Introduction
Do you often find yourself with extra eggs that you can't use in time? Freezing eggs is an incredibly useful hack, and using an ice cube tray makes it even easier. This simple trick is ideal for preserving eggs for later use without worrying about spoilage. Let’s dive into why cracking eggs into an ice cube tray is a smart move for your kitchen!
Why Freeze Eggs in an Ice Cube Tray?
1. Convenience for Future Use
Freezing eggs allows you to store them for later use, and an ice cube tray makes it easy to portion them out. You can freeze eggs individually or in a combination of yolks and whites, perfect for when you need just one or two at a time. It’s like having egg "cubes" ready to go!
2. Prolong Shelf Life
Eggs generally last 3-5 weeks in the fridge, but if you have a surplus or you're planning ahead, freezing eggs is a great way to extend their shelf life. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 12 months.
3. Space Efficiency
An ice cube tray is a small, compact tool that doesn't take up much space. You can easily stack multiple trays in your freezer without cluttering your space, and each egg portion will stay neatly separated.
4. No Waste
Freezing eggs helps reduce food waste, especially when you buy eggs in bulk or have a dozen eggs about to reach their expiration. You can freeze them and save them for baking, scrambling, or making sauces later.
