Freezing eggs?

[cab54]

Can you freeze eggs? I mean raw, but scrambled, and put in a ziplock bag or plastic container?

I don't want to pay for egg-beaters, but want to have eggs handy this winter (heavy snow here and want to avoid store-runs).

I'm thinking if I whisked eggs a bit, and put them in a zilock, froze them right away, they'd be OK? Anyone tried this?

I found this, as I didn't know if eggbeaters were the same as regular raw eggs or not.

if the link doesnt work here's what it says:

Step 1Collect small, plastic containers with lids. Yogurt containers work well if the eggs are being frozen separately. If more than one egg is being frozen together, sour cream containers do the trick.

Step 2Crack the eggs into the containers. Add a pinch of salt to preserve each egg; a container with two whole eggs would get two pinches of salt. Stir gently but don't break the yolk or create froth.

Step 3Tear a square of plastic wrap off the roll. Pull it taut over the top of the plastic container. Snap the lid in place over the plastic wrap.

Step 4Write the date and number of eggs in the container on a piece of masking tape and stick it to the top of the lid. Put the container on a level surface in the freezer.

Step 5Thaw the frozen eggs in the refrigerator for about 12 hours when you are ready to use them. Use the eggs as soon as they're thawed completely so that they don't go bad.

Another way of doing this is to tak as many eggs as you want to freeze beat them with a little salt and then fill up ice cube trays. Let freeze and then pop them out and put in a freezerbag. One cube equals one egg.

Here's yet one more link that says pretty much the same thing:

Another egg option: I keep powdered whole eggs in storage (as well as powdered egg yolks and whites). When powdered eggs are lower in price per egg than fresh eggs, usually in the winter, I use powdered eggs. Powdered eggs also work great in my homemade mixes.

Thanks, you guys! I'm glad to see it's a safe and good option.

Grainlady--I could bake with powdered eggs, but if I cooked them for breakfast, my dh would not eat them. He is very fussy about which eggs I buy already.
