I think I'm going to do this with eggs this winter. Don't know if this is the right section to post this.

AND
Properly stored, they last ~25/30 years!!!
My Harvest Right Freeze Dryer has been one of our -best- investments
(No, not on the sales team lol)

My sister has one of those. I’ve looked at them, but just can’t justify the cost. I keep entering their drawing, hoping I’ll win one…

I'm going to dehydrate

How do you dehydrate eggs?

 

[aart]

Yes, I am. But it's an ATU (aerobic treatment unit) so it could easily handle the load with only me living here. It is capable of handling waste for a family of 4.

Still, I can't imagine 286 eggs in one day equal waste(the normal kind) for a family of 4.
Guess I'm just ingrained to not put anything but my own body waste down thru the septic.

We bought our used. You may be able to find a great deal from someone who just doesn't use it enough. I used to enter the drawings too.
I have the medium unit and I can freeze dry 6 dozen eggs at a time.

Do you have a standard leach field or an ATU?

Standard.

I've done it.
Two winters in a row.
I lost half my eggs both winters.
I lost 268 eggs total. 268!!

This year I'm going to dehydrate and freeze my winter eggs.

I am going to run a cooking experiment soon to see how the dehydrated eggs compare to fresh in my frittata. I've read that scrambling to eat is a no go but the difference between fresh and reconstituted dried eggs in baking is not noticable.

check this out: this is how they did it in the old days I think it was on the 2nd page..

I bought a dehydrator.

Standard.

The air injection in an ATU makes a HUGE difference.

I know how to glass. I only had a 50% success rate. I don't think it's worth the loss.

I'm interested in the time, temp, process, yield, etc. Mine only has two trays that would be appropriate.
