Egg storage plate

Egg storage plate having a base surface (02), an egg contact surface (01) and at least one outer peripheral surface (03) extending between the base surface (02) and the egg contact surface (01), characterized in that:

• the egg contact surface (01) has a track (07) which extends from a high point (08) to a low point (09), the high point (08) being spaced farthest and the low point (09) being spaced least from the base surface (02) in the direction of the surface normal of the base surface (02);
• the track (07) runs between the high point (08) and the low point (09) with a gradient without points of discontinuity and without reversal points;
• the track (07) has a curvature such that the centerline (14) of the track (07) in projection onto the base surface (02) is not radially offset at the high point (08) or is offset by no more than half of a track width relative to the low point (09);
• the track (07) is substantially convex in cross-section and the track width corresponds to between 80% and 120% of the longitudinal extent of an average egg (11) to be stored.
