Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: SeanM Date: 16 May 01 - 01:12 AM I've had great success with water in the eggs. Got it off the old 'Frugal Gourmet' show. Milk actually doesn't work as well in my experience. That's not to say cheese or other dairy products can't be used in an omlette - just not in the basic raw egg mixture. Messr. Smith also noted that Peanut oil worked best for cooking, as it could go to a higher temperature without scorching and left a better flavor than most other oils or sprays. M |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: wysiwyg Date: 16 May 01 - 01:12 AM I mean if you whip the eggs! Not the ducks! This cross-posting is very dangerous! Also, BTW, blood spots on the yolk do not signify a fertile egg. Those are just indicative that the hen is old and she bleeds a little when she ovulates, and it gets on the yolk. Also the old hens are the ones who lay the big-ole eggs. They aren't so tight in there after several years of laying day after day.... think about it! Yup. Things widen out inside and the eggs get bigger accordingly. ~BirdGirl (AKA BG) |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Bert Date: 16 May 01 - 01:11 AM We just used to crack the eggs into a ziplock bag and freeze them. They were fine. I was going to say for cooking but then remembered that we always cooked our eggs. |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: wysiwyg Date: 16 May 01 - 01:05 AM Sure, if you whip the hell out of them the water would let them froth up more. Cuz the secret is the fluffiness from the air bubbles. Also-- never salt raw eggs unless you like to eat rubber. Salt them after they have begun to set if salt is needed. I also know how to freeze eggs, thought to be impossible or inadvisable. You add either a pinch of salt or a BIG pinch of sugar to a quart jar of broken and stirred eggs, and then they can be used for cooking or baking, although the texture is a bit weird. A bit jellified, although the sugar (or salt) prevents them from being too gross. (You just run them through a strainer to restore runniness.) Flavor is fine. A dozen eggs makes a quart usually. Straining the beaten eggs for making a custard is a good idea too, especially for farm-fresh eggs, to get rid of those little fibrous cordlike structures. Class, do you know what those fibers are FOR? ~S~

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Sorcha Date: 16 May 01 - 01:00 AM I have no clue......I don't and my omlettes come out just fine as long as I use enough non stick spray. I'll try it next time and let you know, OK? spaw--I don't HAVE a retaining wall!!but they did sort of hit the fence running.......... |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 16 May 01 - 12:57 AM Serious culinary thread creep here. I was once advised, by somebody who seemed to know, that the secret to a great omelette was to add a tablespoonful of water to every three eggs. Since when, I have never failed to do this. But sometimes I wonder, does it make any difference ? Murray |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: catspaw49 Date: 16 May 01 - 12:55 AM I imagine when you washed them across the yard and into the retaining wall it probably created a fear in them they aren't likely to forget Sorch. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Sorcha Date: 16 May 01 - 12:52 AM hmmmm.........mine don't. I am using the garden hose and they run from it whether I am filling the deep dish or the wading pool.......they think (?) I might spray them, I guess. I did once, and they didn't like it much. |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Bert Date: 16 May 01 - 12:49 AM If you pour the water into their dish while they are there, they will scramble to drink the water while it is still falling. Cutest thing you've ever seen. |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Sorcha Date: 16 May 01 - 12:47 AM bert--???? Is this a funny I am missing? relative to Jug? I just go out and catch them several times a day and toss 'em in the wading pool. |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Bert Date: 16 May 01 - 12:44 AM Hey Sorchie, when you give them water, you must pour it into their dish with a jug. |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Sorcha Date: 16 May 01 - 12:42 AM real thick and bright yellow........ooo yum. Duck eggs are GREAT for baking!! Maybe I'll get a few......... |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: wysiwyg Date: 16 May 01 - 12:41 AM oops sorry Murr-- No I didn't feel flamed! And yes, fresh free-roaming is the best! Bug-fed yolks! I miss 'em. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Sorcha Date: 16 May 01 - 12:40 AM 'Course she turned the eggs and added water to the inkabater.....she was trying to candle the eggs when her mom told her she washed 'em.
DuckS (note plural) are doing GREAT, but they seem to be a little stupid......they love the pool, but refuse to learn to get in alone. And, they have a nice dirt ramp into it.......think we have drake and hen. They are not shaped alike and one (Waldo) is bigger. See, um, uh, Kate's friend Brittany bought a duck too......
and it was just loose in their bathroom....Dad said Squeaker had to go......so she came here. The "love" each other, but they eat a LOT!! (If theses critters hide eggs real good and I have babies next spring..........) See, I got it back to eggs!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: wysiwyg Date: 16 May 01 - 12:33 AM I think Hardi should be at Mudcat more often. Spaw's egg-tips are right up his alley. *G* !!! *G* The eggs didn't hatch cuz they dried out in the inkabater. That's why a good inkabater operader puts water in there in a dish, to keep it as moist as a hen's ass. *!*!*!GGG!*!*!* And did you TURN the eggs? Pore lil chick, all stucken to the shell! And how's the damn duck? huh? We not been hearing about that there duck! Here, duckie duckie... aw did it go down the drain??? ~BirdGirl of Mudcatraz |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Bert Date: 16 May 01 - 12:22 AM Do you think that Spaw should be kept in the Fridge? |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 15 May 01 - 11:59 PM Spaw, it doesn't worry me in the slightest, but your carefree coupling of the ovular and the anal might just cause Frazier to raise his eyebrows a tad ....... Murray |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: catspaw49 Date: 15 May 01 - 11:52 PM Yeah, Chicken Charlie......a man what oughta' know about eggs....................But, should you opt to shove them up a friend's ass for storage, there are some significant advantages you should think about. You can remove the eggs and have them in the proper condition for use.....for instance................ SCRAMBLED EGGS--Attach a jackhammer to your friend's ass. Operate for 5 minutes. Extract eggs. OMELETTE--Same as above, but whack your friend in the rump with a Stop sign before extraction. POACHED--Kick your friend's butt to crack eggs open and then pour boiling water up his ass. When the screaming stops, your eggs are done. Extract eggs. SOFT BOILED--Same as above, just eliminate the kick. HARD BOILED--Same as Soft Boiled, but continue adding boiling water for 5 minutes. It may be useful to strap your friend down for this procedure. FRIED--Put a stick of butter and a blowtorch up your friend's ass and when smoke comes from his mouth, your eggs are ready. Extract eggs ***Tip Of The Week*** You can add an Automatic Egg Extracter to your friend's ass by feeding him cabbage, beans, and milk 48 hours prior to use. Boner Po Teet Spaw

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Chicken Charlie Date: 15 May 01 - 11:24 PM Guest, Fed Up: Evidently not, as you read all the foregoing posts, which were absolutely without redeeming social value. We need pointless questions now and then. I believe it was the great Corky Gonzales who said, "There are many levels of revolutionary activity." To the original question: Of course, because they tend to break if you leave them under your pillow. CC, who should know about eggs |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Sorcha Date: 15 May 01 - 11:20 PM "Real" farm fresh eggs won't hatch if you wash them either. Friend of mine found that out the hard way.....she wanted to save 4 doz to hatch out, but her Mom washed all of them......oops. |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Murray MacLeod Date: 15 May 01 - 11:14 PM Susan, I swear, I am not flaming you, but that is one of the most sensible, informative postings I have ever seen on Mudcat My mother kept chickens when I was a child. "Deep litter" is a phrase I remember from way back. Sort of humane, DIY battery chickens. But did they ever taste good! And the eggs did too. Murray |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: GUEST,petr Date: 15 May 01 - 11:04 PM my understanding is if you are baking you should always use room temp. eggs. I usually put them in a bowl of warm water. |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: wysiwyg Date: 15 May 01 - 08:25 PM Freshly laid eggs from chickens kept in a clean area are generally OK out of the fridge for a bit but only if they are not washed. The eggs come out sealed with a film that helps make the eggshell less porous. It's the porosity of the shell that is the problem. The salmonella starts on the outside of the shell but migrates in through the shell as moisture is drawn in through the shell, and then multiplies inside the shell on the rich growing medium. This is why one never washes farm eggs until ready to use them, if at all. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 15 May 01 - 08:07 PM If you want to make meringues or anything that needs whipped egg whites, leave them out of the fridge for an hour or so, or room temperature, whichever is soonest. They will beat up to make almost half as much again as you get with cold eggs...... LTS |

Of course, even if you are able to answer your own questions, you'll still probably feel a need to respond to those of others. I do, but I never claimed to be able to shut up about anything.
In answer to the question about the eggs - refrigerate. |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: SeanM Date: 15 May 01 - 06:39 PM Well, 'spaw, depends on the friend and how close you are, I would guess. If you're storing them for any length of time, the fridge is a must. Even then, you still run the risk of them going bad if you leave them too long (say more than a couple weeks - tops). Of course, you may get lucky and not have them turn, especially if using the hormone laced 'farm eggs' from the supermarket. Leaving them out for more than an hour or so is bad. Once they hit room temperature, I think it only takes an hour to start building up dangerous levels of bacteria. M |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: GUEST,Karen Date: 15 May 01 - 06:30 PM Ummm, I keep mine in my fridge in that container that has the word "Eggs" written on the side....it came with the fridge. I do however leave them out on the counter for an hour or so before using them in recipes. They work best at room temperature. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: Sorcha Date: 15 May 01 - 06:30 PM Only if you want to eat them.......if you want to hatch them put them in an incubator. There is this stuff called "water glass" aka sodium silicate, that you can put them in and keep them on the counter several months. I have done it, and it works. Should be available at your pharmacy/chemist. If you are interested, I'll look up the exact procedure. If you don't refrigerate, you are going to get salmonella, and that ain't fun! |

Subject: RE: BS: Should eggs be kept in the fridge? From: InOBU Date: 15 May 01 - 06:27 PM No, eggs aren't good for you. Keep them under chickens until ripe, then, when they get big, pull off the feathers and fry em. Larry |
