Keep or throw away? I had just bought these and they were cage free organic eggs.

I have read so much on both sides of this. Some say they are fine and others say to dispose of them. What would you do?

I would use them. Especially if they have not been washed. Eggs used to be fine sitting out, until they started washing them to make them look nice--then they took off the coating. But even still, 10 hours isn't going to hurt as long as you cook them later.

If they were stored at room temperature when you bought them, they'll still be perfectly fine.

If they had been previously refrigerated, they should still be fine but should be used within a day or two.

Use 'em. They're fine.

When I bought eggs in Mexico, they were always just sitting out on a counter. I never had room in the fridge (usually about 3 dozen eggs because I was making breakfast for 20+ teenagers), so I just left them out on the kitchen table. I usually used them within a few days, but who knows how long they'd been sitting in the store before I bought them. No one ever got sick or died from my cooking... or at least, not from the eggs
