Chicken bald back

[beccauk]

Hi

 

ive read about poeple freezing eggs wondered if anyone has tried and if have had any success and method of how they freeze them

[chuckmum6]

I had also read this and tried it - don't it is yucky!

Yes you can freeze eggs for cooking purposes later. Break some into a small container (we use yoghurt pots) and stir gently sufficient to break up the yolks. Cover with cling film and freeze. Good for baking and scrambled egg.

 

Storing them whole is complicated. Old poultry books will describe a method using 'waterglass'.

Make them into something and then freeze them I'd say.

 

I tend to go into pasta ball or quiche overload when I have a big glut

Separated eggs freeze well - make sure you label the container of bag so that you know how many egg yolks or egg whites you have in each one. (Freezer books say to add salt or sugar to the egg yolks, and to label them so you know which is which).

 

We freeze egg whites more than we freeze yolks. I love hollandaise and custard, so it's usually the egg whites I get left with,

 

I have some small baby food tubs. I put one egg white in each tub and freeze it. WHen frozen, I pop them out and then put them all in bag in the freezer. I can then reuse the tub. It's then easy to get the right number of egg whites I need.

 

I mostly use them making cocktails.

 

I also tend to freeze my yols in the same way now, as Iit's so easy to keep track of quantities.

Agree with WitchHazel - separating the eggs is the best way to go. The whites freeze perfectly. The yolks I find don't freeze quite so well and you need to make sure you stir/break them up before freezing as they go kind of thick after freezing (the best way I can describe it!).

 

Even better is to do as Space Chick suggests and make them into something that you can freeze.
