Break the egg, preferably on a flat plate so as not to damage the yolk, and look at it, if the yolk is convex and dense, and the white holds well around the yolk and is viscous, then this egg is fresh.

But if the egg has spread over the plate, the white is runny in consistency, and the yolk is not convex, then the egg is old.
