Hi thanks for the advice!

Can i simply just freeze the eggs in the shell and then when i want to use them leave them out to thaw?

For a handing egg storage method:

Mix 3 eggs with butter, flour, sugar and some other flavourings. Bake. Slice and store in your tummy.

I've been storing eggs like this for years. Never had any problems :-)

sorry white, you cant just stick em in the freezer. note when you freeze water, it expands. same for any liquid, but also the egg acts like an airtight container and the pressure will build up. unfortunately the egg will explode and it'll be like a dog's breakfast.

Hi

some believe that freezing eggs in their shell will result in eggs exploding. Not true -frozen eggs in their shell will NOT explode in the freezer. This is a myth.

Sometimes the shells crack a bit if you freeze the eggs in their shell, but there's a little air sack inside that provides enough room to expand. To prevent risk of cracked eggs, better not freeze them in the shell in the beginning. Discard any egg that cracks when frozen.

You can freeze whole eggs if you first beat the yolks and whites together. To freeze the whites only just separate the whites from the yolks. Pour the whites into a freezer container and seal tightly. The whites can be kept for up to 6 months in the freezer.


This method is for chicken eggs. Other poultry eggs like quail and duck are sightly different.

To freeze yolks alone. In a lightly oiled bowl or container, you need to mix four yolks with a pinch of salt and 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar. For eight yolks, add a pinch of salt, 3 teaspoons of sugar etc. Put into a plastic bag and store in the freezer. They will be good for up to 6 months in the freezer. Keep the yolks frozen until needed. Then defrost them in the fridge.

If you want to freeze yolks alone, you MUST add some salt and sugar otherwise they will turn to jelly.

When you buy your eggs from the store or market don't wash eggs until you want to use them. There is a natural thin wax coating on the egg shell that protects it from contaminants. Eggs have been before they are sent your the store/market and further washing might do more damage to the protective wax.
