Who stores eggs in the fridge (UK)? (lemmy.world)

I’ve just bought a new fridge and it comes with a section to hold eggs. I’ve never stored them in the fridge since salmonella isn’t really a problem here because our chickens are vaccinated. Does anybody in the UK actually refrigerate their eggs?

As an aside, I tend to decide what goes into the fridge based on where it was in the supermarket. If they don’t refrigerate it, neither do I. So for eggs, I don’t.

Secondary question - what am I gonna use the egg holder in the fridge for now, other than maybe briefly cooling my balls?

in the US the eggs are washed so that they won't last as long if not refrigerated. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/09/11/336330502/why-the-u-s-chills-its-eggs-and-most-of-the-world-doesnt

Yeah I know, that’s why I was focusing on UK egg-fanciers.

yeah but your talking an appliance which is not necessarily just produced for the UK.

It’s what’s going in the appliance I’m asking about, not the appliance itself.

Hubert, did your mummy not tell you not to be so argumentative?

I apologize. I truly was just trying to explain the likely reason his fridge had an egg holder. My bad apparently. I actually felt I was helping in my commentary but sorry as I apparently missinterpreted the post as being about why a fridge has an egg container.
