I check for cracked eggs, not worried about getting a rotten egg , but if it is cracked and what seeps out dries, you not get that egg out without breaking it, or removing all the other eggs and soaking the carton in warm water.
Soaking is not bad if it is a styrofoam container but it ruins paper ones which I save for my cousins farm eggs; do not like styrofoam just because I do not like them.
Can any of you do the one hand egg break and pour into pan most of the TV cooks can do?
I cannot do that; with store eggs I smash the shell too hard and get shell pieces in batter; with farm eggs hard shells, I have to hit them so hard the shell breaks the yoke which I loathe for frying sunny side up.
