I haven’t tried that but it’s supposed to preserve them for many months. I have a friend who brought me dozens and dozens of eggs last summer and I’m thinking I’d she does that this year I’m going to try this.
I was curious to try this, but finding 'unwashed' eggs proved to be a challenge. Once the natural coating on eggs is washed off, you can't pickle or 'water glass' them as they will simply rot.
There's also freezing them. Some people swear they mix two raw eggs in a freezer ziploc bag and freeze them, for up to a year. It's not for eggs-over-easy but is instead for recipes that call for 2 eggs. I dunno.
Eggs can be stored by dipping into melted crisco to form a barrier then stored in cool area.
Research further but this was told to me by my brother that lived aboard sailboat and cruised for years.
EGG SLIDE
I have frozen cooked eggs before using a copycat recipe for Egg McMuffin. I fry the the egg for this sandwich using a ring on my electric griddle. The process includes poking the egg to break the yolk. I make a big mess of these when I am planning a visit from my grandsons. They love these. Don’t know how the freezing would affect an egg fried with the yolk intact, but these sandwiches turn out fine after freezing.
Come on ransomnote! Don’t wimp out!
Go for thousand year eggs!

I used to have a small flock of chickens, and I froze a few bags of eggs. I only used them for cakes and such, but I couldn’t tell the difference in the final product.
