Whole eggs might burst when frozen.
Although some say that it is OK to freeze eggs, Murphy said don’t do it because the eggs may burst in the freezer.
“As things get cold, they contract. What happens to liquids as they contract and get cold – and as they reach the freezing point – they have this surge of expansion. Just as they hit the freezing point, they can explode,” said Murphy.
“That’s why you see when you put water in an ice tray, the cubes are bigger once they’ve frozen. That’s what happens to anything that is constructed inside of a product like an egg.”
