Need some help with Balut.

[bantaclear]

My husband works with someone who has asked me if i would be interested in do Balut. He can also get me many more people who will by from me. Now i have no problems doing this as they pay 1.75 an egg from the place they get them from now. My question and problem is what do i do with them after the 18 days of incubation? Do I do them like a hard boiled egg? Do I just put them in the fridge? I tried to look this up but I get lost and confused cuz I can never seem to find a straight answer. Any help on this would be wonderful thank you.

I've never made Balut, but it sounds like you hard boil them.
Shelf life is 1 day, or refrigerated 1 week.

The people who buy them will do their own cooking. You take the egg out of the incubator and sell it at that point, raw.

The one thing I would *not* try when I visited the Philippines!

As Oregon Blues said, I'm pretty sure they just want to buy the 'raw' partially incubated eggs.

Old post! I am getting $35 a carton for Balut in 2016 now... 5 bucks a pc.
Close your eyes and it tastes like a really rich chicken broth. I buy rice husks, wrap them in it because it produces a slightly sweeter taste and remove from bater at 17 days because after that, bones too hard. Amazing the different in prices now!

I have a friend at work that I've sold balut to but I'm using chicken eggs instead of duck eggs.

$1.00/egg is what I get here in Md.
Are you using duck eggs

We use American White Ducks for Balut.
