    Ladies, simply put I have 10 dozen eggs in my fridge.  And they are piling up by the day.  I want to somehow save them for the winter months, but HOW??

    Can anyone tell me the best way to save my eggs.  Thanks

    You’re so lucky!  I would make egg caseroles for the freezer and just pull them out and pop them in the oven – SO easy!

    Egg casseroles sound great!

    Here is what the American Egg Board says about freezing them fresh:

    Freezer Storage: If you have more eggs than you can use within a few weeks, you can freeze them, out of their shells. Freeze only clean, fresh eggs. Place them in freezer containers, seal tightly and label with the number of eggs, whites or yolks and the date. Defrost frozen eggs overnight in the refrigerator.

    Egg yolks thicken (or gel) when frozen. To hinder gel formation, beat in either 1/8 teaspoon salt or 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar or corn syrup per ¼ cup yolks (4 Large) before freezing. Indicate “with salt” (main dishes) or “with sugar” (desserts) on the label.

    EggsFreezer (0°F or colder)

     Raw whole eggs (in shell)Not recommended
    Raw whole eggs (slightly beaten)Up to 1 year
    Raw egg whites  Up to 1 year
    Raw egg yolks  Up to yearHard-boiled eggs (in shell)Not recommended
    Hard-boiled eggs (peeled)  Not recommended (the white become tough and watery)

    I freeze extra in large ice cube trays for use in baking only. I’ll get look-up the info. on the way to mix w/salt and measure.

    I think there is a way to preserve eggs by dipping them in oil….they can keep for months. I read about this a while back and have no idea where but will try to google search and in the meantime, hope someone else comes along who knows about this and shares in a post!

    Keep track of which ones are the newest, they will probably keep for several months in the fridge if you haven’t washed them (washing removes a protective anti-bacterial coating).

    The above ways of freezing eggs are great. Or else you could make things like large batches of zucchini bread, muffins, brownies (whatever your family eats) and put that in the freezer. Depends how much freezer space you have!

    So I am suppose to take 4 eggs and mix with 1/8 tsp salt and then freeze in ice cube trays?  Would that be the best way? 

    I would think about 1 egg per ice cube spot?

    Thanks

    I have frozen eggs, as well as pickled them for longer use. Of course the pickling ones are more for egg salad, use in salads, use in potato salad, etc. after that.
