Eggs eggs and more eggs!

angchris

hi guys, i have 2 large trays of eggs that need to be used because the use by date on them is tommorrow. has anybody got any good ideas what i can do with them because i hate throwing things away

Personally, I'd still be using them after their use by date,

but for things to make meringues, omelettes, spanish omlettes, cakes are all high usage on the egg front! Crack them open and freeze them and use them at your leisure!!

Have fun!

auditbabe

You can just crack them and freeze them. If you are putting more then one in a container, mark how many are there otherwise you could be making an omelette for 60!!!

I freeze eggs, when I make meringues I freeze the yolks, when I make pies I freeze the whites. Then I use them when I have enough to make the other....

I use mine after the use-by-date as well, only because I always forget I've got them :rolleyes: I can never remember how you can tell if the egg is off but I think if it floats in water it's off, as it's got air in it. And if it sinks it's ok. Or is it the other way round, :doh: can be such a muppet at times :rolleyes:

I finished off a box last week which were BB 24 March 06. These were ok!

they don't go poisonous or anything after the sell-by date .... there's another thread about the floaty thing & telling if they're ok, but I've been out to the pub & am in no fit state to find it & make a link ... I'm sure squeaky will show you where it is in the morning

When you want to use them, do not crack them straight into the pan/bowl, crack them into a glass/jug. If they stink, chuck em, if not, they're fine. In my experience, a month after BB date is nothing.
