skillet incubator

[rufus]

So the skillet incubator was a bust. The one we used about 40 years ago was brand named "Presto" I believe. That was way before teflon, so it was bare aluminum. It was also before all of the electronic controls were put on the skillets.

We used duck eggs rather than chicken.

My mother used to say that they used to incubate eggs in a manure pile. Has anyone ever heard of that?

I have heard of incubating in manure piles, but I think it was more like a brick oven, and they put the eggs on wire racks above the manure. If an egg sits in wet, and warm place for too long, it will rot.

Well, this is Arizona and everything is hot and dry. Maybe it would work here.
