Eggs are Good


The first stray nest I found had 75 eggs in it. I had no idea if the eggs were good or not. Whenever an egg gets wet it destroys a natural sanitary wrap on the egg called the bloom. This is why people should wash eggs. When I find a stray nest I half fill my pot with cold water and add the eggs one at a time. If it floats I compost it without breaking it. With the good eggs in the pot I add a glug of vinegar and bring it to a boil then drain. The shell comes off easily from older eggs than newer. Peace for all

  1. If egg floats, it’s no good? I didn’t know that. Thanks!

  2. Like vrtlarcia, I was also unaware of the floating egg thing. Very intersting.

  4. So the fresher the eggs are .. the shells stick .. I've always wondered about that. We now get organic fresh eggs from a friend and they stick something fierce when making hard boiled eggs.
