An Egg Carton is a box of twelve raw eggs. It is opened into twelve loose Eggs, which are cooked or used in baking.
The carton weighs 1.0 and keeps for about two weeks. Cartons are the main way eggs turn up in the world. They are found in egg storage rooms, restaurant and shop fridges, and the kitchens of bakeries, diners and cafeterias. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Cooking
The Open Egg Carton recipe turns one carton into twelve Eggs. The loose eggs can then be cooked, added to evolved dishes, or used in cake batter, muffins, omelettes and cookies.
The Put Eggs in Carton recipe packs twelve loose eggs back into a carton. That makes a dozen eggs into a single item, which keeps the inventory tidy.

Storage
An Egg Carton stays fresh for 14 days and is fully rotten by day 21. These are the same counts as a loose Egg. A fridge slows both counts down, so cartons are best kept cold.
Locations
Egg Cartons are a common find in food places. Egg storage rooms always hold them, in fridges and other containers. Kitchen fridges in chicken restaurants, catfish restaurants, deep fry restaurants and Chinese restaurants hold them about a third of the time.
Gigamart and grocery store fridges carry them about a fifth of the time. Bakery, donut shop, cafeteria and diner fridges turn them up nearly as often. Gas stations and corner stores stock them now and then.
