The star explained that the eggs end up 'absorbing all the flavours from the fridge' due to the texture of the shell.

James has previously shared his opinions about cooking with fans and recently said margarine should be banned.
The TV chef joked he hates it so much that he wants it taken off supermarket shelves for good.

“I’m a farmer’s kid. We’ve always had full-fat milk, butter, and cream. And that’s what we had. There wasn’t such a thing as semi-skimmed milk in our house.”
