THE "WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL THESE EGGS" CHAT THREAD!

Don't worry wynn4578, your not late!

Thanks for the advice!
I am learning a LOT of new things today!
Powdering? Pretty neat!

Here's the only eggs I thought existed:

Scrambled, Deviled, Hard Boiled, Poached, Fried and Egg Salad! lol!

Nice thing about powdering them is under the right conditions they will last for years. I'm not a prepper but if I were I would be powdering eggs every chance I got. Where else do you find that kind of nutrition and protein packed in such a tiny container.
 
Yes, it is good idea! I never thought of that, BTW, what would be the things to "powder' 'em with? I am not a preper yet (The way this world is going, I don't know!), but I would too!

Have an - EGGCELENT day!

http://tacticalintelligence.net/blog/how-to-make-powdered-eggs.htm. This is a post of all things from a prepper site (speaking of. Lol) in the article the author discusses 2 methods for powdering eggs. Like myself he seems to prefer the wet (he may call it something different) method. I didn't read the whole thing just skimmed it but it looks like it covers the process pretty well.
 
Well I got here too late. I was going to suggest powdering them. there is quite a bit of info out there for powdering your own eggs. The 2 I know of is pre scrambling and dehydrating raw. I prefer the latter as the prescramblimg method tends to make them taste a little stale. I read that the prescrambling method is no good if you want to use them in recipes later as well because they don't fluff. But dehydrating raw then you can add water and cook them scrambled or use in a recipe. The down side to raw is it just ales a lot longer to dehydrate them. Probably about 8 to 12 hours compared to about 3 or 4 hours if you scramble them first.
Definitely not too late. I think you are just at the right time. :)
Okay, thanks Wickedchicken6,

Wow, raw eggs.

You sound like you have a big collection of chickens! lol!
Have a good day! Wow! Thanks for telling me 'bout ronott1. I never heard of:
'Dehydrated eggs"

I believe most people cook their egg prior to feeding it to the chickens so they don't start eating their eggs. But my hens have gotten as much as 3 dozen at times and I'm just not cooking all that....lol. The girls don't try to eat the their eggs here so I haven't encountered any problems with doing this.

I hadn't heard about dehydrated eggs either until Ron spoke of doing that.

Sometimes I take all the extras and toss them in a blender shell and all (after washing) then scramble them all up and let our chickens feast. they love it and the shells are full of calcium. Plus i don't want to rack 3 dozen eggs. lol
 
I have frozen eggs many times. Great for winter baking when the hens slow down. I haven't tried dehydrating yet. I was going to try doing them raw but I want to read up more on the potential for salmonella to remain, others opinions on the end result and how to properly store them.

There are also various recipes for pickled eggs. Plain, spicy, beet..the beet pickled eggs are pretty.

I haven't tried this stuff yet but here is an egg preserver.

Waterglass was also used ages ago to preserve eggs for months in the shell.

the odds of an egg actually having salmonella is .012% plus after you re hydrate them you would cook them the same as using a regular egg as far as scrambling or baking. So the odds of getting salmonella would be the same as they are when using a regular fresh egg. thanks for the link btw. egg preserver may be a good idea as well.
