    Thanks for redoing your post on the eggs as I really wanted to see the outcome. What was the control bacon?

    Turkey bacon from Costco. I didn't store the bacon at room temperature. I look forward to eating the rest of the eggs. I'm pretty impressed that my 1.5 month egg was better than the fridge egg. I mean, that is just a fluke, but it made an impression on me.

    Do you have a bacon recipe for how to cure, smoke times, etc?

    I'd also like to get ideas for a source for pork belly (is that what you use for bacon?).

    This egg experiment has me quite fascinated. After being taught all of my life that eggs need to be refrigerated to be kept fresh (but not for long, apparently), I'm amazed that an egg coated to prevent air entering the shell could possibly be edible 1.5 months later after sitting on the counter the whole time.

    This certainly changes things.

    I believe a large supply of mineral oil may be in order for my supply list.

    I'm offended this test did not include this "control bacon"

    Haha, perhaps it should have. My lab assistant (cat) suggested the control bacon at the last second.

    I'm surprised that not a single person has commented on the two easter eggs in the first video yet.

    When I was in New Zealand and Australia I noticed they did not have their eggs in the refrigerated sections in any of the markets. I don't know how long they stored them though & I didn't get sick eating them.

    The "Fresh" egg half floated again; while the "Old" egg sunk straight to the bottom and laid flat. Although, I just checked the date on the side of the carton in the fridge, and it says Apr 14, 12. So I guess they are a little old. Here are some pictures, video of the float test tomorrow.



    "Old" egg is the one on the top.


    "Old" egg is again on the top. I broke the yoke when I tried to flip it.

    In the What to watch next section at the end of your videos are "How to make homemade popsicles" and "Perfect French Macaroons" . . . a few more videos and Food Network might me calling.
