What is water glassing?

Water glassing eggs is an old time technique for long term preservation
of fresh eggs. It’s a simple process that consists of three ingredients:
eggs, water, and slaked lime! It requires no electricity, refrigeration,
or maintenance…..just set it and forget it!!! Water glassing will keep
your fresh eggs fresh for up to a year!



How to water glass your fresh eggs!

The first thing you need to know is that lime matters! You need to get
pickling, slaked or hydrated lime (all are essentially the same thing)
NOT agricultural lime!!! They are two separate and very different things.
The lime you’re looking for is basically the same stuff that masons use
to make mortar or a lime plaster.

It is also they kind of lime traditionally used in the nixtamalization
process for corn making it more digestible and also in some pickling
recipes. You can get slaked lime at the hardware store or online cooking
outlets. You do NOT want the lime that you get at the garden center or
from agricultural chemical distributors.

WATER GLASSING
EGGS FOR
LONG-TERM
STORAGE




Are you looking for a method for preserving eggs in their whole raw form?
If so, water glassing eggs is the most efficient long-term method available.

This method is known as “water glassing” eggs. Preserving eggs in this fashion
allows farm-fresh eggs to be preserved whole in their rawest form, shell and
all. Water glassing eggs allows the eggs to be consumed as if they were
collected that same day.

Preserving eggs utilizing the water glassing method allows farm-fresh eggs to
remain fresh between one year to 18 months. However, there are individuals who
state their eggs remain edible for up to two years in the preserving liquid.
The method of water glassing eggs has been practiced since the early 1800s.
