stock up on eggs....freeze them.

Yes, we can freeze eggs.....use an ice cube tray or silicone mold thingy...


Scramble the eggs, place in the cube tray of choice mold...freeze..... then later remove frozen cubes, place then in a freezer bag as frozen cubes...store in freezer....take out as needed.

you can even place say 4-5 eggs scrambled of course, place in a freezer bag/ be sure to label the count...this for say making a frittata...

eggs froze whole ...the yokes get rubbery..

YouTube has several videos...

1. Good to know. My local Costco is using eggs as a loss leader, selling 2 dozen for 3.50.

Shortages happen with bird flu, and now with the oil dilemma, transportation of eggs, fertilizer to farmers and feed resources will disrupt the eggs availability....also getting eggs to store will be more costly due to transportation to markets.

I am fortunate to have a friend , her parents have an egg farm free range pasture...not that business model....they always give me dozens of farm fresh delicious eggs....

3. Yes, when you freeze eggs raw the yolks do get rubbery. But all is fine they taste

,... good.

We found that out this winter, it was abnormally very cold this year, and it started early in the winter season. After a grocery shopping trip we got home and unloaded the bags from the car to bring to the kitchen and pantry. I placed the eggs from the trunk of the car and left them on a bench in the garage to bring them in the kitchen last/seperate to protect the eggs from getting broken. This is when the eggs were priced at about $5/dozen. Well I forgot the eggs out in the garage and forgot to bring them in the kitchen.

No heat out there so the eggs froze solid. A few days later I found the eggs frozen. We let them thaw and tried to make omelets using the previously frozen eggs. They were fine, but as you said in the thread, in the mixing bowl we had to chase the yolks around to break them, being that they now had a rubbery consistency after having been frozen out in the garage. The omelets came out yummy, and the $5 eggs did not go to the waste bin.

Did not mean to hijack this thread with my frozen egg story.

It can happen to any of us...leaving stuff in garage...I have...

I don't go thru the eggs as fast I use to with kids around back a few years ago...so freezing works great... definitely a simple prepper task...

I do make egg bites in my Instant pot...dozen eggs for that... I also use 8-12 eggs when making bread pudding...Ina Gartens recipe..

5. I once made the mistake of freezing groundnut chop without removing the hardboiled eggs first.

They were DISGUSTING. Yolks wee dry and crumbly, and the whites like plasticine. Not at all like eggs.
