“When I tried my experiment a few years ago and cracked some eggs that were in sodium silicate”
This is confusing. When you say “in” sodium silicate, you don’t mean that they were stored in it do you?
The sodium silicate deposits a layer of glass when it drys. Actually exposure to atmospheric CO2 is what does the magic.
On an interesting side note, take some clean dry sand and saturate it with the stuff and put it in the microwave for a bit. It will fuse the sand together and you will have sand stone...
I was really misinformed. The eggs were in a jar of liquid. I don’t know if it was straight sodium silicate or a sodium silicate/water combination. LOL The stupid, it burns.
Still, aren’t the cells alive and have limited life spans?
How long do you successfully store eggs this way?
