This is a real thing I do. It feels weird if the weight of the carton isn’t evenly balanced when I take it from the fridge.
That’s just smart for balance reasons.
Yep! Nothing worse than picking up an unbalanced carton of eggs and having it tip over only to dump all the eggs on the floor! Splat!
Always take the ones from the corners first, keeping it balanced, avoids catastrophic breaks if dropped.
I prefer to take the eggs from one side and put the “empty/light” side into the back of the fridge so every time I grab it it’s closer to the center of balance.
If I placed the carton into the fridge with the long edge to the back… Not sure what I’d do. Never occurred for me to put it in that way.
Not every time, but I have used another egg to keep the carton balanced
Which egg does he take next
I would take middle left. Or maybe rearrange
I’d take the two middle to keep the weight even on the ends.
I should get that diagnosis.

It’s safer for them to be balanced. I do this too.
Why have I not thought of this before, it is brilliant.
