Favorite ways to preserve eggs?

[sheknitsandcrochets]

Hey everyone! We're raising a lot of chicks, and so will soon be getting a lot of eggs!

We will of coarse be cooking some fresh eggs, but we'll be getting way more than we can immediately eat. So we're going to be finding ways to preserve eggs.

I'm curious what some of your favorite ways to preserve eggs are?

Thanks for your time,

I'm freezing mine. I beat up 1 dozen eggs in a glass measuring pitcher and divide the eggs amongst 12 silicone cupcake liners in a cupcake pan. After freezing they pop out of the liners easily.

After freezing, I am vaccuum sealing them, a dozen to each package. This makes them nice and compact for storage and they should keep better also.

If you try this, vacuum seal the portions 1 layer thick in the bag and alternate them right side up and upside down so the package will come out flat. When I did them all right side up, the package came out dome shaped because the portions are wider on the top than on the bottom, like a cupcake is.

When we say "scramble" we mean mix them up. Beat em, whip em. They are still raw. Perfect to eat scrambled or used for baking.
Ever wonder what happens to all the misshaped, pointy, super sized,odd colored, double yolk or tiny pullet eggs from factory farms? They are cracked, mixed up, strained, frozen then sent to bakeries and restaurants to make the job easier.

I plan to try waterglassing this summer.

Definitely scramble them before you freeze them. I made the mistake of freezing goose eggs just cracked to get them out of the way. They were gelatinous goo with a leathery yolk that just floated on the top of the batter..

I preserve them by scrambling them and eating them.

My favorite by far is thermostabilisation.

I haven't tried it but a lady at my church coats them in mineral oil. Apparently they keep for a few months that way.

I used to freeze them but will be trying lime water this go around.

Freezing. Simple and no skill required. Only draw back is I'm an over easy girl. Tons of baking in the winter.
