Tips
- Only use unwashed farm-fresh eggs; store-bought eggs cannot be used for this method.
- Keep eggs pointy side down to maintain freshness for longer.
- This method is great for scrambled eggs or baking, but the whites/yolks may not be suitable for frying eggs sunny-side up.
- The eggs are good for up to 18 months.
