I've heard of the little end and the big end, but which is the rounded
end?
One of the ends is more pointed than the other, that would be the little
end.

Adrienne Boswell said:According to Hormel <http://tinyurl.com/ayacz>:
Many refrigerators provide storage for eggs in special units
in the door, but this is not the ideal place for storing eggs because
the temperature fluctuates so much in the door when it is opened and
closed.
Toby A Inkster said:Mrs Beeton, who I regard as somewhat of an authority on most things
culinary, says that eggs should be stored in a cool, dry place. In
the UK, that describes pretty much anywhere indoors. (In contrast
with the outdoors, which is cold and wet most days.)
Hey! I'm a leftie, but Big Sam Kekovitch is my hero. I credit him withIt helps a lot if eggs are refrigerated over here. I have had so
many not altogether fresh ones from supermarkets for this very
reason. I twigged when I started buying eggs from the butchers!
(For you left wing, lettuce munchers, a butcher shop is always
cold)
Actually, the fridge door is a terrible place to keep your eggs becauseusenet200701 said:I tend to refrigerate them when I get home, but that's mostly because if I
put them in the cupboard something heavy could easily fall onto them. In
the fridge door, I don't have to worry about that.

they get shaken up each time the door is opened or closed.
The best place, given reasonable temperatures (ie; NOT the 45C I am
'enjoying' today) is in a bowl on the bench or in a cupboard.
But the door is mostly closed and when open, fairly briefly, so
this is not a particularly good and practical reason not to use
the door.

But you might be right about putting the googs in the fridge, and it's a
good idea to support your local butcher and green-grocer.

Eggs should be stored with the rounded end pointed up in order to
keep the air cell on top and to help keep the yolk centered in the
egg.
I've heard of the little end and the big end, but which is the

Correct, but which is the "rounded" end?
Eggs certainly come little-end-up in the box.
