Can you freeze chicken eggs when they are out of their shells?

Yes you can. Just make sure you add a tiny pinch of salt to each egg yolk before freezing, or they thicken and won't be as good.

You can, but I have no idea why you would want to. If usage is a problem, just buy 6 eggs. They are still good 30 days past the sell by date.
Reply:i think the same goes with peas when they're out of their pods
Reply:You can, but you can't leave the yolks whole.



Yolks don’t take to freezing very well. They become very gelatinous and you usually mix separated yolks with a bit or salt or sugar before you freeze them to keep them from turning to rubber (and you label them well so you don’t have to guess if you mixed them with salt or with sugar). Raw egg whites do not suffer from freezing (cooked egg whites are very rubbery after freezing).



If you’re going to freeze whole eggs, remove them from the shells, and mix them well before freezing. They can be kept frozen for a year, and should be thawed in the refrigerator the day before you intend to use them. You might try freezing a few eggs and see if the results are acceptable to you.
Reply:yep, freezer ice trays work perfectly for this
