you poured that scrambled egg from that bowl into the pan so well, I was waiting for it to go everywhere like I would have end up doing. All very good ideas!!

@essemsween818 6 жыл бұрын

You can freeze 2 whisked raw eggs in a Ziploc bag. Get out as much air as possible and freeze them laying flat. Most recipes in baking need an even number of eggs & you'll know each little bag has 2. They're only 1/4" or less thick when frozen & you can stand them on end like filing them so they take very little space up in the freezer.

Love that - and, put the baggies back in the freezer and re-use them when you freeze more eggs.

I just found your videos and had to comment on this was to use eggs up. Before retiring and I had the chickens I would make angel food cakes to freeze (using the whites) and pound cakes to use up the yolks. They both took exactly 12 eggs each. Very nice treats for the winter months, I'd use my frozen strawberries over the top.

I wish that I had seen this before I tried the ice cube tray idea!! 3 websites assured me they would fit, but 8 eggs filled the 12, and very messily! But I have made mini quiche, no crust, with turkey bacon, spinach, onion, garlic, seasonings,12 eggs, a bit of milk and cheese, baked in 2 large muffin pans, great taste, easy to thaw! Thanks for the ideas!

I find that putting parchment paper or wax paper between each one before freezing works great to get them apart. I have containers that fit homemade hamburgers that I do this with also.

Hey, stumbled across your channel and love what you're doing. 2 words for you. "Scotch Eggs". Basicly a partly boiled egg, wrapped in pork sausage, breaded in the traditional flower, egg wash, bread crumb, I bake mine but it's traditionally deep fired. Eaten hot or cold for breakfast, snack, or any time you're hungry. I used them for a rushed morning, reach into the fridge, pop into the toaster oven, go out to walk the dog, come back to a breakfast I can take on the road. Perfect for picnics, fishing, hunting or camping trips. Kids love them, seasoning is whatever works for you. Sausage can be anything you like. (italian sausage is a bit to greasy for me), I make my own sausage, and do honey and garlic, or a mix of that and a traditional english banger. It's so good your doctor is going to get mad with you. I'm starting to experiment where, in the prep process, is the best to freeze them. If I want stuff to last, I vacuum seal stuff. One kitchen tool I wish a bought decades before. Keep posting your stuff!

Sarah, I freeze my eggs as well. I discovered that you could do that by accident. I collected eggs when it was below zero and they were already frozen. The eggs did have a crack in them but did not explode. I thawed one as an experiment. I put it on a dish and let it thaw completely then I fried it and it was perfect. I didn't think it would be any good or would fall apart in the skillet. It didn't. You could not tell the difference between a fresh egg and the frozen one. So I do freeze mine in the shell when I get too many. Oh, I love your channel.

@essemsween818 4 жыл бұрын

Do you just put them in the freezer in the cardboard tray you store them in (or in my case buy them in) Kevin? You don't tap a hole anywhere near the top or encourage a little crack in the shells before you place them in the freezer? And how do you A) Store them once they're frozen, & B) Defrost them? Is it easy enough to crack the shell without getting loads of bits in the albumen. I'm fed up with throwing out eggs that I forget about and fully Free Range are NOT cheap over here. I always intend to do the silicone muffin tin thing but then forget about it again, but if I could just stick the whole box in the freezer there & then, I'd both save myself a fortune and always have eggs on hand, or at least just a 'defrost time' away. Lol. Would appreciate your advice.

They started laying on December 31, 2020 and have not stopped yet. We have been giving them away to neighbors and at church. This is very helpful to us to know how to handle an excess of eggs. Thanks again! (By the way, we are going to cull down our roosters.} We had bought 6 Dominique unsexed chickens with the hope of getting A rooster but instead, got 5 roosters and one hen. LOL

Preserving eggs without electricity would be my favourite method. Another KZfaq channel tested preservation methods from the 18th and 17th century, especially methods for preserving eggs. The best method was laying the eggs in a ceramic vessel with a saturated solution of slaked lime (Calciumhydroxide). The eggyolk became a little bit unstable as time went by, but the eggs were still absolutely fresh after 8 MONTHS. You could use them for baking and cooking. So maybe you consider to buy a pot of Calcium hydroxide for times when no electricity is available. The USA often have got blackouts.

My house is wired to the grid. However, all my out buildings, including my big freezer, are run by free solar and wind, unlimited energy. I use the typical marine batteries for storage. But, with all the EV car battery packs that will become available with 40-70% capacity left, I hope to get one or two in the next 5 years, since they will last longer. I just wish I was next to a creek for hydro. However, I am one property away. In a pinch I have extra generators so I can offer my neighbor to wire one for him and one for me from his creek. With hundreds of millions of motors, generators, and alternators around, electricity is here to stay, even after an EMP attack.

I have to admit, I tried the ice cube tray method...the eggs were much larger with whites than the little ice cubes spaces... I did 24 eggs!!! Ok, now what to do??? Well...I have made crockpot eggs before, but your idea of scrambling and freezing individual portions is great! I thawed out the 24 eggs...scrambled in the blender..put in crock pot, added a lb. of sausage that I had already fried up, 2 cups of grated cheese and a bag of frozen hashbrowns...cooked on high to get going and then put on low - maybe 5 hrs total...had tortillas and stuffed each and rolled and wrapped and put in freezer...saved me losing 2 dozen eggs..., love the dozen muffin tins...that is needed as ice cube trays just don't cut it...but for just the two of us here...we have 8 young laying hens...that's 8 eggs a day...most folks already raise chickens and can't give them away...so love these ideas, thank you so much for all that you all do in your videos!

I crack one egg into each ramekin, pierce the yolks with a sharp knife, and bake them at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes. They fit perfectly onto an English Muffin with a slice of American cheese and a slice of Canadian bacon. I freeze the assembled "McMuffins" on a parchment lined cookie sheet before individually wrapping them in plastic wrap and sealing them up in a gallon freezer Ziploc baggie. To eat: We unwrap the sandwiches, "open them up" into two halves, place them on a lined cookie sheet, and bake them from frozen in a 350 oven for about 15 - 20 minutes or just until heated through. They can also be microwaved, but we prefer them from the oven.

I like to make quiche to freeze. It works great. Prep whatever you want in your quiche (bacon, ham, spinach, cheese, ANYTHING) put in pie crust. then scramble 8-10 eggs in a bowl and pour on top. Use saran wrap to wrap it up and then ton foil over that. Then freeze- yes freeze without baking. Once frozen, I usually pop two into a 2 gallon freezer bag to last longer without freezer burn. I label the foil with what type of quiche it is. When ready- bake 350* for about an hour! So easy and it uses a whole bunch of eggs.
