Yolk Color 3: If there truly is a difference in the amount of nutrients found in spring and autumn eggs, that’d also mean the springtime eggs are the best candidates for water-glassing, as a person needs all the nutrients they can get to survive when stuck in a time of famine. There is also the possibility that springtime WG eggs will keep ...
Hi all, for anyone who water glasses eggs we have been pulling from our reserves for the last few months and still have quite a bit of eggs left. This morning as my wife was going to pull some out she discovered a broken egg and the water had become cloudy. My question is if the remaining eggs...
In water glassing you don't use pure water, because of the lime it works. So that's fine. But just remember water and air are the enemy (water conditionally). So the amount of time in the fridge exposed to the air could count against how long the eggs will last and cut that short a small amount. its not like to have cut it that much though.
Yes and yes. When I get any eggs that are clean enough to water glass, they go in the jar with any other eggs that are already in the water solution. I just put them in as they are laid. Some days it's all the eggs I collect, other days it's just one or two eggs. And you can water glass pullet eggs, no problem.
I've been water glassing for 5-6 years and wouldn't recommend it. Eggs are protected by a thin waxy coating (called the bloom) that is important for water glassing. The bloom prevents the lime water from penetrating into the egg. If the sharpie rubs off any the bloom, then the egg will be ruined.
Other sites say you can use either this chemical or that chemical (but not both) in water glassing eggs. The sources also say you can buy the lime at the like of Home Depot and Lowes. When I went to one of the box stores, the slot that had the placard reading "Hydrated Lime" had this stuff called Type-S Lime that looked like a mixture (if I ...
Buying directly is a good alternate way to get eggs, but be sure to check with the chicken owner if they are "unwashed eggs" if you do water-glassing. Eggs come with a thin waxy "bloom" that protects them from lime water infiltration. Commercial eggs are washed and the bloom removed by law in the US. Basically true.
You have an "interesting" case. I've been doing water-glassing for about 6 years and haven't heard of this exact situation before. Cracked eggs are by far the most common problem with water glassing. Once an egg shell is cracked and lets in the lime water, that particular egg is ruined. The vast majority of the time, only that one egg is harmed.
Hello all. Today I will glass a gallon jug of eggs I have collected over the last 4 days. The jug is plastic, an industrial mayonnaise container. Is there a downside to using plastic vs glass?
It's prime egg laying season, and I decided to try water glassing eggs to preserve some of them for later in the year when the egg laying slows down. I just put two dozen eggs into the water glass solution in a gallon glass pickle jar, and one or two of them were floating. None of these eggs is over a week old, so I consider them to be fresh.
