💥 HOW to Water Glass Eggs HERE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gthgmbVn3rjTioE.html

I just ate eggs this morning that I glassed in June. They were perfect. One thing I do that NO ONE ELSE suggests: about 1 month in, I transfer every egg to a new container with new solution. I check for cracks at that time and this has the added benefit of restacking so the older ones are on top. If they’re going to break they will have done so by then. The others can be rinsed and put in new solution in a new jar and they’re good to go. Also, DONT MOVE your containers unless you have to once they’re good to go! Edit: I use 1 gallon jars from azure standard. Don’t do it in the huge jars.

water glassing for 5 yrs. rarely find a cracked one - one of my hens lays a thin shell so I don;t put hers in. Got to be careful with them - use mine mainly for baking - use fresh solution every time

Ive eaten water glass eggs since i had my first taste of egg long before i was a year old. I will continue to water glass. The crocks are kept in a dirt cellar under the house as they have been been for 72 years. I think a lot depends on the water used.

I love how James always looks so serious. Except when he looks at you. His eyes light up. Love your videos!!!

I’m by no means an expert but for those that may be thinking about doing this. You don’t wash the eggs first. Leave the bloom on. And candle the eggs to see if there are any cracks in the shell that aren’t obvious to the eye. And I believe a cool place is ideal. So keep under the counter rather than up top

My mother grew up in the Depression (ice box era) and her family water glassed. It was really meant as a way to preserver over the winter until laying started again.

If you are concerned about your glass eggs, do the float test. This will tell you if they are good or not

I tried water glassing for the first time. I did mine in July and have used most up already. I noticed that the yolks tend to break into the whites so I use them in baking and scrambled eggs. Would definitely do it again this coming summer.

I use 1/2 gallon jars - just because of the weight. Not only egg-on-egg weight, but also carrying the jars up and down the basement stairs. If I drop a jar, I'm only out 14 eggs and a jar.

There’s also dehydrating, freezing and freeze drying! I love it- don’t put all your eggs in one basket

When I water glass, I use them for baking or scrambling. If one cracks in the batch- I pull the good ones out of the solution, rinse and put in fresh lime water. The bad egg and the discolored lime, I dilute & pour into the garden or potted plants. No waste, no worries! 💚

Thanking your son for his input too. It’s not easy to get on camera and we appreciate you Gabriel! (The mom in me can’t help but yell “good job!”) Lol.

I've raised chickens for 58 years. I've been cooking for about 56 years. One thing I learned from my Grandma was to always break each egg seperately into a small bowl before combining either with other eggs or into baking or cooking. This prevent having to toss a whole batch of anything. I cannot recommend this strongly enough. It takes a few seconds more. But so worth it. Since I have ducks, guineas and chickens, I also candle my eggs before I rinse them to use them. I do not wash or rinse them until I use them. Nor do I refrigerate my eggs and they last for months.

Saw one person say to use a flashlight to check for hairline cracks on the eggs before water glassing them.

This is a perfect example of diversification of assets and supplies, and the need for such. Thank you Patara.

My Grandma was raised on a chicken farm. They raised 700 plus chickens. She told me that they used to water glass their eggs and that they would be fine but the yolks would often break. My hens have not been laying for the last several months except for a couple that free range. I've had that issue with the feed that you're talking about. Great video!

It's nice to see Gabe again. My husband brought me one egg yesterday from the chicken house I was so excited. I bought an 18 count the other day the price was 7. 80 see why I was so happy about that one 🥚 🐣 egg.

I GREATLY APPRECIATE THESE VIDEOS AND LEARN SO MUCH! THANK YOU GABRIEL, PATARA AND JAMES! PLEASE HIT THE LIKE BUTTON TO SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS!

I so enjoy watching you. I don't have a farm, but no matter. If things had been different in my life, maybe I could have lived on a small farm. No matter, I learn from you. And, you are never too old to learn. ♥️🙏😊

I do a float test before breaking them open, then do a smell test. I also keep mine in well washed plastic coffee can, usually holds just about 2 doz eggs.

I haven’t gone into my water glasses ones yet, but I had an egg crack in one. I saw it go cloudy and dumped it, but it was a gallon jar completely gone. My thought then was I think I’m only going in smaller batches. Honestly we have enough chickens we don’t need to water glass, but I think there is a very important lesson in learning to preserve whatever you can and learning what works best for you in case you ever truely needed to do it. In normal day to day I don’t need to, but I will continue to do a few small batches to preserve the knowledge.

Patara the lessons you provide us are priceless 👊🥰🙏

I am of Bavarian heritage and like beet-picked hardboiled eggs. They last for years; you can add eggs to vinegar/beet pickling solution over time. I can bake with flaxseed instead of eggs with no problem.

Thanks for the info, FYI; if you want extra fluffy eggs, a little restaurant trick is to add a little water to you eggs when you scramble(max 2tsp per egg), NOT milk, milk may taste better to some, but a little water when you are scrambling will make a fluffier egg. We always did this for omelets not scrambled eggs for the plate.

Thanks, Patera, for showing us the good, the bad, and the ugly!! I water glassed my 1st batch about a month ago because I kept seeing your's on your counter and thought I might as well give it a try. My hens are young and started laying in November, so I do have plenty of eggs, but I still thought I'd give it a try so I would know for next year. I was fearful about the weight and about losing to me eggs, so I put mine in a 1/2 gallon jar. Think I will continue to do that. Thank you so much for all you do for us! God bless you girl!

Don't toss them. I crack them and put the shells and all in my holes when I plant tomatoes and peppers. Seems to work pretty well. Also the batch we lost was because of a small stress crack we missed when we started them.

Things I've learned about water glassing eggs - my opinion only; 1. Fresh, clean eggs, no more than 2 days out of the nest 2. Use smaller containers, clear preferably, to visually see any changes (I used the big white plastic bucket,. It got heavy. Going smaller from now on) 3. Store in a cool, dark room - OUT OF TRAVEL PATHS. 4. Check at least monthly,, visually & use your nose. If the bucket stinks, ditch it & start over, better safe than sorry. 5. When adding eggs to your container, use a spider style spoon to lower them in gently - easier than gloves IMO. 6. Date the lid when you started (we ate from the bucket off & on, for 8 months, before "someone" kicked it causing breakage). * see note #3. 9. ALWAYS crack each egg into a small bowl before adding to a recipe or pan. 10. If in doubt throw it out (into the garden works). We liked them, the dogs liked them. Scrambled is best. Whisked easy for recipes. I still freeze whisked eggs in quantities of 3 & 6 as back up.

My son just last night gave me a five gallon bucket with 10 dozen eggs that he put in on 1/28/21. So far they are all perfect . He kept then in his dark cold basement. I am going to freeze dry them now. Did not have freeze drier back 2 years ago. So thankful to have both options to preserv

I've water glassed my eggs for 3 years. Just like fresh. The yokes may not be as stiff the older they get, so I just use them scrambled or omlette. If they crack in there, just throw that one out.

I crack my individually and smell them. If I don't like the way they smell, I through them out. I mainly use them for baking. I love when Gabriel is in your videos 😁

I started water glassing my eggs in September 2022 in half gallon jars. 15-19 eggs per half gallon. I stored them in cool dark place. I’ve started using them now. So far everything is ok. I don’t reuse the water.

Love it!! “Don’t put your eggs in one basket” Maybe that’s where that came from! Thanks sis for another great video ❤

Thank you for the reminder. I checked mine now and many appeared to be "frozen" likely because they were in a location close to the ground. I opened them all and there was no odor at all and some actually looked like the usual opened eggs.

Adorable cookie jar!! A tribute to miss Belle!❤️

I water glassed my eggs in Summer of 2021 in a 5 gallon bucket and got no breakages. But I never moved the bucket and just took what I needed at the time. This past summer, I used a 2 gallon bucket and tried moving it out of necessity. I got 10 breakages so I ended up blending and freezing the rest. Lesson I learned? Leave your water glassed eggs in a permanent spot and don’t agitate them. The slightest pressure from the walls of your container and each other will break them. Also, water glassed yolks break easily so you may not be able to separate yolks from whites.

I have always believed that you give us ONLY the facts, that you KNOW, thank you for that! On another note, I'm soooo jealous of Gabriels great looking hair!

I totally agree with your assessment. Last year I was so zealous about water glassing. I lost a 5 gallon bucket of eggs. I had to lift and move the bucket which I guess cracked the eggs... thus they spoiled. Those eggs glassed for about 18 months. After that experience I down-sized to a 2 gallon container. I found one cracked egg, no smell, water was not gray and my extra sensitive smeller unit (husband) LOL He taste tested the eggs. They were great! Now with our new hens we are collecting 12-14 eggs each day. Aside from giving eggs away to friends, I started a smaller 1 gallon container for glassing. I'll label them and use those eggs sooner than previously stated. I will start using the oldest batch as soon as production slows down.

This was my 1st ever batch of waterglassed eggs (chicken, duck, quail), set in July. So far, perfect results. My goal was to have eggs if needed when my girls are on holiday. So far, most of my ducks are still laying every day (in CT); chicks, not. I give my flock scrambled eggs with spagetti 1-2 times a week to supplement their food along with sprouts every day. Both of these extras save me on pellet food. So, unless I am totally out of fresh eggs, my waterglass eggs will be used to feed my flock. That's a win in my mind. God Bless.

Great video, Patara. I love that James and Gabriel took part in the test as well. Our little homestead doesn't have enough chickens to warrant water glassing, but in the future we might, and I would definitely give it a try after watching this. It's so informative to know what could happen and how to mitigate a possible problem. Well done!

Yes! I appreciated this. We can all learn there may be failure in our well laid plans and prep. Keeps me humble when I realize I don't have control when an unforeseen circumstance occurs. This was a great example of going with what comes with the territory of homesteading skills. You're the best!🌼❇️🌼❇️♥️

Lol That look on his face was priceless.

Make sure to rinse the lime residue off the eggs before cracking open 😉

We only have room for a few chickens so I cannot risk losing them to experimentation, so I really appreciate that you are willing to take these risks and then be so honest about your results! I have learned so much from you and know I will be learning more in the future!

I don't get to watch often but I love your channel. I didn't even know you could waterglass eggs until I watched one of your videos. Thank you for continuing to educate and inform us. Keep doing what you're doing. 🙂

I'm so glad you showed us your eggs. I'm going to stick with freezing or freeze dried eggs. Your the second person I watched that has had trouble of breakage. The other person said it stunk and a 5 gallon bucket full of eggs. I'm not risking that many eggs to be thrown out. I love my frozen eggs for baking and scrambled eggs.

I loved this video. I have learned so much from you. Great to see James and Gabriel. Thank you for all you do!

Thanks Patara 🤗❤️

You two are such sweethearts. GOD bless you both and the youngsters.

We had the same experience you did and I never tried again so I'm really looking forward to seeing this one all the way through as usual good morning everybody

Awesome video, as always!

Thanks so much! This answered many questions and then some!

Was curious what the results would be. Thanks for doing this! Also, love the deer plate!!

I plan on water glassing for the first time this summer. These videos are much appreciated. Thank you! * also a nice treat to see Gabriel.

I’m a newbie to this idea- thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge & experience❗️🤗

Just a thought.... could the bad batch be because it was exposed to light and heat as well? As with any food preservation, temperature and light exposure are contributing factors to spoilage. Thanks for the video Patara !

I will be trying this for next winter as my hens will be older next year and most likely not as productive through the winter as they were this year. I will do the "float test" before cooking them. Thanks for the info!

Thank you Patara and James. This was is some great information on water glass eggs. Im thinking about trying it out. My hen's have started laying more again. God Bless yall.

You have me 😆 cracking up girl! Funky cold Medina, I loved that song! I’m so happy I found you/your channel. Learning so much & not feeling so along out here on our new farm. So much to learn & learning each day. Thank you so much for everything. I really appreciate your videos♥️. God bless you my friend.

Thanks for sharing this experiment. They look great 💕✌️

I prefer to put them in a silicone cupcake trays, use my stick blender to scramble them in the cup, cover and freeze then pop them out and put into freezer bags marked with the date.

I so enjoy you videos! I learn something new each time! Blessings ❣️❣️

Love U Pantera. Thank you for another informative video

I started doing water glassing right when you put out your videos, now I’ll go and check mine. I did put them in a cool dark cabinet so they wouldn’t be disturbed, excited to see the results.

Looks Great guys.Beautiful color.Looks amazingly delicious 😋.

I just water glasses two dozen in two jars this weekend. Trying everything I can to preserve. Thanks for the test!!!

Glad for the update! I tried this from watching your video. Reminds me that I also need to try my eggs out.

Water glassing is something I am going to try this year. Also, some may want to try different pickling recipes with the eggs. There are a lot of recipes that are just delicious. Thank you Patara for another informative video!

James is really becoming a big part of the videos, you both are perfect for each other

I have been glassing fresh eggs for 3 years. I have some 2 years. I keep them in a glass jar in a dark cool closet. I tested them 2 days ago and they are fine.

Thank you so much for doing this update! I water glassed eggs last spring and noticed one was cracked in the jar and wasn’t sure what to do with the others. Always learning from your channel!!

Oh.... I love that concrete block comparison. Perfect sense. Now I know that you must "turn the eggs round" and check regularly. And Thank You for showing us the "learning curve". Need to know this too! I am starting glassing on March 1st, so glad of this knowing.

I can't wait to try it! I've watched many successful stories.

Thanks so much for the video Patara. It’s so nice to see a presentation showing using glasses eggs. I only saw the Townsend video which is also a very helpful site. God bless you and your family

Yes Patera, My egg production has slowed too, but its been chilly, its ok, my girls can do what ever makes them happy. Was only getting 2 to 3 eggs out of 6 hens, but noticed a got 4 the other day. Just depends what the weather is doing. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this follow up video!

Thank you for this most helpful and informative segment. I'm a recent subscriber who is looking to acquire more (exurb) homesteading skills and I find your demeanor and presentation style to be utterly guiless and charming. Keep up the good work!

Great lessons learned and shared. Thanks Patera ❤️

I just did my first half-gallon jar! I was able to fit 16 of my freshest eggs into that jar. I'm excited to have them for this winter when my girls stop laying. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks so much for this. Have been following your channel for a few years but very really comment on any KZfaq videos. I just had to say thanks for this one as it is very useful to me. I am increasing my flock this year and will definitely be trying this as I had to buy eggs for 3 months this season.

Thank you for the update. I will try it this year with duck eggs. Duck eggs are THE BEST for baking.

Thank you for another wonderful video

Thank you. Very educational. I love follow up videos.

Thank you so much for this video!! Great content!!! 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You guys are just so adorable

Hi Patera and all. I just started water glassing. This was my first venture to water glass them so I’m using my 1/2 gallon mason jars to learn and see how they do

Great video! I have been curious about water glassing. I think smaller batches is the way to go!!!

I have been wondering if I should try to do this. Thank you for sharing 😊

Wow!!!! Thats awesome!!!!

Gabe looks just like his Daddy! excellent video Patara thank you and happy greetings from Alberta Canada

Thank you for your review of water glassed eggs!! I'll have to try mine!

Very informative! I've never waterglassed eggs before and will definitely do this in the future. Thank you! 👩‍🌾🐓

Great video! Have a Blessed day!

Awesome comparison. U answered all of my questions. I’m going to try this method. C u on the next video. And kudos to the men that tested them for u?!

Thank you for sharing the end results, when the time comes I will try myself. I have also thought about the size of the containers and how heavy they were that people are using. Thanks again!

Thank you for the information. I was wondering how the eggs were as far as taste. My Great-Grandma use to do her eggs that way until the house go electrified in 1976. I don't recall ever having eggs at her house so I was wondering. Love your down to earth way of presenting things. You share both the successes and failures to let us know things don't always go according to plan.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I waterglassed 3 doz in the same glass jar. So far they are doing fine. Yet, like you, if I go to the jar and it is funky it will then be discarded. A few tears of disappointment is not worth the risk if it happens. BTW Gabriel is such a trooper with honest and cute smile. I could tell he was being honest. Stay safe always and love always.

Grew up in the city and never herd of water glassing eggs until I found your channel. Very interesting and I have learned a lot . ♥️♥️

Super informative video! Thank you so much.

Great video! Very interesting! Thank you for sharing! Take care! Blessings!
