NO ICE CREAM! Keep eggs whole for MONTHS!! The most delicious egg recipe!
It sounds like you’re describing a method of preserving eggs, likely in a solution that allows them to remain edible for an extended period without refrigeration, and then using those preserved eggs in a delicious recipe. Here’s a breakdown of egg preservation methods and a likely delicious egg recipe:
Egg Preservation Methods (No Ice Cream, Long Storage):
- Waterglass (Calcium Hydroxide):
- This is a traditional method where eggs are submerged in a solution of calcium hydroxide (lime water).
- The lime seals the egg’s pores, preventing bacterial growth and moisture loss.
- Eggs preserved this way can last for months.
- Mineral Oil:
- Coating eggs with mineral oil seals the pores and prevents spoilage.
- This method is less effective than waterglass but still extends shelf life.
Important Notes on Preservation:
- Use fresh, unwashed eggs for preservation.
- Cracked or dirty eggs should not be preserved.
- Preserved eggs may have a slightly different texture and taste than fresh eggs.

A frittata is an excellent and versatile egg dish that can be adapted to many tastes.
