Speaking of eggs, one of the few useful things I got from that Doomsday Preppers show was that if you coat eggs with food grade mineral oil they will last at least 9 months with no refrigeration. I'm going to have to give that a try. Might be good to buy a couple 5 dozen packages, and rotate them out.

I read you can also use jojoba oil, and it’s not a petroleum based oil (egg shells are porous.)

Or you can hard-boil them and they will last even longer.

I have about 3 #10 cans of powdered eggs, hey, it ain’t the Hilton, but you can come up with quite a few decent meals.

About ever two months I hit the bulk food joint around here - 5 dozen eggs for around five dollars.

Remember hearing about gold rush times when an egg would cost you ten dollars?
Might be worse this time!!

“”that if you coat eggs with food grade mineral oil they will last at least 9 months with no refrigeration””

I grew up on a farm and before we had a refrigerator, our eggs were kept in the cellar in a crock (not crock pot) in a white slimey substance. I have no idea what it was called or how it was made. I do remember going down to get eggs out of it. Is there anyone here old enough to remember the same thing?

Get eggs fresh and “uncleaned”. Store in a cool dry place and only clean off the feathers, chicken poop, etc as you need to use them.

They will keep for months.
