Has anyone ever used KePeg Egg Preserver?

I have been using kepeg since I was 13 years old and am almost seventy now. This stuff has never failed me yet.. Prior to coating, your eggs should be dry, unwashed and at least one day old but no longer than one week, and store them in a reasonably cool place...Regards..Roger

Nice to have the voice of experience! I've not heard of it, myself, but would be willing to look into it. How long have you had eggs stay reasonably fresh? Any decline in taste or overall quality? Do they still fry up nicely?

KePeg will keep your fresh eggs fresh for a year without refrigeration. KePeg is a completely natural product that was developed in New Zealand during the Great Depression in the 30's by a local chemist by the name of G. J. Penny (no relation to J.C.). You simply apply a solid coat over the egg shell which seals the pores and keeps the oxygen from penetrating the shell. You can then store them in a cool, dark and dry place for up to one year. KePeg has been tested in a research laboratory in Queensland, Australia with the results being that KePeg kept the eggs fresh for over 12 months - the test continues and the record has been three years. With the help of an Australian manufacturing company, KePeg is being packaged under strict hygienic conditions. KePeg comes in a 40 gram jar (about 1.5 oz.).

Wonders what this stuff really is and if the manufacturer has a website where the ingredients are listed?
Quick google search didn't turn much up.

I have been using Ke-Peg for a few months now (after checking with a few grannys I know) . I consulted with a few ladies I know who had reason to use this product years ago in the 30's and they all said that it should work. Much to my surprise it does work and none of my egg customers have had any bad experiences either. I sell my eggs as 100 % organic and wanted to make sure that this product would pass muster. It works wonderfully and I have had no issues baking with the eggs.

Hello, I'm not here to advertise, however you spelled our name wrong and therefore the link is broken. Our correct spelling is www.EggCartons.com and you can search for KePeg on the site. Thanks!

Sorry to dig up this old thread. I'm wondering if I should get some of this for winter when I get zero eggs. What happens to the shell after coating? Is this stuff visible on the shell after it dries? Does the egg crack differently when you do go to use if for breakfast or baking? Can it be used with the same results on duck and quail eggs?

I'd love to see any photos of it in use and on the eggs!

Your website doesn't yield any results when searched

Interesting! I wonder if it really works? Maybe someone will chime in..

Kepeg works fine. Your eggs will keep for at least a year. I've been using this for years. The jar is very small but it will last you a very long time. All you need to do is put a little in the palm of your hands and roll your eggs between them. You only need to grease the surface very lightly. It has been around for many years...https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/91446545/7461559

I know I am curious too. But with this(BYC) being the 'chicken world' I would think I would have heard about this before.

Yes it really does work and my wife put down 90 dozen eggs one year when the chooks went mad - they last ages and are perfect for baking, scrambling etc as they look a little flat in the frying pan - you could probably achieve the same result with wool fat or Vaseline - from an old cockie in W.Australian wheatbelt
