Start stocking up on chocolate so it can be melted down and cover bugs and rodents for future emergency food. NOT! Store what you eat and eat what you store or you may need much more toilet paper than you think. |

With 50 laying hens - I was wondering how to dry the eggs. The BackWoodsHome site said not to do it- too risky but you might be onto something. You are both apparently still alive and kickin' |

There are literally hundreds of things that we've been told are "too dangerous to attempt at home". However, if a person uses safe and clean procedures and standard canning/drying/preserving proceedures, I don't think there is much danger. I suspect much of the mis-information we are fed is put out by entities that would suffer financially if we no longer were forced to buy their products!!

I figure that you cook them completely before eating them either by baking or fry pan you will have killed any salmonella or some such germs but I don't know. Could be wrong but the zucchini is in and I thought that I would make some bread tomorrow and try using those dried eggs. SSSSHHHHHHHHH....don't tell Griz

Woohoo!! I've been waiting for some indication that the dried eggs will stand in for fresh in baking recipes. I had wondered if they would have the same leavening properties as fresh and what the results would be. Sorry, Raven, I had thought about using some of the eggs you had given me to experiment, but I just could NOT bring myself to waste "REAL" eggs on an experiment! We ate them fried, boiled, in sandwiches and salads and loved, loved, loved the wonderful taste!! So, I am looking forward to hearing how the dried eggs work in recipes. If its a "go" I may go to the store and buy some "ick eggs" and dry them.

If I can find a big envelope, we can try mailing you some more eggs. Ha! Ha! No matter how they show up, they'll probably be better than the store bought stuff. Maybe I'll stuff a chicken in there too. |

I am happy to report that Griz is still alive and kicking after I fed him zucchini bread made with dehydrated eggs. I powdered them by running them through the grain mill (a real pain since you have to clean it out afterward and the stuff is semi-sticky). I rehydrated it at a rate of 2 Tablespoons egg to 2 tablespoons water and let it sit in a covered dish overnight. I then used the egg as normal. The bread is awsome and very moist. I will try to do something else as I get time. |

Sounds like a success, Raven. However, I am still wondering if the dehydrated eggs retain their leavening ability? Will the dried particles "puff up" to help make baked good raise like they normally would with fresh eggs? |

I really saw no difference between the fresh and the dried. The bread rose nicely and looked/tasted as I remember it. I will try more things as I have the time...probably around February
