Freezing Eggs?

[Mamachic1967]

Has anyone ever tried freezing eggs? I've done some research but wanted to get some feedback.

Thanks

They're easy to freeze. Crack, beat then portion into large ice cube trays. Pop them out into a Ziploc bag. One cube will be about a medium egg. They are best for baking. The texture gets a little rubbery but nothing a little cheese and salsa won't take care of.

Thank you! How are they in baked goods? Is there certain precautions you use to avoid concern of salmonella?

Do you have concerns of salmonella in your fresh eggs? No different with them frozen. You would have to pasteurize them to eliminate the risk completely. Frozen eggs are a better product used in baked goods and are pretty much exclusively used in commercial baking. (Convenience and cost)

I'm not concerned of salmonella, but its mentionned so often in store bought eggs, I thought it would be the same with farm fresh eggs. I will try freezing some, that's great as my eggs are getting ahead of me. Thanks!
