries (UK for instance) eggs are not usually refrigerated. I think that's mainly an American thing.
Good luck!

I'd skip it. Why risk it? Also sitting out may have caused them to develop some off flavors besides the obvious risk of going bad.
