@Appalachia's Homestead with Patara I've watched a lot of videos on homesteading and this is the best, most thorough how to of all the videos. I wanted to do water glassing eggs and have watched several videos on how to. If I hadn't watched your video, I would have failed again in preserving eggs. Tried to freeze eggs but haven't been successful so switching to water glassing eggs. But I don't have chickens and can't get farm fresh eggs so water glassing is on hold. Thanks for taking the time to put out videos and sharing your life and knowledge with us.
Okay, I'm ready for the next video lesson on anything to do with homesteading.
I was going to try freezing eggs can you tell me what happened to make yours unsuccessful?
You're so cute
Keep moving forward, you got this!
@@beckygeer6480 my husband tells me that the frozen eggs can be rubbery
When I freeze eggs, I break them into a bowl, whisk together, then pour into breast milk bags. Then when I want to defrost, I just stand them in the fridge until thawed, then use. I can get 5 eggs into a breast milk bag
Reach out to farmers markets, neighbors. Someone knows where you can get them.
Your video is a prime example of the ole saying "Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Thanks for sharing!
My family store our eggs for about 16 months.. my aunt does 18 months..we have done this for 4 generations. We love them
With same method? How does it taste after a year?
@@pembebulut2781
The taste is no different..it just saves the egg .
Do eggs stored in this way retain their fertility? Can we hatch fertilized eggs after a long storage period?

I've watched a number of glassing videos, but only learned from Patara the time limits on the process. I just started feeding my neighbor's cat and chickens while they are on vacation for a few days. The eggs that I am collecting are mine to keep and I wanted to do glassing, but didn't know how long I have to get the water and pickling from the store after work. These little facts are SO helpful. Thanks, Patara.
"Ladies"? Hey, I love the ladies watching but us guys watch and love you too, Patera. Thanks for all of your help!
I put mine in smaller jars with the idea of being able to bless family members and friends at a later date.
My first water glassing attempt was with a 2 gallon pail. I got up to 83 eggs in that pail and thought no way do I want to move that around. Since that pail, I now use 1 gallon mason jars. Definitely easier to move and like you say that’s a whole lot of eggs to waste if something goes wrong. Great video! Thanks for sharing
Did you buy Ball brand mason jars or 1 gallon mason-like jars? I can't find the actual brand.
In case you hadn't heard, the YT financial fellow, I Allegedly, gave you a shout out in his video yesterday. I thought it was cool that I subscribe to both of you!
I love water glassing eggs! I would rather use the glass jars than a plastic container because I can watch the eggs that way! I check them daily and if I find one that ends up cracking I can quickly put the eggs in a fresh water mixture thereby not losing the entire jar.
I used plastic buckets in the past and it was difficult to know if an egg went bad.
Anyway, thanks for all that you do!
Thank you for explaining to those of us who don't have chickens!
I have to share this with people who understand, my local Amish and Mennonite bulk food stores are out of wheat berries and can’t get any more. The shortages became real to me this weekend. I had a moment of panic thinking about people, especially my children going hungry. Everybody, keep doing what you’re doing! Please, don’t stop!
Thank you for the heads up Kate. This is really serious. Typically they are the producers of food and have enough to sell. Now if they don't have any that is alarming. Like Patera said farmers and growers will need to pull back to survive. The Mennonites are no exception.
@@inklingduckling7087 You’re welcome. I’m glad I can share with people who understand the implications of this. The Amish bulk food store owner told me maybe six weeks ago that her suppliers are only growing half the oats they usually do this year. It is very, very serious.
Which state are you in with the shortage?
@@fullofgracehomestead I’m in East TN.
Kate Rich me too. It’s been hit or miss ordering online, mostly missing. I haven’t been to the amish market in a couple of weeks near me.
Great video! I recommend using glass mayonnaise jars, relish jars, olive jars, etc. They’re free. They’re small. And if an egg breaks or gets ruined, you’ve only lost a handful of eggs. ❤️
Great tip! Many people outside the US reuse jars this way with success! 🙏
I appreciate your videos so much! I wanted to share w you my 7 year old watched a video with me this weekend and said “Is she a farmer? A farmer AND a You Tuber? Wow, great job!” Kids say in the cutest way and truest things.
Aww! Thank you!!!
@@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara Here is why watetglassing isn't safe=in the 1800's we thought salmonella only grew on the outside of the egg but we discovered it grows on the inside too. The worst part is that farm fresh eggs have salmonella just as much if not more than store bought eggs. DON'T DO THIS PEOPLE.
Happy Mother's Day Patara! Thank you for all your tips that you share with us! Do you realize how many lives you just might be saving? #Esther
I SO agree with using SMALLER containers!😊
Morning sweet lady. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it and blessings from a mama of 7 who, homeschools and homesteads too
You are a REAL rockstar! 🥰
Omg yes PATARA, coming in hot with the homestead tips! 🙌🏼
I do mineral oil farm fresh eggs. Anyway you can preserve food is great. Stack it to the ceiling with what is coming.
I've been preserving my eggs this way for a couple of years now and love this method, no issues !! Good to always have fresh farm eggs all year round ! Thanks for sharing this.
That’s what I was wondering. Does the pickling lime change the taste of the egg?
@@Msnailfly Me, too.
Joyce Clark how do they taste? Pickled or what? Thanks
I’m so afraid of salmonella or me screwing something up and making my family sick.?………..
I'm so on board with using Glass or Smaller containers my Great Aunt and my Mom (when she was young 1923+) used to use ceramic crocks .
My husband and I look forward to your videos every day. We have our grown children watching you. Keep up the good work!!!! We are planting a small raised garden, canning and putting back! Thanks for all the wonderful info!
430am With a video while I'm driving to work yes ma'am
I use another method, I seal the permeable shell with cheap Luanna coconut oil, return them to saved egg cartons, and store them in my cool basement pantry. I turn the cartons every month, and supposedly they will last 6-9 months. We try to finish each batch in 6 months. If an egg has even a small crack, it will rot.
Mineral oil works well too...a way to make store bought eggs last longer. Easy to research...
@@rosieb.2719 I am soo gonna try this on my store-bought eggs! I've already 'experimented' with how long past the bb date they can be eaten before starting to go off.....its no more than 9 days! 😉
@@rosieb.2719 - yes! And inexpensive. 💕
@@corithefrugalflower 🙌💕🙌
@@rosieb.2719 I did mineral oil on store bought eggs once. I used a couple in baking but I didn’t use any after learning they needed to be fresh. To scared to 😬
You're an excellent teacher. You are loving and adorable.
Thank you! 😃
Every spring, I get a 5# bag of organic taters from the health food store. If they've already sprouted, they are marked way down. I put them in a box top, spread out, in a dark cabinet. I had enough to plant 10 Ikea bags full and I can't keep ahead of them. My goal is 100# or better, which would cost $160+ and I only spent $2.99 on the taters. I had the bags and our own compost. I'm tickled pink.
I water glassed eggs and they lasted 15 months with no problem. Used the last of them this winter when my layers took their winter vacation ;)
I used 5 gallon buckets only because that's what I had on hand. Only filled them half full with eggs because I was concerned about the weight.
Think I need one of those purdy gallon jars on my counter :D
Thank you and hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.
I just water glassed eggs for the first time yesterday!! I was so excited and my husband was so confused. 😆 I got 18 eggs in one of those gallon glass jars.
Immersion blender for complete mixing of the lime in a jar. Easy and fast.
Hi Patara . You can use painters tape to mark your jars. It’s stays on very well and you can remove it very easily!
It's nice to see I'm not the only one using painters tape to label their jars! 😂
@@onyx616 I love it! 😀
@@aldas3831 So do I. 😃
I think I also would make a piece of painters tape going down the side of jar, to number the eggs in jar/bucket. Then I could check off as I used the eggs. I would then always know the amount of eggs left in bucket.
Up at 4 am, have to feed one calf (Angus) that was a twin that the cow left behind. Seems to happen every year, but blessed hubby find them each time.
Regarding water glassing: Yes, the smaller container works best and less loss should something happen!
My pastor, John Kilpatrick, took us to Proverbs 6:6-11 yesterday. I immediately thought of you, and wrote Patara right there. You are in my Bible, and I see my Bible in you. Thank you for all you do. Stay busy little ant!
Oh that's beautiful!! And I do so love the word "sluggard." It's so depictive
I ordered my picking lime last week and found a 6 pack of half gallon jars waiting to be filled with eggs ❤ cam wait to start!
This is awesome. Thank you for the instruction to do this. I do apply the theory of smaller batches to protect larger food stores to other things as well. (Example: we buy 25 pound bags of sugar. What's in the bag with it? All kinds of things do travel in the packaging, things that I don't want in my house. We have no way of knowing what environment the food we bring home was actually exposed to.) That's my 2 cents worth.
I recently water glassed eggs for the first time. you shared information I did not know or learn from others. thank you for sharing!
Just a note on the bucket potatoes.....I planted mine with about 3 inches of dirt and then filled the bucket to about 1 inch of the top. They grew all the way thru and sprouted at about the same time as those I planted in the ground.
Sending a Happy Mother's Day to everyone who will get there's today out shopping for them. Hug's to all who need one.
REAL Science! LOL.... Love it! 😉 Thank you for the great info. Gotta do this for sure. 🥰
Just tested my first ever batch patara from Sep '23 and they were perfect.
Just made a deal with a local farmer for 3 doz. unwashed eggs each Friday. Looking forward to trying this method! Thank you so much!
That’s great!
I've been hearing about this method, but was a bit leary of food poisoning. Now that you've explained it so clearly, I think I'll go for it. Thanks, Patara, I really enjoyed this video.
I've done 3 5gl buckets filled half with eggs. I can't move em. Everything your suggesting ...I agree
Do they have to be food grade buckets?
@@buckleymanor4658 I would say yes. Ask at your closest grocery store bakery or deli for empty frosting buckets. That is similar to what Patera was using. Often you can get them for free because they would just be throwing them out. Or you could arrange to trade some eggs for buckets. ;)
I got swimming pools at tractor supply at the end of the season . Under 2 dollars apiece . They work great for squash!
Great video but the best part? The Alton Brownish style you shot!!! Love it!! Awesome creativity there!
Patara, you are right on with the eggs, been doing this for years. Just never use a crock that you make kraut in.
This was fascinating. I had never heard of this before. I did freeze eggs after watching you. They are in a little container now. How cool is that.
The eggs will always move around Grandma told me that back in the 1950's I know I am OLD!!! I go with 12 months for myself with eggs from a farm that I have been buying from know the chickens well THEIR SO SWEET !!! Some have babies now!!!
Being a student of Patara is the best overall practice, learn from the best everytime 🥰‼️
I have very strong memories of my Nana at the stove all day on her day where she would pickle and can her eggs. She lived with us growing up. All of us would stay outside that entire day to avoid the smell lol.
Ohh giiirl I forgot about the strawberries in the pool. I actually bought the pool for corn "bags"! So guess I better go get another pool for the strawberry roots I got🤦🤦. My husband put me another raised bed in that would probably be perfect for the berries but am thinking of doing cucumbers in it because it's up against our carport but there's just enough room for me to slide a piece of old lattice in there for climbing plants👍. I've gotten WAY more ambitious with my gardening this year...and will be my first time wet canning when things start coming in because the freezers are full!! My spare room in the back of the house AND on the back side of the house (doesn't get as much sun heat) is my "pantry". We cleared out some stuff this week so another shelving unit can be added for storage👍..looks like DG in there😄
Thank you so much for this info. I’m only a two year chicken mama and this process will be great for times to come.
🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
Me too, but chick lets (as my friend calls them) are only 4 weeks old.
I redid my eggs today with float test. And clean water and fresh lime. These eggs are almost two yrs in 1 gal jar. I don't know how to post a pic. But I only had 4 eggs just starting to tip up a fraction, so I tossed them.
Smaller batch's makes great sense!!
While I'm not able to waterglass any eggs, as I can't get the super fresh farm eggs. But, it's awesome to understand the principles behind it. I'm always learning so much from you. I thank you Patara, and I hope you had a blessed Mothers Day as well! ❤️
This....I needed this . My chickens are laying more than I can keep up with . Thanks for sharing
It’s super hard to get the eggs point down, especially the bottom. I am using 1/2 gallon ball jars which is enough for me to lift. Thank you for all the info you give here! I mix the lime and water in one jar, start my bottom layer of eggs in the empty jar and pour enough to cover them without making them move from their position. I then shake the remaining water/lime and fill the egg jar almost to the brim. All dated with a marker because with my luck the sticky notes will somehow go missing lol
Use painters tape instead of
Did a bunch more today. This is year 6 doing this and it works great. I only have a small backyard flock but put up a lot of them.
Have I mentioned what an awesome public service you're providing, Patara? Sheesh! You help spread knowledge:) THANK YOU!!!!!
Morning, Patera!! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's day ❤ This was very interesting, thanks for sharing 💜
I hope you had a great Mother's day! God bless you all! God bless America!
Happy Mother's day to you! I just started water glassing our eggs and excited about the idea of preserving them so I don't have to buy eggs in the winter anymore. Thanks so much for your videos, they are so helpful and entertaining!
My water glass eggs were done just like yours. The last of them were just over 8 months old and they were watery. They were good enough for baking and scrambled.
OMG! Girl!!! I just made 3, 1/2 gallon of those eggs….BEFORE I watched your video 😂 how awesome!!! I have done this in the past & ate the eggs AFTER 6 months, they taste the same!!! I love farm fresh eggs!
Thank you Patara, your videos are inspirational and make my day! Much love from England x
Soooo glad you mentioned weight. Those eggs over time can crush each other. Sooo glad you mentioned it.
I don't have chickens and I don't have fresh eggs, but boy is it nice to get an education. Maybe I can help someone else out. God Bless, Patara.
I use the one gallon jars myself, I agree that anything larger can get very heavy and more prone to an accident. We like to leave a gallon jar on the counter and just grab what we need, the rest stay in the basement.
Thank you, Patara for talking about smaller caches of these preserved eggs. I had to learn the hard way with a 5 gallon bucket and had to start over!
I learned to use small containers the hard way as well. Finally used glass gallon size last year and made it so much easier.
I will be trying quart jars for now. Have some gallon jars on standby
I'm with you when it comes to size of the container. We get 1 gallon pickle jars from friends. Perfect size not only for storing and carrying to the pantry but it's easier to find a place to store a 1 gallon jar verses the larger size buckets. Thanks for another great video!
I agree with you about the five gallon buckets.
Thank you for this. I did the 5 gallon bucket last year, I had 1 egg crack and I tossed the whole batch. So I ordered 1 gallon jars for this year. Wish I had seen this last year.
Patara when you bent down beside the bowl of eggs.. You became Bill Nye the science guy! That is first thing I thought of. NOT that you look like him, but your approach to explaining. I love it!! Love this channel.
Hit all the things my so has asked me about. Water glassing and potatoes in 5gal. buckets. He lives in Northern Illinois, and was hoping it wasnt to late to start potatoes. My sons son is trying to be as self sustaining as possible. They live together and plan and execute these plans together. Thank you so much Patara. Simple, staight forward everytime.
Loved your informative video on water glassing eggs. We took notes. We have one question: Once the initial stirring of the compound is done and eggs are being placed in the container... does the settling of the lime diminish the water-glassing quality of the lime-water solution. (i.e. -- does the water still have enough lime in it to protect the eggs?)
The pickling lime I ordered should be in today. I’m putting them in a plastic 5 gallon bucket with a snap on lid. I’m going to keep them stored in the basement. I’ll go down and grab eggs as I need them. Hope that works!
I've been doing this a few years. I haven't found it makes any difference which way the eggs are facing, I just drop them in gently, let them land where they land. I even twist the jar back and forth gently as I add more eggs to stir up the lime a bit and the eggs adjust themselves. And yes, 1st year I did a 3 gallon pail, no good, too heavy, plus you end up eating the oldest eggs last. I prefer to eat oldest to newest. At 1 year, they were still good, no issue. Mine, I could cook anyway but hard boiled, many of those broke in my steamer, so I don't use them for hard boiled. All else though, no issue.
You are so clear and accurate! Thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I didn't know it was picking lime used to glass the eggs, thanks for the pic. Excellent info as always. God bless 🙏🏼
Wow lots of information especially the 24 hour egg ,did not have a clue...thank you for sharing ..
I have never heard of this in my life and I’m 73 years old and born and raised in South xEastern Kentucky!!!
Thank you for the insight. Planning on water glassing soon, and the thought of a 5 gal bucket was a little daunting for my disabled body.
Same ! I will be using my half gallon jars
Patara, thank you for simplicity and making things less stressful! God bless you and your family!! Xo
Great video, great tips, great energy. Watching from NW Montana. This Bama boy learned something new.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day, good day Patara, you go girl!
Started water glassing my quail eggs last week and it's been a few days since I've been able to get clean eggs with all this rain. So I understand where you're coming from.
Amazing.that eggs can be stored that way.❤️
I never heard of this before. Im a newbie. So use only fresh farm eggs?
Good morning everyone hope you all had a great weekend and a great mother's day
I have to carry 4 to 5 gallons of water at a time so the 5 gallon buckets work well for us. I only put 40 eggs in mine and half full of water. I can see the bottom row of eggs so I can keep an eye on them for if they brake. Definitely works for whatever you! Love your videos!
Best video as usual with simple and easy to follow instructions. You are right on about using the smaller containers. There is another video with someone using a 5 gallon bucket. A year later they opened it and one egg had cracked and ruined the entire bucket of eggs...
Very interesting. My granddaughter has a around 6 hens and so does my daughter. I just thought this was so interesting if they want to start saving their eggs. Thank you Patara 👍🏼& God Bless 🙏🏼
I totally agree with you on the size of your container. A small disaster is way better than a huge desaster if some thing goes wrong
Love it when you said "just knock it off" watched the second time and laughed again. 🤣😂🥰
Thank you for all the time you take to give us your videos.
It makes sense to me, to store the water glassed eggs in a container that isn't so heavy and bulky
So thankful for your channel. Been doing the best I can to prep my pantry here in OH. Wish I had seen the ‘strawberry pool’ before my hubby made a section in the garden to grow our strawberries 🍓. It’s my 1st time. Shared this video with my nephew& his girlfriend. They have chickens & ducks. God bless you Patera!!
i went n got the stuff to do my eggs. was getting ready to look thru ur videos for the glassing and dang if u did not read my mind ty soo much for all u do it keeps me going in a positive direction
MOST EXCELLENT yt channel!👍 👌🏼👍 I either lose(adhesive) post it notes or something happens to them while I'm checking my eyelids for leaks. Perm marker straight on the container/lid seal etc. Strike through when used up.
Painters tape
Patara has copper whiskers that is some next level gourmet stuff.
Got it at a local, rural Food Lion. Never knew that was gourmet... lolol
Thank you for this lovely positive video! Loved seeing your plants!
Perfect explanation of water glassing. Thank you!
Thank you. This is my next project on my list.
