Freeze Raw Eggs

[pinkfox]

i had a friend who frozeher eggs in a similar manner but in ice cube trays, the said the frozen eggs were only realy good for baking/cooking anyway so shed scramble them and pour into large ice cube trays, 1 cube being about the equivalent of 1 medium egg...
i thought it was a great idea because then she could just pop out as many as she needed rather than thawing a whole batch...planning on trying this method myself

From the meat-preservation thread, this was mentioned at the tail end of an article:

"...to preserve eggs, pack them in finely-ground corn meal. According to the recipe, eggs will keep 'perfectly fresh' for up to a year this way. "

I suppose it is a matter of which is more valuable to you - I've got chickens, so I have eggs, sometimes more, sometimes fewer. On the other hand, I don't have enough space to grow corn. Therefore the cornmeal to store the eggs would be more valuable to me than the eggs themselves - as I would not want to use the meal for people food after having stored eggs in it. I suppose the chickens could eat it though If I were to try this, however, I would certainly work on getting into the habit that ~gd wrote of, that is, cracking each egg into a dish first, before adding it to whatever I was making

Well, I can't imagine how it would work, anyway. Maybe it didn't work well at all. It's not like these are double-blind placebo-controlled experiments, right?

Personally, I'd rather keep eggs "on the hoof."

Last winter we only had 2 hens and they went on molt-strike. I bought a dozen store-bought eggs. When the girls FINALLY started laying again after 2 1/2 months, I still had 2 eggs left. I scrambled them and gave them to the chickens. I added 6 more for a total of 8 hens. Freezing eggs......hmmmm
