I'm curious.... which do you do when you crack an egg from the carton

I plant the shells in my garden, I'm hoping to grow a chicken. It hasn't worked yet but I'll never give up, I'm no quitter.

Throw them in the bin. Why would anyone put them back in the carton? We recycle our egg cartons.

Toss them, as I reuse my cartons for my hens eggs.

I put them on paper towels and when In finished I carry them out to the compost bin. They great make soil for later

I thought you meant a cracked egg when you got the carton home. Why would you put the cracked shell back in the carton? WTF????? 🤣

Shells and cardboard box in my compost bin The wiggley worms love them

I put them back in the carton because it’s right next to the pan, then I carry the carton over to the trash and discard the shells to avoid a drippy mess .

I toss them unless I am finishing up the carton and then I will toss the whole mess in the trash.

I put them in the trash. Now If I was going to use all of those eggs making breakfast for others I would put the shells back in the carton before throwing it all in the trash. I have done that. But those eggshells are good in compost bins and are good if you bake or boil them a little and put them in chicken food, they help build new eggshells for the eggs they lay.

Is there no cook option?

They usually end up on the counter unless I'm going to use the rest of the carton. If I didn't have dogs and need a lid, or kept my trash can closer, I'd go straight for the trash.

We feed them back to the chickens. They love them.

Since we don't buy eggs at the grocery store, we make the cartons last as long as possible.

place them in front when unpacking them in the fridge to use first
unless it is a deep crack and liquid spilled out -toss with carton in bin

I always take them from the carton before cracking, but if you mean opening the carton and finding an egg cracked already, I toss it.

I only put them back in the carton to keep the shells until I've cracked all the eggs I'm going to, then they go off to the Insinkerator.

I’m a tosser. ☺️

Wait. Isn’t that an insult in Britain? 😒

I toss them, but now since @FreeSpirit1 admits to being a failure at growing new chickens, I am going to plant them and show her up!

Good for the compose pile, or directly in the garden

i use them. i put them in a bowl, cover them and make sure to use them in something. i try to not waste anything

I just toss them out. That looks like a scene from Ghostbusters . 👻

Never put them back in carton cross contamination

i do like rocky... put it in a glass and drink it. ok, not really.

Sometimes toss, Sometimes carton. Im soooo confused

I toss them unless I am planting seeds.

I toss them as well

Straight in the sink and devoured by the disposal

i recycle the containers

I have a small odorless composting can in the kitchen, with biodegradable bags. When a bag is full, I take it to the composting collection can outside my garage, and on collection day, I put the recyclables/compost/garbage bin to the curb, where they get picked up.

Straight in the composter

The put back into the carton thing is just an interim step prior to tossing into the trash can that's not near the stove or countertop.
The carton here never leaves the fridge until it's empty.

I don't doubt that people put them back in the carton, but WHY? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Always toss them

compost... great calcium

Toss always

I put them in a bowl which I use to collect food waste and then into the food was bin

If I had my way the whole damn carton would go in the compost.

Toss them in..,
my compost can in my under sink cabinet.

Straight into the compost

I’ve always tossed them.

I toss it

disposal

I separate the bio rubbish with the paper rubbish
Thats Germany for you lol, plus plastic bottles and drinks cans have 25 euro cents return value.

I toss the shells in the garbage. I don’t know anyone who puts them back in the carton. That’s odd.

I toss them unless I will be using the rest them I put them in the carton and throw away the whole thing
