Does anyone have any experience with this technique? A friend showed me on online article that says applying butter to the shells of warm, freshly laid eggs -- which it says is an ancient Irish method -- helps solidify the shell, protects the inside stuff and imparts a bit of buttery flavor.
The article goes on to say this method can preserve the eggs for six months and that buttered eggs are available at some Irish markets.
