What is the best way to freeze eggs?

Submitted ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨[deleted]⁩

It is looking like eggs are about to go up again and I have a lot of freezer space. There are many ways to do this but I am looking for portion control and convivence for 1 person. Is it better to scramble them or try to freeze as is?

  Add a popsicle stick for a quick high protein treat

Definitely scrambled. If you freeze as-is, the yolks will gel and remain that way when thawed.

Your other option is water glassing rather than freezing, but that only works with fresh, unwashed egs (not store bought). Also be aware most recipes you will find on the internet are wrong! Proper waterglassing should use Sodium Silicate, not lime (Sodium Hydroxide).

They keep a very long time in the fridge, especially if unwashed. No need to freeze them.

You could get powdered eggs if you want something easy to store that you dont have to worry about for a longer time.

If you have a vacuum bag sealer, you could make some custom bags that hold two eggs or more, crack the eggs into the bag (a wide-mouth funnel helps), vacuum out most of the air and seal them. Lay them flat during the initial freeze and they will store great!
