EGGS.....the perfect food! Did you know that?


Tips about eggs:
  • Eggs are best hard boiled when they're a week or older.....too fresh eggs don't separate from the shell well after boiling.
  • Beat eggs ...add a tich of salt....and freeze portions in ice cube trays for scrambling and baking later.
  • Store eggs small point down.
  • To test eggs for freshness.......fill a pan with water and immerse eggs......fresh eggs will lie horizontal on the bottom, older eggs will 'list' upwards....large end poking towards the top.  Eggs that float need to be discarded.

  1. Interesting stuff. Do you know how long frozen eggs last? I've heard that one before and wondering if its worth it to do for food storage or if its just a short time I wouldn't bother.

    Boyd has been asking for pet chickens lately. I think they're cool, but I'm not so sure about them in our tiny yard.
