For some people, it’s just a regular thing, but for the majority of people, this is an unknown life hack. Today, we are going to reveal you this one secret life hack that can increase the quality of your life and save some bucks too. Now you must be wondering that whether frozen eggs are good or not? Well, let me clarify that the frozen eggs taste similar to those of instant thawed eggs and there’s no harm in consuming frozen eggs. However, Please don’t start freezing eggs on your own, follow our method. Otherwise, this isn’t going to work the way it should.
Mistake That Majority of The People Make When They Freeze Eggs
Whenever you tell your friends or family about this, please don’t forget to mention them about this. Otherwise, they will spoil their eggs unknowingly. Well, the mistake is that when people freeze their eggs, they freeze them with their shells which isn’t a correct way. You know why? Because when the egg is frozen, its water comes out of it through the open cracks which ultimately leads to bacteria that can contaminate the egg.
This Is The Right Way To Freeze Eggs
Follow this procedure to freeze your eggs in a correct manner:
Step 1
Take a suitable ice cube tray of the proper size. Also, don’t forget to place some newspapers below the ice cube tray to prevent a messy situation. Yes, you may crack your egg outside the ice cube tray block.
Step 2
Now carefully crack all the eggs in the ice cube tray.
Step 3
It’s time to put this tray in the freezer. We recommend you to leave it there until the eggs become frozen solid. However, the approximate time to accomplish this goal will be 2 hours.
Step 4
Now that if you got the frozen eggs ice cube tray, you need to separate eggs from the tray. If the eggs don’t pop out, put the tray in warm water for at least 45 seconds to pop them out faster. You can also store them in a freezer safe bag to keep them fresh for up to 12 months. So in future, whenever you need eggs, just get the eggs from the freezer and let them stay at room temperature for a while then use them again.
Congratulations! You did it. Now you can use these eggs in any recipe such as french toast, breading chicken baking, scrambled eggs, etc. But remember, if you need eggs to make recipes that only need whites or yolk, we highly recommend you to freeze them separately. You can simply put the whites in one ice cube block and the yolk in the another.
This freezing magic doesn’t end to the eggs. You can apply this method to other food items as well. Here are some of the food items that you can preserve for later use:
Coffee
preserving coffee in the ice cube tray can be one of the best things that you have ever done to your coffee because, after some time, you will get way better and stronger iced coffee from the freezer.
Grated Ginger
Get the ginger from the market and grate it to put it into the tray. This simple trick will let you have the readymade spice in your hands at the time of emergency.
Homemade Stock
You can store somewhere two tablespoons of stock in order to use it further for making reheating leftovers and sauce.
Buttermilk
If you don’t want to spoil your precious buttermilk, then put it all in the freezer to enjoy it later. Moreover, this trick can help you out in summers.
Lemon Juice
Are you tired of squeezing lemons on again and again? Just fill your tray once, and you will later have a ready cube of lemon juice.
Fresh Herbs
Sometimes we buy more herbs than we actually needed, so in such situation, we can store extra herb in our freezers and use them later.
Chiles
Chiles can make your day, so don’t let the other chiles spoil. Put them in the freezer to keep the taste of chiles alive forever.
Nuts And Seeds
It feels annoying to buy large packets of nuts and seeds only to use 1 or 2 cups of them for recipes. This time keep the rest of the nuts and seeds in the freezer to keep them fresh for your next recipe.
