How to preserve Farm Fresh Country Eggs for up to 9 months

Maybe a neat idea but for me i think I will pass. Spoiled eggs can and would be life threatening, not worth the unnecessary risk for me. Russian roulette with eggs.

Interesting video and method, which sounds very effective.

My concern would be having slaked lime (which indeed is "pickling lime") around children or handling it too much, or breathing it.

It is a known caustic material and can cause lung, skin, and eye irritation...severe in prolonged exposure.

Good reminder. That said, lots of things are caustic and we use them every day. The washing soda I use to make my laundry detergent comes comes to mind. For that matter, lemon juice could cause lung, skin, and eye irritation. Indeed... I got chemical burns on one hand last year just from harvesting my walnuts.

The point is the eggs don't spoil. But if they DID (which they don't) you'd smell it when you crack the eggs.
