Uncured egg storage

Post by Racer » Thu Jul 12, 2012 9:12 pm

Here's a question for you egg curing gurus. I am fairly new to curing and am not sure how long uncured eggs can be kept in the refrigerator. I will be going on a trip and any eggs caught will be in the fridge for about 4 days before I can get them cured. Will this be a problem? The plan is to get them done after and into the freezer.

I went through the forums and either couldn't find or didn't see the answer. Any help is appreciated.

Why not just take some cure and ziplock baggies and cure them in the field? I've kept cured eggs in the fridge in a ziplock for a month before freezing and not had any problem. Don't know about fresh.
Here is a good How-to video..

Definitely want to get them cured as fast as possible, otherwise they start to deteriorate.

Thanks for the tip on the video. That is one I haven't seen and shows good in the field curing.
