how long does it take for eggs to come to room temperature

It generally takes about 30 minutes for eggs to come to room temperature when left out on the counter. If eggs are left in the carton, it may take longer. For quicker methods, placing eggs in a bowl of warm water (not hot) can bring them to room temperature in 5 to 15 minutes. Running warm water over the eggs for 2-5 minutes is the fastest method. Room temperature for eggs is roughly 68 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 23 degrees Celsius). Eggs should not be left out at room temperature for longer than 2 hours for food safety reasons. This process helps with better mixing and baking results when recipes call for room temperature eggs.
