RE: Learning from the Past - Living Off-Grid - Edwardian Farm (Episode 3)
We use slaked lime to preserve our eggs, it works really well! I've been wanting to white wash the chicken coop with it as well. I'm going to give it a shot this spring. I love these series, I could watch them over and over. Wartime Farm is my favourite :)
I have heard about using lime to preserve eggs. Does it change the flavor or consistency of them at all? Does it limit their uses?
And I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Wartime Farm. I will probably do these write-ups on that series next.
I haven't noticed any difference, just rinse off the shell and cook as normal. I've never stored more than 4 months worth (yet) but I've been told they store well for a year this way.
I think I related to the Wartime Farm series most because its what my paternal great grandparents/grandparents would have been doing. Your write up on the series is great! I look forward to reading more of them!
