PREP Boiled and ate some eggs in storage for over a year.

[Satanta]

Waterglassed them in Nov 2022.
Needed some for pickling, figured I would see.

A lot of them split along the sides or had other shell issues once boiled. There were no shell issues before boiling and there are no issues with the boiled eggs as far as smell, flavor and obciously I'm still alive.

Don’t want to be anywhere near you in the next five or six hours though……

 

[WalknTrot]

Yikes. Good luck with that. Personally, I wouldn't encourage the practice.

 

[PghPanther]

Good Lord they better have been kept in liquid nitrogen..

Hydrated lime ( pickling lime )
I have a bucket that’s close to two years old.
None floating last time I looked..
I’ve never boiled any. Always crack them one at a time in a coffee cup.
Kinda a smell look test.
They do get runny after awhile...
Last time I scrambled some they were fine...

I love hard frying old eggs.

 

[Wyominglarry]

You sir are going to be having some really stinky farts.

Damn, dude.

I'd buy you some Vienna sausages and mayonnaise if'n I was nearby.

I wouldn't feed old eggs to my neighbor's dog.

And I'm pretty sure I don't like him...

Poor 'Loop, I hope she has training for 'hazardous atmosphere.'

ETA: The neighbor, not the dog. The dog would be fine with a proper owner.
Carry on, y'all. Love you.

Sat, you are a brave man. I'm generally all on board for the latest homestead trends and I'm not saying I wouldn't waterglass eggs but I think they were only ever suppose to hold you over for a few months til the hens come around to laying again...six months at the most and not a true long term storage plan.

I'm eating limed eggs from last June currently. (8 months old)
I have been very pleased with this preservation method. When I crack an egg into a bowl, the color, smell and texture are very similar to fresh. I have fried them, and used them in baking successfully. I have not tried to boil them.
My understanding is that the limed eggs should be good for 18 months.

Well gone are the days when preppers were extant upon these forums. I have to wonder nowadays how many members sit at their computers wearing orange safety vests just in case.

Good on you, Sat.

I don't know about that, I'm fairly prepped up... need to find an orange vest though it's somewhere in the house, someplace.

Sat, I take it that FruitLoop has no sense of smell? Btw did you ever get the roommate situation squared away?

No more Farty than usual I actually rarely pass gas. They do seem to have a bit more softness in the whites but the yolks are firm. I planned to pickle them in Bread and butter pickling-have no made B&B pickles in a but but found I could put eggs and jalapenos in the store bought and they came out great so, with the amount of eggs we have in lime I'm thinking of how to get them eadible soonable.
