make the mix in a large jar,,or crock,,or bucket,, or whatever,, submerge the eggs into it,,dont drop,, it make a thick jell,, keep them covered. I used one up,,will filling another,, just keep roatating. I used them up to 6 months later,, and they cooked just like fresh. If your in a dry climate,, you may need to add water once and awhile as it evaporates. When you use them,,just wipe and crack

about this "water glass" can you put another round of eggs in in, once the others are used up?

-- Lynnda (venus@zeelink.net), November 28, 2001.


yes,,take the eggs out as you need them,, then I add alittle more water,, depending,, and refill,,, that why I keep 2 jars,,one being used,, and the other being filled. Water will evaporate from it,,so you have to add some once in awhile,, have heard of some people using a 10 to 1 mix,, wich would make it last a LONG time,, and give you alot to start.

Stan,do you have to keep a lid or kind of top on the crock with the eggs and water glass in it? Please email me directly.Michele.
