I have read you can freeze eggs for later use. Has anyone tried this and just how successful is it? Techniques?

| I've read that you crack open the dozen eggs and then re-pour them into the individual cups in the cardboard carton for later use. Don't use sytrofoam. Good luck. |

break each one into a ice cube tray, 1 in each cubes spot, freeze and pop out into what ever freezer container you prefer.

I use an Ice Cube Tray and then transfer them to a freezer bag. I just use them in baking and such. I have never tried them fried or scrambled or anything.

Julie, they will work well for scrambled, but not fried.

Do you have to break the yolk first? I always wanted to freeze the extras, just never tried it
how sweet it is to love some one, how right it is to care |

I crack eggs into a bowl and beat completely but do not incorperate air. 3 tbsps equal 1 egg. I freeze them in ice trays and then transfer to a freezer bag. My ice trays only hold 2 tbsps in each hole so for me 3 cubes equal 2 eggs.
When I need to seperate the yolk from the whites and stir, the yolks tend to jel so you need to add 1/8 tsp of salt for every four yolks. 1 tbsps of yolk equals 1 egg. Freeze like above.
To freeze the whites just seperate and freeze as above. 2 tbsps equal one egg.
I make oven bake omeletes so for that I beat a dozen eggs together and freeze in a freezer container and mark as such so I don't have to count out the singles.
I thaw them out over night in the frig.

Thank you all for all the good information. I'm going to give it a shot. I just wanted to find something to do with my excess eggs from my hens so I can still have them in the dark winter days when the laying slows down.
