How to Pasteurize Eggs at home lots of recipes that use fresh raw eggs (either the white, yolk or both) as a primary ingredient. This is common for dressings, mayonnaise, egg nog, ice creams and frosting. Most eggs are perfectly safe to eat and according to the American Egg Board only about one in 20,000 eggs may contain salmonella.

Thats all fine for now but what about SHTF eggs? one should error on the side of caution when it pertains to food safety. Thankfully, the risk of salmonella can be avoided by using pasteurized eggs in your favorite raw egg recipes.

1. Allow the eggs to sit on the counter for about 15 minutes. This will bring the eggs to room temperature; which helps ensure the eggs reach the proper temperature to kill salmonella.

2. Fill a small saucepan with cold water and gently lower the eggs into the water. Place pan on the stove and cook over medium heat. Bring water to 140° to 150° F. It is best to use a thermometer but if you don't have a thermometer, 150° F is right about the time bubbles begin forming on the bottom of the pan.

3. Once the pan reaches 140° to 150° F, remove from heat and allow the eggs to rest in the water for 3 minutes.

Your eggs are now pasteurized and can be used in recipes just like any other unpasteurized eggs. Just be sure to keep the eggs refrigerated until ready-to-use.

This video is one in a series of videos and websites which are being posted on FreeRepublic in the coming days in regard to nutritional health. In the beginning these videos were being posted as a rebuttal to an article and comments in another posted article on FreeRepublic remarking on obesity. Due to the strong interest in obesity and nutritional health as it relates to Type II Diabetes, the videos relating to Type II diabetes and how to reverse the progression of the disease are being moved forward among the other video topics in this series. Expect to see a mixture of videos regarding the role of carbohydrates in the diet and their relationship to nutritional health topics ranging from metabolic syndrome and Diabetes to dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Altzheimer's Disease, and more. The effects of standard government sponsored diets, health association diets, and alternative diets upon everyday nutrition, sports nutrition, and diabetic nutrition will be mixed in with videos focused on the use of various low carbohydrate and high fat (LCHF) diets, such as the ketogenic diets as a treatment for Type II Diabetes.

Anyone who is interested in following this series of posts about nutritional health is invited to request a ping.

Better Homes and Gardens more apropos?

I read somewhere that you can keep eggs unrefrigerated for quite some time if you brush them with mineral oil first. Provides some kind of hen-like coating that cleansing takes away.

[right way right]

Put me on your ping list please, low carb guru.

Thanks Whiskey X
In other words after room temp cook them for 3 minutes in water just below the boiling point

[Roos_Girl]

Eggs can be stored at room temp. Except in extreme situations i don’t think i would use mineral oil, but an oil more meant for consumption, like olive oil. The mineral oil will penetrate the shell into the egg to some extent.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

A grocery store I shopped at in Italy kept their eggs in little cardboard containers on a shelf next to the jellies and preserves. I never saw them refrigerated.

[WhiskeyX]

When you live in the country in a place without electricity and without running water, you do not refrigerate the eggs. To determine whether or not an egg has gone bad on you in a couple of weeks, you put the egg in a pan of water. If the egg sinks to the bottom of the pan, its probably going to be a good egg. If the egg floats in the water, it is a bad egg. The rotting egg produces gas inside the egg that causes the egg to float.

Olive oil turns rancid at room temperature

I recommend PB Blaster Penetrating Catalyst Oil - it builds strong bodies twelve ways...!

[Jamestown1630]

I don’t think that they clean eggs off, in Europe; so they still have a natural coating that allows for keeping them at room temp.

In the US, when we buy eggs at the grocery store, that coating has been cleaned off, and we have to keep the eggs refrigerated.

Please correct me if I’m wrong; and thanks for the ‘ping’ to this thread.

When I was sailing offshore, I used to coat my eggs with wax. Just make sure that the eggs have never been refrigerated then dip them in hot wax for a moment.

I’m not sure why the eggs should be fresh, never refrigerated; that’s just what the old salt I learned this from told me, and I never had reason to try refrigerated eggs.

Use one of these.

Best fifteen bucks you'll ever spend. And your steaks will suddenly turn out perfect every time.

If you do not want to see the posted articles in any of these Topics, all you need to do is turn on the Topic you do wish to see under the Browse by Forum in the sidebar on the right side of the screen. The topic is especially appropriate on FR due to the self sufficiency of many of its members, who appreciate new information about how to take care of themselves and their families without undue interference from other people and governments who would try to tell them how to live, what to think, and what to believe.

LCHF (Low Carbohydrate High Fat) diets often require about a 4 to 1 ratio of Fat to Protein. Since the meats, fish, and poultry often have only a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of fat to protein, it is necessary to find ways of adding fats to a meal. One such way of adding fat is to use homemade mayonnaise as a condiment and as a base for a creamy salad dressing. Traditional mayonnaise recipes often use eggs. because raw eggs can in rare cases be a health risk due to salmonella or other pathogens, it is sometimes advisable to pasteurize the eggs when used in recipes that call for uncooked or raw eggs.

How was it cracking them with the wax coating?

[Roos_Girl]

Haha, I wonder how FlexSeal would work.

[Tired of Taxes]

I’ve been buying pasteurized eggs, but they’re expensive. So, this is good to know. Thanks.
