Dented but Not Broken: Is That Egg Still Fridge-Worthy?

There's nothing quite like the morning egg hunt, until you spot a dent in one of your girl's deliveries. This reader's asking the cluck-tastic question we've all pondered: if the shell's got a dent but no puncture, is it still fridge-worthy? Honestly, that's a fair bit of fowl play from Mother Nature. The good news? A dent without a crack usually means the membrane's still doing its job, so you're likely safe to store it. But I'd give it the sniff test before scrambling. Eggs are resilient little things, much like our feathered friends themselves.
