Question

How long are hot dogs good for in the fridge unopened? And are eggs okay after the expiration date?

Answer 1

The hot dogs I can't give you an informed answer but the eggs are good for up to 4 weeks beyond the expiration date....this is a FACT. I know it sounds counter-intuitive but it's true. If you are still unsure place eggs in a glass of water if they sink they are good if they float, toss em.

Answer 2

There should be a date on the package of hot dogs.

Raw eggs are good for at least two - three weeks. If there is a "sale by date" on your egg carton I would use them as soon as possible after that date. Believe me, you will be able to tell if an egg has gone bad, just crack it a little and take a whiff. It will reek if it's gone bad. Often the yolk has also "collapsed"...isn't a plump little pillow shape any more.

Answer 3

To check for bad eggs put them in a bowl of water. Watch carefully for eggs that float instead of sink. The reason bad eggs float is because they're full of air.
