As I've said in a previous post I decided to freeze some eggs to see what effect the freezing has on them and the quality. I picked 2 fresh eggs and 2 older ones that were sitting on the counter for about 2-3 weeks. The results are in:
After a day in the freezer they looked like this (oops, think my freezer may be a bit too cold):
I thawed them slowly overnight. Surprisingly they didn't make a mess:
I opened them to see what they look like inside:
And had them for breakfast:
Conclusion: I think my freezer may have been a bit too cold, hence the cracked shells, so I would suggest freezing them in a container. The whites after thawing them were a bit runny, like an older egg's. I didn't see a difference between the fresh laid eggs and the older eggs after thawing. Their quality turned out to be identical. After frying them I found they tasted a bit watery, but otherwise they were completely fine. So, for those of you who get frozen eggs: you don't have to throw them away. They are perfectly fine to eat.
