James Martin says scrambled eggs won’t taste nice if you make one mistake: ‘Never do this’

You may think you know all there is to know about making the perfect scrambled but turns out there is one common mistake that most of us all make.

On This Morning, British chef and TV presenter, shared the suprising mistake we are probably all making when it comes to scrambled eggs — putting in the fridge.

In the UK, eggs aren’t actually stored in the fridge in supermarkets, yet we always put them straight in the fridge when we get back home.

While making a Victoria Sponge cake on This Morning, James Martin said: “All eggs are porous.

“That’s why you never put eggs in the fridge.

“They absorb all the flavours in the fridge.”

Martin claims eggs should be kept out of the fridge because their porous shells tend to soak up unwanted smells.

However, be sure to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, as they need to stay below 20°C to stay fresh and safe to consume.

Refrigerating eggs can help them last longer and the British egg safety authority advises keeping them in the fridge.

Once eggs are purchased and taken home, they may have been exposed to fluctuating temperatures, which is why refrigerating them can help maintain freshness and safety.

Harmful bacteria can survive both on the shell and inside raw eggs, and they can also be dangerous for individuals with food allergies, which is why the stresses the importance of handling eggs carefully to prevent any potential risks.

The UK Food Standards Agency says: “Store raw eggs in the fridge below or separately to ready-to-eat food until you use them. Storing eggs at a constant cool temperature will help to keep them.

“Use eggs within the ‘best before’ date. You can freeze them for use later if required.

“Make sure you rotate stock and use the oldest eggs first.”
