What kind of oil did you use?
What kind of oil did you use?
I saw the same show, but I don't remember what kind of oil.... assume it was vegetable oil. I don't know that I'd want to eat a 2 year old egg that hadn't been refrigerated. And you can bet I'd be cracking that shell outside. LOLI admit it. I watched that prepper show, and decided to oil some of my ladies eggs. Now, I have a dozen oiled eggs I'm wondering HOW to useHave any of you tried oiling eggs and, if so, what can you use them for, other than deviled eggs? Did oiling change the taste/texture?
Thanks for the tip and the smile!I purposefully rotten some eggs in my basement one year. I put them in a bucket and then waited until I could just smell the "woofy" scent. I read that the smell of rotten eggs helps keep deer out of your garden. I thought why not, I've got lots of eggs!!
Well, first I was shocked at how long it took for them to rot. And then I used a spoon to fling them along the border of the garden. I think it kept the deer out, but it also kept ME out. GAG, that smell lingered. However, it attracted every raccoon, possum and skunk in the valley.

Oh my Gosh, that is too funny!!! That isn't a job, that's a punishment!!This is a funny story but the rotten eggs, makes me think of my dad.
My dad (passed away now) was a Navy Commisaryman in the Korean War. Towards the end of their tour, they had to go through the eggs and find out what was good. He said that they would sit with two bowls, if they cracked the eggs and it looked and smelled good, it went in bowl number one, eggs that were black (yes black) went into bowl number two and were thrown overboard.
He said the smell was nauseating and would send the younger new guys out getting sick overboard. I could not understand why the eggs had gotten so bad so quick since he said it was a refridgerated unit they were in, he said some of these eggs had been sitting around some Navy storage since WWII and unless they had been cracked or blew up of their own accord, they were put into the coolers to use!!!! WWII eggs being used about 10 years later, ugh, thats just unbelievable.
The only bad thing I could see about using a vegitable or other cooking oil is that is would go rancid after a short time (6-8 months). Where mineral oil wouldn't.Mineral oil? Ooohh...I would have used veggie oil at least.
