What About Waterglassing Eggs?

We have recently had lots of questions about whether or not waterglassing eggs is safe. We get into the science behind the answer for a deeper understanding of what our choice should be.

    We grew up on waterglassed eggs (I'm 58), but my mom was EXCEEDINGLY careful to check our eggs as she collected them from the hens. We usually just used them in the winter when laying was low. She kept a stone crock with a lid in the bottom of the pantry, which stayed very cool. She would be sure to keep track of when they went in and would use them up or toss them by a certain date before starting over fresh. Her dad was a chicken farmer who raised thousands, so she was an excellent candler. Anyway, my personal belief is that like most things that have worked with relative safety over the years, there's a lot of common sense that goes into the ultimate end results. Stay safe everyone in your final decisions and practices.

    @@randomcole619 people like you infuriate me. There is nothing more important to a scientist than integrity, why because if they do what you claim they get ousted of the scientific community, they will never be taken seriously again and won't be able to publish in a peer reviewed reputable journal again. I have no doubt that companies would love for results to come out in their own favor however no actual scientist would do this. Scientific research is done via Grants, if you don't know how grants work they are written saying here is money for you to do research on this topic sometimes with a hypothesis sometimes not, no where in this grant (which is a contract) does it state that certain results must be found. Do you know the last notable time someone actually took up an offer like this it was the researcher who "found" that vaccines caused autism, after he published that paper his research was done by other scientists and they did not come to the same conclusions. He then published a correction but it was too late his harm was done but also he made loads of money and he would be broke now had it not been for those anti-vaxx people who don't understand that he pulled a fast one on them. However since then he has been ousted by the scientific community because 1. scientific research must be repeatable 2. he proved to be liar and that is not tolerated. Most people go through 10 years of schooling because they truly want to participate in the search for more knowledge in their field of focus and when going in everyone knows that the pay will not be great but they do it anyway so to be ousted from that community and have your career ruined is not taken lightly. So until you put your whole life into the pursuit of knowledge please be quiet about scientists because you obviously know very little about the people, the community and what it's like to have passion for knowledge.

    John Townsend did a test of water glassed eggs vs oiled eggs. Both methods were used on homesteads prior to refrigeration. The water glassed eggs were good longer than the oiled eggs. Many breeds of chickens stop laying during winter or when they molt, so it is good to have some eggs “put up”. I’ve noticed the shell thins the longer it sits in the lime water. You can’t hard boil water glassed eggs. Personally, I only put up enough for a few months to have until my girls start laying again.

Sadly along the way "modern science" overpowered the thousand of years of practice... 2 of the oldest modalities to cure disease in the body. I myself have been doing Ayurveda for about 12 years and am happy to report that my animals and myself have recovered from horrible health afflictions with ancient medicine. I also use Homeopathy which is pretty old too, mid 1700's. Modern science/medicine has it place but I will also look at those who healed and preserved food before me.

I researched as best I could and eventually decided to give it a go. It has worked for us. The older eggs do get very thinned out and aren't great for Sunnyside up, so we generally do scrambled or use in baking. I figure if cooked thoroughly it is safer too. Have had a few get cracked and tossed them. But in general has been good. It is definitely a personal decision. I just trust my nose to let me know if most things are bad. Thanks for the great info!

    I think a lot of homesteaders are conflating water glass (sodium silicate) with lime. The process is pretty much the same, so it's easy to see how, over time, people would begin to refer to preserving eggs with lime as "water glassing." During the Depression, the USDA published instructions on how to preserve eggs using both of those processes (based on assumptions of the time, as you pointed out, that the egg was sterile).

    Interesting. I had not considered that. But I would venture to say that because of the availability of lime, the similarities in the two processes and being that they are both covered under the same 1935 article from the Bureau of Economics, the name water glassing was applied to both processes and it stuck with lime as sodium silicate became less available. Both give similar results so no harm no foul I would think.

    When "anyone" makes a statement "Its not safe" they had better validate that statement fully. Just because the USDA states "it is not safe" and does not substantiate those claims well...Im not going to go with "because I said so". Half of more to the scientific research is not available. Therefore I question the statement "its not safe". If the USDA cant give the whole story then it is invalid until ALL the studies and information is presented/available. Its everyone choice to water glass or not. 100+ successful years of water glassing is pretty go evidence I would say.

    My mother was born in 1927 and she said they did this when she was young. Her main comment that I remember was that the shells would soften over time. She said the eggs were alright, but not wonderful, but it's what they had when the hens weren't laying so they mainly used them for baking. I tried this several years ago and found that, yes, they were just OK. At the end of a year the whites were very watery, and I ended up using only the yolks in pudding. If that was the only eggs I had, though, I'd certainly have used the whole egg.

We now have our own little flock of hens (5 Black Jersey Giant girls...they are so pretty!) that have just started laying. We are looking forward to having their eggs for years to come. Thanks again!

    Good information and scientific analysis. I would add that prior to water glassing with lime (not lye) it is important to candle the freshly laid eggs to ensure there are no imperfections in the eggs - hair line cracks, etc. which if added to the container would rot and spoil the entire batch. Also, do not use refrigerated eggs. Although I found the research into salmonella being found inside the egg interesting, I would also hypothesize that if this were true the salmonella would be developmentally suspended or markedly reduced because it can not get the air to develop further (a vacuum of sorts, if you will). But even if I am wrong, it would certainly cause the egg to be recognizably spoiled and if it was not spoiled it would be killed once the egg is cooked. I would also hypothesize that being that hydrated lime has a ph of 12.4 it is too caustic for salmonella to survive if present on the outside. However, all that being said as food for thought only (not debating) I can't disagree that knowing the science is good, but I also feel there is something to be said for over 100 years of successfully preserving eggs. Just my unscientific two cents worth. Thanks again. Hope not too much damage from the flood!

    @@sylviabeam8483 As others have said, they should be freshly laid but within 24 - 48 hours would be fine. If you make up the solution and just have it sitting on the counter or storage location, you can just add eggs to the container after you candle them. Just be sure to always make sure the eggs are covered in solution. Store in a coolish type location if possible for maximum storage time. I would not recommend using refrigerated eggs because the shock going from refrigerator to room temperature water may cause the egg to crack thereby letting solution to easily enter the egg and thus cause spoilage. Also, Warming of the egg prior to putting in solution will cause the egg to sweat which could result in an increased risk to breach of the bloom.

If the power goes out for indefinite period of time you lose the food in your freezer. Freeze dryers at $2,000 and $3,000 right now or not cost effective.. so when I have spare eggs,not very often Water glass for me.
