Here in the Republic of Ireland there is a traditional Market in Cork City called "The English Market" so called because of it's use by the British Navy in the days when Ireland was occupied by the British. Salted & smoked fish and meats and BUTTERED EGGS were traded here for provisions on board the sailing ships. Buttered eggs are freshly laid eggs coated with salty freshly churned butter which not only keeps the eggs fresher for months (if stored in a cool dark place) but it also imparts a subtle buttery flavour the the eggs when cooked.
@@WTU208 sadly not surprised but as you know the people running your government are globalist and antiwestern kind and I hear young Irish families are leaving and going to Australia which seems reminiscent of the Irish famine which had little to do with potatoes and mainly to do with taking all the other food that you produced to supply the British Navy and their system and having many Irish come to my country and building America while being treated very badly and yet surviving as the Irish always have and must ...so I say blessings to my Irish cousins and blessings to you and yours
Water-glassed eggs are only good for up to 2 years. The lime actually thins the shells and right around year two, they shells come apart and you end up with a bucket of yuck. NOTE: If you water-glass your egg, they can't be hard boiled. They WILL blow up because the shells are thinned. But outside of that, this is great. They have to be fresh and UNWASHED or they will spoil.
Thank you very much for clarifying they should be UNWASHED. It’s quite an important part of the instructions being left out! I’m assuming it applies to the other methods, like oiling and vinegar bath. Painful listening to this video rambling and not putting out the necessary facts🤦🏼♀️
I know that one of the tricks used by smarter settlers moving across the USA during the Gold Rush, was to take barrels, pour very hot melted tallow into it and start placing eggs into it. The hot tallow (rendered fat) would sterilize and cook the eggs as well as seal them. After filling the barrel with eggs and hot tallow, it was sealed until needed. If they were needed, they had food. After they reached the west coast, a several month journey, they could sell the excess hard boiled eggs to miners at a great profit. They did take their chickens with them on the journey.

Ive never heard of preserving for as long as 15 years. Mostly we store to get thru the winter when the hens slow down their production. Its important to understand that preservation only works with farm fresh UNWASHED eggs that still have the invisible protective bloom intact. Pickling Lime also call Contractors Lime or Slate Lime is used one quart of water to one ounce by weight of lime mixed well and cover unwashed eggs safely for two years. Always store your eggs pointed end down.

Slaked lime is ground limestone that has been heated to remove the water content. We slake our thirst with water. THANK YOU for calling it pickling lime---canners would recognize that when making pickles. And also, thank you for mentioning "pointed end down".

I am not Amish but have much respect for them & the way they live for family. I did though grow up on a farm many, many miles from the nearest grocery store. I remember my mother using this technique to save & store the eggs we collected from our own chickens. It worked an absolute treat & we had eggs all year round. ❤
So for about four years now, I’ve been preserving eggs by putting them in pickling lime same method as they’re talking about here after two years you’ll find that these are more for scrambling eggs, putting in casserole, putting them in some kind of recipe. They still taste great another thing that I’ve done along with this after two years I decided I wanted to dehydrate them and make egg powder to use do one tablespoon egg powder, 2 tablespoons of water let it sit for a little bit to reconstitute the egg and cook as usual.
@@hightide3483 The structure of the egg, white and yolk, break down and they are runny. I scramble them, but I'm sure they would do well in cooking, as in casseroles or cookies or cakes. Haven't tried that yet. I wish the YTer would say more about how the Amish keep them for 15 years, do they just do the lime bath method or what.
dip them in concentrated salt water, then coat in very finely ground charcoal powder, if still wet the charcoal will stick to it easily - ancient Persian technique
And as we know the system is going after the Amish and anyone who is practicing self-sufficiency chickens you name it blessings to you all from Southern Oregon
When a chicken lays an egg the shell is coated with a enzyme to help the chicken lay the egg more easily...store bought eggs are washed and that protective enzyme is washed of which exposes the pores in the shell to bacteria that quickly invades the shell so the egg begns spoiling as soon as it's washed, then the bacteria is just trapped inside the egg where it continues to grow...after washing, the egg degrading speeds up depending on the environmental conditions...
I mean it was illegal to have chickens where I am for awhile. But it's not anymore. We have chickens. 3 of our neighbors do. We live in a growing small town in the south. They definitely going after the Amish. I'm on the fence cause some people up to no good and use God to cover their tracks.

Lime water (water glassing) it only keeps them for about 2 years i have had chickens for about 12 years i started to water glass about 4 years in . . Mineral oil doesn't work as well.. Half as good as water glassing...never tried vinegar..Hydrated lime is what you need ( pickling lime ) 1 ounce by weight per quart of water i place my eggs in a food grade bucket and keep it in the basement around 70 degrees or lower i never keep them past 2 years you will lose at the 2 year time about 50 percent of the eggs also you will fine that the yolk protein breaks down for myself at about 4 months it became weak and the yolk would break so you will only have scrambled or omlites .. i started to do this because the chickens do not lay very many eggs in winter it is cut in half. I tried extra lighting but they starting dieing from the stress of less sleep most likely heart attacks. Pickleing lime works great....i also found the amount of eggs that each bread lays isn't what the claim.. I have black astrolorpes ,Rhode Island reds , Easter eggers ,silver death layer cochen .. good luck on storing your eggs...
I would like some advice from you because I kept the eggs in lime water and they spoiled after only a month or two. I found them black on the inside and had a bad smell. Do you know the reason?
@@theendalarm243they can't be store bought, the narrator fails to mention there is a bloom on fresh eggs that protects them, u can leave them out on counter for up to 10-12 days,,, but u can ONLY waterless fresh eggs from your hens
Please explain I'm actually curious.I would think the egg industry would spray the shells with cheap and edible paraffin wax to seal them? Makes sense?I was going to try some techniques. I have been around chickens on farms. My parents neighbors kept chickens but gave up because of predators. Dogs and a rifle couldn't stop them. Nasty creatures that kill for fun not food.
@chriscarrol9373 it's because once eggs are going to the grocery store, they're washed wich takes off a natural barrier that is on it from the chicken.
I was taught to only lime fresh unwashed barnyard eggs because they still have the bloom on them store bought eggs have had it removed and the lime isn't good on eggs with no bloon
I moved in Philippines afew years back , at the beginning of the pandemic i bought a small land in the mountains of luzon and moved there no bils simole Life a litle cash go a long way 😊my onlie bill is literally 5 euro internet bill . Grow my one food Have some animals including chicken. Wen i started to have fresh eggs i notice they are still good iven ufter 1 month not being in the fridge. I dont have fridge And all i did it was never cleen the eggs store them just like you get them from the coop. Ufter i watch this video o remember haw my grandma back in europe used to prepare the meat for my grampa and last for weaks . Hi was a truck driver My grandma used to frie his meat then put it in a big jar and fill the jar with pig fet. It will last for his entire jurnie of 2 3 weaks . It can last way longer than that .
@@sashascarface I live in a desert area of Usa. It is my 1st DRY climate place plus 5500' altitude. My eggs dry out more than spoil on counter...tho I will adjust and continue counter storage. Dry goods go "off" fast also. Lol. 3 years I still am learning here. After 60+ of living w. Humidity. Haha.
@theoldguy1956 You want pickling lime. It is in a white powder form. Sometimes, you see it in the canning isles in grocery stores, or it can be ordered from Amazon.
I’m 65 and I remember going to my grand mother’s house in Austria and seeing all these eggs in jars which they would have obviously the storage with liquid in it that’s awesome
I have used mineral oil on my store-bought eggs for a few years now. I oil them good return them to the box and store it in a cool dark place. They have lasted a couple of months. I have only run across two or three that have gone bad. Once I get the eggs home, I opened the box and just let them sit on the table and let them warm up. They will sweat can I let them sit until they are dry. Once they're dry I rubbed them down with the mineral oil
I had 8 dozen unwashed, fresh eggs and did this. After 2 years in the cool dark closet, I found the taste is good. The problem I had was the yoke sticking to the shell.
My mother peserved eggs with water glass in the 1960s... It was a common method to preserve eggs as until the 1970s as we did not have big egg farms in Austria at that times and eggs were not available in bigger quantities in the cold months.
If you're thinking about sny of these methods.... they only store up to 2 years! Make sure you use pickling lime and Fresh eggs that Haven't Bern washed! It will not work with store bought eggs!
wow, the amish are so smart, they stick to good processes and try to maintain loyal to the right way of maintaining life. alot of the food i eat, especially the dairy or has dairy ingredients harm my body, along with the processed foods. its to the point where the food is killing.

Also, vinegar storing methods will help with bringing your blood sugar back down. I love cucumbers soaked in vinegar w/ cracked pepper and a dash of salt sprinkled on them! Best summer treat for those hot, humid nights here in Georgia! There was a health article I read that had mentioned this benefit about vinegar.
A local store had a big sale twice a year. Each time…I bought an entire case..which was about 50 dozen. I wrapped each box, so they couldn’t absorb refrigerator odors. That case would just about last the 6 months until I got my next case. Of course, instead of the regular price..they were only .50 a box. So..store bought, washed white eggs..lasts at least 6 months if done right. I have pickled them, as well, and they last a long time. Would love to try pickling and canning them.
I did that after getting 2 Cases from a wrecked Transport! I started Buying Eggs by the Case! Now I have Duck's that are Egg Laying Machine's! I'll have to Boil and peel them and Pickle them as their generally dirtier than Chicken Eggs!
Some of my grandmother's sisters raised chickens and a whole lot of eggs. There were always eggs and very cheap chickens for family. Other family on all sides of my relatives grew or raised almost anything. Some was limited to mostly sale to market and not shared as much, other things were shared or everyone grew and canned or stored. Food was good. I even barely recall aunts and uncles to my one set of grandparents, they lived to an old age eating what they raised, traded, gathered, fished, or hunted. Scary thing this year was the reports of the government destroying bee hives. Enough so that despite having an almost perfect growing season, the garden produced nothing which depends on bees or butterflies for pollination. Might be needing to utilize our forest and field rustic home sooner than later. Sadly, the old neighbor(s) have passed on and been long since their beef and dairy was sold off. Well, if the property sits idle, lot of grazing for deer and other stuff as well as areas for ducks and geese and pheasants, partridge, rabbit, bear, and other things wander without touching the weird stuff like skunk or beaver. Berries wild, but only with rain and pollination. A small spring but not sure where it's from, useful though i dare not drink it without filtering and treating water from that "pool". Can't rely on nature to support us if the masses are hungry and poaching. Trespassing can't be tolerated.
A fresh layed egg, unwashed will keep for 3 to 4 weeks without refrigeration. Oiled or limed eggs can keep for years. Never heard of that vinegar method. I'll stick with the lime or oil, I know that works. I like pickled hard boiled eggs and have eaten them 3 years after they were pickled but usually they don't last that long around my house. I once made 10 dozen pickled eggs which I thought would last a year, they were gone in 3 months. I prefer to have everything I store up in rodent and insect proof containers.
You may have had the vinegar method without knowing it; but in hard boiled form. Many Easter egg dying kits involve using vinegar as a medium to dye the colorful little eggs that are typically left out of refrigeration afterwards.
I just did the water glass test.. I used pickling lime and water .. unwashed fresh eggs .. I just opened them after 6months and omg they are amazing .. I am very happy and will be doing more
the most common trick in Europe is to boil the eggs 7-10min and then put right away into Sodium-Silicate solution. So we did in the 1950ies to about 1963 when private refrigerators came up. Sodium-silcate is cheap, as it is used for construction work. Seals concrete etc.
@@1truthseeking8 I dont know exactly because we never tried to test the limit. But 6 months was generally assumed and we consumed them within about 3-4 months
I water glass my fresh farm eggs for past few years... Yes it'll keep for a year but after that they start to spoil one by one. Also if put a whole raw egg in vinegar the shell will dissolve but you can hard boil in vinegar.
True. In food manufacturing plants inspectors do not want mineral oil sprayed around filling machines for lubrication purposes. Did that for years though until prohibited.
@@skyeagle3123Lubricants in the food industry are labeled a certain way as indicating food grade. The grease is designated a similar way--kitchen mixers use that specifically. There could a magical biofilm that never could be permeated ever, I guess. The Romans used lead liners for water aqueducts and biofilms formed and protected them from the detriment some. I am sure that the egg would be consumable but not much else. There a study done once by a baby food manufacturer that studied the contamination of banana products. Within the processed banana puree itself the detrimental stuff would not affect the banana portion at all. Don't try that at home, please. I'm more concerned about micro plastics being in everyone's bloodstream than finding a mineral oil trace on an egg. Regards.
@@mcswato1 Got it, and totally agree with you on the micro plastics, and what people don't know about top soils their buying at their local garden centers. And the think it safe to grow your own veggies, I was completely shock when I found out about it, And don't get me started on Chem Trails, Am sure you know about that if knowing about micro plastics, Am glad to see others who know whats going on. And people wondering why we're seeing more and more illnesses.
In the 1950's, my aunt used to live on a small farm near Partingtion UK. She has hens and kept her eggs coated in vaseline through winter. She didn't try for longer than 2 years because the hens started to lay again in spring and it usually wasn't necessary to keep them longer than 12 - 18 months., Another method she had heard about but didn't use ("Too fiddly" she said), was to put them in isinglass solution. I din't know what isinglass was, but have since found out that it is a sort of seaweed jelly.
I have hens and tried this a year ago, with slake lime. Out of 12 I've used so far, only 1 was bad. Your video helped me to prevent that next time, thank you!!😊
I read it was hydrated lime mixed with water...not the fruit lime......Water Glassing Eggs: How To Ingredients and Equipment 3-gallon food-grade bucket 5 ounces hydrated lime (pickling lime) 5 quarts distilled water or natural spring water fresh eggs, clean and unwashed
In fairness, I agree with your point. However, it does not negate the “fact” that preserving fresh eggs is indeed possible. I opened the comment section to make your very point.
0:53 This is one of the downsides to RUclips, everyone wants to put up content so badly, they post 1 minute of information over 30 minutes and don't even know what they are talking about. That is not the citrus lime, it is the alkaline mineral lime. That's worth a "Don't recommend channel".
Actually in most cities you can keep chickens in your yard. Alot have bylaws against roosters. They are not necessary. Just like a woman doesn't need a husband to have monthly cycles. The rooster is only there to produce offspring.
One thing you can do if you can only get your eggs from the grocery store is dehydrate them make an egg powder. Yes, you would only be able to have scrambled eggs or eggs that you put into casseroles or cakes, etc. the way to use them is it’s 1 tablespoon egg powder to 2 tablespoons of water that sit for a minute or so to reconstitute the egg then cook as usual,they are delicious..
Yes, you need fresh, unwashed eggs to preserve them. Unpasteurized milk will keep several weeks in the fridge fresh from the farm. The enzymes in the uncooked milk are alive and well and keep it good for a long time.
I’m from Sweden and the eggs in the shops are on a shelf, not in a cold area. Personally I buy my eggs from a farmer so my eggs are fresher than the ones in the shop. I’m going to oil my eggs from now on to make them stay fresh longer 😊
Mum, used to preserve eggs, with petroleum jelly, specifically formulated as egg preserver. Wax, was on the harder cheeses, or sats of varois types. Even the vegetables, were preserved in jars, with a pickling liquor, with or without spices - the veg, were always blanched. Fruit, was also preserved, as slices, or jelly, or, jam . There may have been more ways, including the layer of fat on some savoury items.
I have put fresh eggs in the freezer. When I take them out, I crack like normal, and they cook up a fine. no, the egg does not crack when frozen. thaw first and then use
As an experiment it tried the lime soak and it worked well. Downside is that the yolks will stick and break when cracking and you do get a slight chem taste after a few months. I think I had mine in the bucket for a year. This was a few years back. .
Its called bloom. The chicken coats the egg in the channel where it comes out. That preserves the egg but factories wash it off. Also store eggs with the bum up. Point down round end up (thats where the air bubble is) I did once eat an egg that was old but still smelled good and I was sick for three days. Had to vomit a few times and the trots for a day. Weak for a day. Yeah that was an experience.
Many thanks for your presentation. I know for sure with the lime preserved eggs the eggs must be “unwashed. “ And you really need to stress that more! Use fresh unwashed eggs!
@FrugalSolutions I read that bread on U-Boats would mold quickly, so they dipped their bread twice in a lime slurry, baked it again, and then they could send it to the sub, where it would last for months unmolded. I have looked for years for the slurry recipe, but the ability to store baked bread for months would seem to be a deep dark secret...
I freeze dry mine. With the powder I make from them, I can use them for everything pretty much except for dunky fried eggs. And store them without any refrigeration.
Like our skin anything on the shell also penetrates the egg. lime and mineral oil are not fit for consumption. Bees wax would also work, as they use for bananas.
When in Europe I noticed that eggs are not refrigerated in the stores or in people's homes. Fresh eggs have a cuticle or "bloom" that keeps them from spoiling. Washing removes the cuticle, and then they have to be refrigerated.
I’ve been dehydrating my fresh eggs for storage, and if vacuum-sealed in a mason jar, they can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years. I might have to try this glass method too!
Thank you for this most interesting video. I subscribed. Question do you put the mineral oil covered eggs in the fridge can you keep them unrefrigerated?
Pretty sure everyone with chickens knows that the chickens themselves coat the eggs to seal them from rot. If you wash your eggs then you remove this coating, but if you don't wash them then they will last about a month without refrigeration. Not as long as some of these other methods, but you don't have to do anything (assuming you have your own chickens).
This can work for a season or up to a year, but it's hit or miss. My mother's family did this with their eggs for the time when the hens were mounting and it was ok. I've done it as well, and it's useful, but don't expect this to last for years.
Uncontaminated eggs are actually safe to eat for months. What the oil does is keep them from drying out. For people who don't have a seasonal massive surplus of eggs like homesteaders would have and space to store them in, the solution is to just eat more eggs so they don't get old in your refrigerator. Eggs are good for you.
I have been doing lime water for 3 years with my. chicken eggs. Up to 7 or 8 months the eggs cook like fresh eggs from i tobe 12 months the whites get watery, but will still fry scramble and bake. Would like to try the oil or.d. vinegar
Grocery store in the UK maintain the temperature of their stores and this is strictly regulated. Homes tend to have temperature fluctuations that is why we (in t(e UK) need to refrigerate our eggs.
I'm in the UK. I never refrigerate my eggs and they last weeks or months. (With older eggs the yolks tend to break easily, still fine for omelettes and cakes but no good if you like them fried sunny side up. I personally assume that, if the inside of the egg is not a funny colour or smelling of sulfur, it is not "off". Although freshest eggs taste best.) In the UK, stores keep eggs at room temperature because the suppliers have not washed the eggs so germs have not been washed into the egg through the porous shell. You don't need to put them in the fridge when you get home, unless you want to. Some sources recommend that you do not refrigerate eggs. In the USA, eggs have been washed before they reach the stores, which could have let germs in, so they must be refrigerated from then on. Comments here suggest that these preservation methods shown in the video will not work for store-bought eggs, only those straight from the chicken. (I still might try the buttered idea, though, to see if it will slightly extend storage time on my store-bought eggs. Just for curiosity's sake!)
The narrator Fails to mention, You can only water glass Fresh eggs from your hens, they have a Bloom/ protective coating on them,,you can NOT do store bought eggs
If you don’t wash eggs after they’re laid they will last 3 months . When eggs are washed there is a coating from the hen that is like a natural preservative coating that is removed.
Fresh eggs, normally last two weeks out of the fridge, because when the chicken lays one a day until she gets ready to sit the first egg has to stay fresh or they would not hatch, I hate to say it, but that’s common sense. That is the same with turkey eggs, guinea eggs, duck eggs, pheasants, quails all poetry. Water glass, and is usually the best way to preserve, long-term. But you have to do it the right way yes, we need to learn the old way just for sake of history. if you freeze dry them, they will last up to 25 years preserved in the right bags.

I had never heard of that! Interesting.
Smart idea! Good butter where are the cows have been exposed to sunlight means that the butter will be very high in vitamin D3.
Bet they were highly disappointed when they tried them if this is actually true lol
It is very true! And no they were not disappointed....🙄
@@mujaku I will try this method, butter is one of my favorite food groups!!
I am not Amish but have much respect for them & the way they live for family. I did though grow up on a farm many, many miles from the nearest grocery store. I remember my mother using this technique to save & store the eggs we collected from our own chickens. It worked an absolute treat & we had eggs all year round. ❤
So for about four years now, I’ve been preserving eggs by putting them in pickling lime same method as they’re talking about here after two years you’ll find that these are more for scrambling eggs, putting in casserole, putting them in some kind of recipe. They still taste great another thing that I’ve done along with this after two years I decided I wanted to dehydrate them and make egg powder to use do one tablespoon egg powder, 2 tablespoons of water let it sit for a little bit to reconstitute the egg and cook as usual.
@@leahbaker1724 I've been thinking of doing that, too. Dehydrating them. I have done the lime method before.
What happens to them that they should be scrambled? Is it runny or yoke broke?
@@hightide3483 The structure of the egg, white and yolk, break down and they are runny. I scramble them, but I'm sure they would do well in cooking, as in casseroles or cookies or cakes. Haven't tried that yet. I wish the YTer would say more about how the Amish keep them for 15 years, do they just do the lime bath method or what.
This is something cool to do, I'll be giving it a try
@bonniegarber how did it work out for you what's good about it and what's bad??
dip them in concentrated salt water, then coat in very finely ground charcoal powder, if still wet the charcoal will stick to it easily - ancient Persian technique
I wonder how long the egg would stay fresh. Of course, a dry climate would help. Thank you for relating this method!
Do they still have to be unwashed for this method,?
And as we know the system is going after the Amish and anyone who is practicing self-sufficiency chickens you name it blessings to you all from Southern Oregon
When a chicken lays an egg the shell is coated with a enzyme to help the chicken lay the egg more easily...store bought eggs are washed and that protective enzyme is washed of which exposes the pores in the shell to bacteria that quickly invades the shell so the egg begns spoiling as soon as it's washed, then the bacteria is just trapped inside the egg where it continues to grow...after washing, the egg degrading speeds up depending on the environmental conditions...
@@F-4PhantomIIgathering eggs many are covered with chicken manure. Got to wash them.
I mean it was illegal to have chickens where I am for awhile. But it's not anymore. We have chickens. 3 of our neighbors do. We live in a growing small town in the south. They definitely going after the Amish. I'm on the fence cause some people up to no good and use God to cover their tracks.
Wy would they go after the amish?
@@in.harmony.with.nature corporations try to pass laws to make people consumers.

Lime water (water glassing) it only keeps them for about 2 years i have had chickens for about 12 years i started to water glass about 4 years in . . Mineral oil doesn't work as well..
Half as good as water glassing...never tried vinegar..Hydrated lime is what you need ( pickling lime ) 1 ounce by weight per quart of water i place my eggs in a food grade bucket and keep it in the basement around 70 degrees or lower i never keep them past 2 years you will lose at the 2 year time about 50 percent of the eggs also you will fine that the yolk protein breaks down for myself at about 4 months it became weak and the yolk would break so you will only have scrambled or omlites .. i started to do this because the chickens do not lay very many eggs in winter it is cut in half. I tried extra lighting but they starting dieing from the stress of less sleep most likely heart attacks.
Pickleing lime works great....i also found the amount of eggs that each bread lays isn't what the claim..
I have black astrolorpes ,Rhode Island reds , Easter eggers ,silver death layer cochen .. good luck on storing your eggs...
Accurate testimony. I found the same results as you. There is no way an egg will last a decade.

Please explain I'm actually curious.I would think the egg industry would spray the shells with cheap and edible paraffin wax to seal them? Makes sense?I was going to try some techniques. I have been around chickens on farms. My parents neighbors kept chickens but gave up because of predators. Dogs and a rifle couldn't stop them. Nasty creatures that kill for fun not food.
@@chriscarrol9373 Apples are sprayed with wax for retail sale, but eggs are not.
Exactly!
@chriscarrol9373 it's because once eggs are going to the grocery store, they're washed wich takes off a natural barrier that is on it from the chicken.
@@WarwickProud69ever raise chickens? Some eggs are really nasty. I always wash eggs. I don’t want eggs with chicken manure all over them
I was taught to only lime fresh unwashed barnyard eggs because they still have the bloom on them store bought eggs have had it removed and the lime isn't good on eggs with no bloon
Makes the contents taste like lime and within a very short period of time, the eggs rot if not unwashed first.

I have used mineral oil on my store-bought eggs for a few years now. I oil them good return them to the box and store it in a cool dark place. They have lasted a couple of months. I have only run across two or three that have gone bad. Once I get the eggs home, I opened the box and just let them sit on the table and let them warm up. They will sweat can I let them sit until they are dry. Once they're dry I rubbed them down with the mineral oil
I had 8 dozen unwashed, fresh eggs and did this. After 2 years in the cool dark closet, I found the taste is good. The problem I had was the yoke sticking to the shell.
@@jackel61-007 ew..
I did mine for 2 years,but I had no sticking. They are delicious still.
Turn them
My mother peserved eggs with water glass in the 1960s... It was a common method to preserve eggs as until the 1970s as we did not have big egg farms in Austria at that times and eggs were not available in bigger quantities in the cold months.
Love this, so proud of this beautiful Omish. They make such awesome furniture.❤❤❤
If you're thinking about sny of these methods.... they only store up to 2 years!
Make sure you use pickling lime and Fresh eggs that Haven't Bern washed! It will not work with store bought eggs!

Also, vinegar storing methods will help with bringing your blood sugar back down. I love cucumbers soaked in vinegar w/ cracked pepper and a dash of salt sprinkled on them! Best summer treat for those hot, humid nights here in Georgia! There was a health article I read that had mentioned this benefit about vinegar.
A local store had a big sale twice a year. Each time…I bought an entire case..which was about 50 dozen. I wrapped each box, so they couldn’t absorb refrigerator odors. That case would just about last the 6 months until I got my next case. Of course, instead of the regular price..they were only .50 a box. So..store bought, washed white eggs..lasts at least 6 months if done right. I have pickled them, as well, and they last a long time. Would love to try pickling and canning them.
I did that after getting 2 Cases from a wrecked Transport! I started Buying Eggs by the Case! Now I have Duck's that are Egg Laying Machine's! I'll have to Boil and peel them and Pickle them as their generally dirtier than Chicken Eggs!
Some of my grandmother's sisters raised chickens and a whole lot of eggs. There were always eggs and very cheap chickens for family. Other family on all sides of my relatives grew or raised almost anything. Some was limited to mostly sale to market and not shared as much, other things were shared or everyone grew and canned or stored. Food was good. I even barely recall aunts and uncles to my one set of grandparents, they lived to an old age eating what they raised, traded, gathered, fished, or hunted. Scary thing this year was the reports of the government destroying bee hives. Enough so that despite having an almost perfect growing season, the garden produced nothing which depends on bees or butterflies for pollination. Might be needing to utilize our forest and field rustic home sooner than later. Sadly, the old neighbor(s) have passed on and been long since their beef and dairy was sold off. Well, if the property sits idle, lot of grazing for deer and other stuff as well as areas for ducks and geese and pheasants, partridge, rabbit, bear, and other things wander without touching the weird stuff like skunk or beaver. Berries wild, but only with rain and pollination. A small spring but not sure where it's from, useful though i dare not drink it without filtering and treating water from that "pool". Can't rely on nature to support us if the masses are hungry and poaching. Trespassing can't be tolerated.
True. Sad, but true.
A fresh layed egg, unwashed will keep for 3 to 4 weeks without refrigeration. Oiled or limed eggs can keep for years. Never heard of that vinegar method. I'll stick with the lime or oil, I know that works. I like pickled hard boiled eggs and have eaten them 3 years after they were pickled but usually they don't last that long around my house. I once made 10 dozen pickled eggs which I thought would last a year, they were gone in 3 months. I prefer to have everything I store up in rodent and insect proof containers.
Do you do this with store bought eggs in the U.S. ?
@@currentfaves65 NO
can you use regular oil, like cooking/canola oil??
Do you wash it before oiling or liming?
@@lexiemiller7783 : NO. Never wash. Do not wash the bloom (cuticle) from the egg.
You may have had the vinegar method without knowing it; but in hard boiled form. Many Easter egg dying kits involve using vinegar as a medium to dye the colorful little eggs that are typically left out of refrigeration afterwards.
Oh yeah... old school dyed eggs!
I just did the water glass test.. I used pickling lime and water .. unwashed fresh eggs .. I just opened them after 6months and omg they are amazing .. I am very happy and will be doing more
the most common trick in Europe is to boil the eggs 7-10min and then put right away into Sodium-Silicate solution. So we did in the 1950ies to about 1963 when private refrigerators came up. Sodium-silcate is cheap, as it is used for construction work. Seals concrete etc.
How long did they last that way?
@@1truthseeking8 I dont know exactly because we never tried to test the limit. But 6 months was generally assumed and we consumed them within about 3-4 months
We can learn so so much from them. I’m for one going to learn.
I water glass my fresh farm eggs for past few years... Yes it'll keep for a year but after that they start to spoil one by one. Also if put a whole raw egg in vinegar the shell will dissolve but you can hard boil in vinegar.
In Australia we use a product called Keep Egg, which is a grease like vaseline
Haven’t heard of keep egg product..?.? Pls tell more about it.. & where to buy it..
Never heard of it? Where do I buy it? Interested to try.

My brother gave me some. He picked it up at the feed store. It was a small jar about half the size of baby food jar.
My grandmother was born 1915 used Vaseline
paraffin works well too, we used it sailing long distance.
Mineral oil is a petroleum byproduct. I wouldn’t use it but would try some of the others.
True. In food manufacturing plants inspectors do not want mineral oil sprayed around filling machines for lubrication purposes. Did that for years though until prohibited.
Help me understand where your coming from, you're eating the egg not the shells ??
@@skyeagle3123Lubricants in the food industry are labeled a certain way as indicating food grade. The grease is designated a similar way--kitchen mixers use that specifically.
There could a magical biofilm that never could be permeated ever, I guess. The Romans used lead liners for water aqueducts and biofilms formed and protected them from the detriment some. I am sure that the egg would be consumable but not much else. There a study done once by a baby food manufacturer that studied the contamination of banana products. Within the processed banana puree itself the detrimental stuff would not affect the banana portion at all. Don't try that at home, please. I'm more concerned about micro plastics being in everyone's bloodstream than finding a mineral oil trace on an egg. Regards.
@@mcswato1 Got it, and totally agree with you on the micro plastics, and what people don't know about top soils their buying at their local garden centers. And the think it safe to grow your own veggies, I was completely shock when I found out about it, And don't get me started on Chem Trails, Am sure you know about that if knowing about micro plastics, Am glad to see others who know whats going on. And people wondering why we're seeing more and more illnesses.
Mineral oil is safe.
Thankyou for great reporting here!! 😊
In the 1950's, my aunt used to live on a small farm near Partingtion UK. She has hens and kept her eggs coated in vaseline through winter. She didn't try for longer than 2 years because the hens started to lay again in spring and it usually wasn't necessary to keep them longer than 12 - 18 months., Another method she had heard about but didn't use ("Too fiddly" she said), was to put them in isinglass solution. I din't know what isinglass was, but have since found out that it is a sort of seaweed jelly.
I have hens and tried this a year ago, with slake lime. Out of 12 I've used so far, only 1 was bad. Your video helped me to prevent that next time, thank you!!😊
I read it was hydrated lime mixed with water...not the fruit lime......Water Glassing Eggs: How To

Same says trying to make content without doing his research in finding out the correct information.
In fairness, I agree with your point. However, it does not negate the “fact” that preserving fresh eggs is indeed possible. I opened the comment section to make your very point.
Pickling lime works for lur water glassimg.
Does the lime water stay in the container or just soak and drain?
Does anyone know if this works with store bought eggs? Not sure if the eggs differ to natural farm ones.
I add a tablespoon or two of vinegar to my bread dough and it helps it stay fresh longer.
0:53 This is one of the downsides to RUclips, everyone wants to put up content so badly, they post 1 minute of information over 30 minutes and don't even know what they are talking about. That is not the citrus lime, it is the alkaline mineral lime. That's worth a "Don't recommend channel".
I think that was sarcasm because he showed what it was right after he said that.
Great for those that have chickens or easy access to fresh eggs.
Actually in most cities you can keep chickens in your yard. Alot have bylaws against roosters. They are not necessary. Just like a woman doesn't need a husband to have monthly cycles. The rooster is only there to produce offspring.
One thing you can do if you can only get your eggs from the grocery store is dehydrate them make an egg powder. Yes, you would only be able to have scrambled eggs or eggs that you put into casseroles or cakes, etc. the way to use them is it’s 1 tablespoon egg powder to 2 tablespoons of water that sit for a minute or so to reconstitute the egg then cook as usual,they are delicious..
I buy farm eggs from my mechanic. Many people will sell extra, check around your area
... it'd the air/O2 that causes the egg to decay, not the bacteria.
... the bacteria shows up to eat the decay..
Yes, you need fresh, unwashed eggs to preserve them. Unpasteurized milk will keep several weeks in the fridge fresh from the farm. The enzymes in the uncooked milk are alive and well and keep it good for a long time.
I’m from Sweden and the eggs in the shops are on a shelf, not in a cold area. Personally I buy my eggs from a farmer so my eggs are fresher than the ones in the shop. I’m going to oil my eggs from now on to make them stay fresh longer 😊
Mum, used to preserve eggs, with petroleum jelly, specifically formulated as egg preserver.
Wax, was on the harder cheeses, or sats of varois types.
Even the vegetables, were preserved in jars, with a pickling liquor, with or without spices - the veg, were always blanched.
Fruit, was also preserved, as slices, or jelly, or, jam .
There may have been more ways, including the layer of fat on some savoury items.
They do make a food grade mineral oil. That, in my opinion, is a better option that just regular mineral oil.
I have put fresh eggs in the freezer. When I take them out, I crack like normal, and they cook up a fine.
no, the egg does not crack when frozen. thaw first and then use
So when you are living off grid you can plug your freezer into a current bush. 😂

Thank you for the good tip for those of us who can still use a freezer
@@kirkboivin4357 just make sure to unplug the other appliances before you plug in the freezer. Or, you can use two currant bushes.
As an experiment it tried the lime soak and it worked well. Downside is that the yolks will stick and break when cracking and you do get a slight chem taste after a few months. I think I had mine in the bucket for a year. This was a few years back. .
I use vinegar for weed control
What a lovely infomercial.
Its called bloom. The chicken coats the egg in the channel where it comes out. That preserves the egg but factories wash it off. Also store eggs with the bum up. Point down round end up (thats where the air bubble is) I did once eat an egg that was old but still smelled good and I was sick for three days. Had to vomit a few times and the trots for a day. Weak for a day. Yeah that was an experience.

Many thanks for your presentation. I know for sure with the lime preserved eggs the eggs must be “unwashed. “ And you really need to stress that more! Use fresh unwashed eggs!
@FrugalSolutions I read that bread on U-Boats would mold quickly, so they dipped their bread twice in a lime slurry, baked it again, and then they could send it to the sub, where it would last for months unmolded. I have looked for years for the slurry recipe, but the ability to store baked bread for months would seem to be a deep dark secret...

I freeze dry mine. With the powder I make from them, I can use them for everything pretty much except for dunky fried eggs. And store them without any refrigeration.
Interesting,
Are you saying that you blend the eggs into powder, and then scramble the in the egg and freeze them?
How can you freeze-dry eggs?
Like our skin anything on the shell also penetrates the egg. lime and mineral oil are not fit for consumption. Bees wax would also work, as they use for bananas.
I have oiled eggs from the supermarket and kept them on my kitchen counter for over a year and they were just fine.

When in Europe I noticed that eggs are not refrigerated in the stores or in people's homes. Fresh eggs have a cuticle or "bloom" that keeps them from spoiling. Washing removes the cuticle, and then they have to be refrigerated.
Yes that’s how it goes no matter where you are. There are very few places have rehab on the weekends
Brilliant humerous presentation😂
I’ve been dehydrating my fresh eggs for storage, and if vacuum-sealed in a mason jar, they can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years. I might have to try this glass method too!

I enjoyed the video. Thanks for the upload 🙏❤️🙏❤️
It has to be fresh laid eggs, not the one's you buy from grocery store. Just remove any waste, don't wash. Then lime water.
The comment section is saying otherwise. I'll listen to the hundreds of comments over this upload. You've left much information out.
Thank you for this most interesting video. I subscribed. Question do you put the mineral oil covered eggs in the fridge can you keep them unrefrigerated?
Pretty sure everyone with chickens knows that the chickens themselves coat the eggs to seal them from rot. If you wash your eggs then you remove this coating, but if you don't wash them then they will last about a month without refrigeration. Not as long as some of these other methods, but you don't have to do anything (assuming you have your own chickens).
Health food stores and Amish also sell UnWashed eggs a natural membrane keeps the eggs fresh for 3-4 months in fridge
Can you just tell us once. FYI the membrane around the yoke breaks down with limed eggs so the whole thing comes out like colored water.
This can work for a season or up to a year, but it's hit or miss. My mother's family did this with their eggs for the time when the hens were mounting and it was ok. I've done it as well, and it's useful, but don't expect this to last for years.
Maybe we all should start doing this.....just in case we have a serious power outage etc. !!!
Vinegar dissolves the shell. Pickling boiled eggs - yes.
That's Super Rich info Educationall Good
Thanks from Northeast Oregon.
Uncontaminated eggs are actually safe to eat for months. What the oil does is keep them from drying out.
For people who don't have a seasonal massive surplus of eggs like homesteaders would have and space to store them in, the solution is to just eat more eggs so they don't get old in your refrigerator. Eggs are good for you.
I have been doing lime water for 3 years with my. chicken eggs. Up to 7 or 8 months the eggs cook like fresh eggs from i tobe 12 months the whites get watery, but will still fry scramble and bake. Would like to try the oil or.d.
vinegar
vinegar will melt the shells so it;s probably pickled hard boiled eggs
This is called water glassing. The yolks become thin but it doesnt effect the taste. Ive had mine in a yar for 2 years. I just opened a jar last week
Good knowlege to know. Thanks for the video.
✨️🙂✨️
oh yea, curious question,
Which can last longer Amish preseved eggs or powdered eggs?
Grocery store in the UK maintain the temperature of their stores and this is strictly regulated. Homes tend to have temperature fluctuations that is why we (in t(e UK) need to refrigerate our eggs.
I'm in the UK. I never refrigerate my eggs and they last weeks or months. (With older eggs the yolks tend to break easily, still fine for omelettes and cakes but no good if you like them fried sunny side up. I personally assume that, if the inside of the egg is not a funny colour or smelling of sulfur, it is not "off". Although freshest eggs taste best.) In the UK, stores keep eggs at room temperature because the suppliers have not washed the eggs so germs have not been washed into the egg through the porous shell. You don't need to put them in the fridge when you get home, unless you want to. Some sources recommend that you do not refrigerate eggs. In the USA, eggs have been washed before they reach the stores, which could have let germs in, so they must be refrigerated from then on. Comments here suggest that these preservation methods shown in the video will not work for store-bought eggs, only those straight from the chicken. (I still might try the buttered idea, though, to see if it will slightly extend storage time on my store-bought eggs. Just for curiosity's sake!)
The narrator Fails to mention, You can only water glass Fresh eggs from your hens, they have a Bloom/ protective coating on them,,you can NOT do store bought eggs
I wonder if you could coat the eggs with Krylon clear coat paint.
Get a freezer dryer the Canadian one is the best it’s called the d freeze
Wow that's expensive!
Great idea about lime water presvation
Can you hard-boil mineral oil coated eggs? Can you use vaseline or different oil to coat them? How long do they last?
Made pickled eggs three weeks ago. Yummy!!!
If you don’t wash eggs after they’re laid they will last 3 months . When eggs are washed there is a coating from the hen that is like a natural preservative coating that is removed.
Good ideas. But repeated many times unneccessary. Do the clip shorter but still informative.
Fresh eggs, normally last two weeks out of the fridge, because when the chicken lays one a day until she gets ready to sit the first egg has to stay fresh or they would not hatch, I hate to say it, but that’s common sense. That is the same with turkey eggs, guinea eggs, duck eggs, pheasants, quails all poetry. Water glass, and is usually the best way to preserve, long-term. But you have to do it the right way yes, we need to learn the old way just for sake of history. if you freeze dry them, they will last up to 25 years preserved in the right bags.
Looks like Justine at 8:15 from American Frontier or Frontier Patriot
It is.
The farmers have 30 days to get them to the stores, and then the stores had 30 days to sell them before the sale by date.
I soft boil, shell and can in a vinegar pickle solution.
We used to buy pickled eggs at small country stores in Texas
That's why they use oil for tuna for when they ship it.From one country to another , it won't spoil
