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?

There are quite a few items that are fine to store unrefrigerated until opened, but need to stay cold afterwards. Jam comes to mind.

This is true, an egg won't last long unrefrigerated after its opened ;)

Yeah that doesn’t really apply to eggs though, their “container” is unopened. Otherwise your fridge will get messy.

But yeah, obviously I’m gonna put stuff in the fridge that would go off once the seal has been broken.
