Then I squeeze out all the air I can (and, yes, I have gotten covered with egg doing this part!) and pop the back flat in my chest freezer.<br />I have tried them after weeks and months (as long as 4 months so far) and they are just as good as fresh.<br />I usually do them in dozens, but occasionally I will do a "5 bag" as my mother's amazing cheesecake recipe calls for 5 eggs. ;)<br />Thanks for all the fantastic ideas here on your blog, btw, it's wonderful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339257951687232485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-26963642006714370882012-03-26T07:13:00.866-07:002012-03-26T07:13:00.866-07:00Hope I don't have need of doing this and my ch...Hope I don't have need of doing this and my chickens just continue to lay and lay but just in case, this is great information to have on hand.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845252729189467819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-22967595805172863192012-03-21T22:11:04.497-07:002012-03-21T22:11:04.497-07:00You can also freeze them.

When it's full, freeze it, then pop out the individual "eggs" and put them in a freezer bag. I do this with buttermilk for bread baking. Since I have to heat the muffin tin to get them out, I make sure that they are all separate when I return them to the freezer, but after they've refrozen, they can be tossed together.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-8489468746330741902012-03-21T14:08:50.611-07:002012-03-21T14:08:50.611-07:00Candling might help to avoid that hideous surprise...Candling might help to avoid that hideous surprise?Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354640729644229842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-86168937119958960572012-03-20T11:26:38.452-07:002012-03-20T11:26:38.452-07:00Thanks for the heads-up, olive!

I think using your eggs to make storable goods is a wonderful idea- when I have lots of both eggs and milk, I make ice cream for the chest freezer. But I could also make quick reads and freeze them!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358194304460170717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-70775790863340326442012-03-19T17:30:04.648-07:002012-03-19T17:30:04.648-07:00I can remember the ising-glass method of preservin...I can remember the ising-glass method of preserving eggs from WW2 days ( I was VERY young) they tasted fowl Oooops, I mean foul !!! (lol) You would be disappointed with that method Aimee believe me.<br />When we have a glut of eggs we have a day of making pasta, it keeps for months, but you must be careful that it is completely dry before storing it in airtight containers. It tastes very much better than the commercially made pasta. We usually make the fettuccini narrow ribbon type and use it for all of our pasta dishes.Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389835614289815501noreply@blogger.com
