While it is very difficult to differentiate between fake and real chicken eggs, here are a few tips to do a fast check:
---
1. To start with, the shell of fake eggs are shinier than real ones.
---
2. Feel the outer shell. Fake eggs will be rougher than real eggs.
---
3. Shake the egg before breaking it. If you hear some noises inside the shell (water overflowing), then it is a fake one.
---
4. Tap the egg lightly enough not to break it. The sound will be more crisp if the egg is real.
---
5. If the egg is fake, unlike real ones, the egg yolk and white will mix together as soon as you break it and pour on a pan as both are made of the same substance.
---
6. Real eggs have a raw smell while fake eggs are odourless.
---
7. Know that you are frying a fake egg if the yolk spreads without you touching it.
---
8. Put the shell in fire. If the egg is fake, the shell will catch fire or start melting with a plastic-like odour coming out of it.
