How to Water Glass Eggs

Step 1

Start off with a clean vessel to store your eggs. Depending on how many eggs you want to preserve will determine the size of your container. I’m starting with a 5-gallon food-grade bucket, but over the course of the summer, I’ll likely fill two or three of these buckets.

Step 2

Next, add enough water to your container that your eggs will be completely submerged, but not so much that the water will overflow.

Step 3

Measure out your water and lime. The ratio of water to lime is for every one quart of water you’ll use 1 ounce of lime. No matter what size container you’re using, this is the ratio to follow.

Step 4

Add the lime to your clean water and whisk until completely dissolved. The water will look milky white.

Step 5

Next, gently add your unwashed fresh eggs.

Step 6

When you get to the point that you can start positioning eggs, be sure you’re putting the small side down (see video for reference).

Step 7

When you’re ready to use your eggs, simply remove them as you need them, give them a good rinse off and use as normal.
