STORE EGGS DISHES
MELC: Store Egg Dishes
Learning objectives: differentiate the two kinds of storage in storing eggs
identify the tips for storing raw and cooked eggs
I. INTRODUCTION
Keep egg dishes refrigerated until time to serve. Serve small platters of reheated
egg dishes at a time to ensure the food stays at the proper temperature. Replenish as
needed, or at least every 2 hours. Keep cold egg dishes on ice if they are going to stay out
longer than 2 hours.
II. MODULE CONTENT
Storage is done to maintain the quality of food, prolong the shelf-life, maintain an
adequate supply of food and ensure its safety for consumption.
Proper storage of food is very crucial in keeping food safe because the manner and
temperature of storage will affect the food’s susceptibility to bacterial growth, other
contaminants and infestation. Storing food will not improve its quality, it will only delay the
rate of deterioration, and thus the proper period of storage should also be observed.
Eggs should be stored properly to prevent increase in alkalinity and bacterial
growth. They should be stored in an oval, dry place to retard deterioration, as enzymatic
activity is greater at room temperature.
Keeping eggs as fresh as possible depends on the care taken by the farmer,
wholesaler, and grocer to refrigerate them at all times. After you have chosen your eggs
by size, grade, freshness, and type, proper storage will help maintain their quality.
Kind of Storage
• Cold Storage (refrigerated storage, deep chilling, freezer storage) keeping
potentially hazardous foods cold enough to prevent bacteria from growing.
The temperature of the freezer compartment must be at 0°F or less, and
the eggs should be stored in an area of the freezer where there is the
least amount of temperature fluctuation.
• Dry Storage should be dry, cool, well-ventilated, free from insects and rodents,
clean and orderly.
In the absence of refrigerators, eggs may be stored at room temperature for about
seven days. Left-over egg yolks and egg whites should be kept in containers that
will prevent drying.

Five Ways to Store Eggs without Refrigeration
1. Grease each egg carefully and thoroughly with Vaseline.
2. Paint each egg with sodium silicate (water glass).
3. Boil each egg 10 seconds.
4. Deep-freeze the eggs.
5. Turn over the eggs every two or three days.
Tips for Storing Raw and Cooked Eggs:

• Put eggs in the refrigerator as soon as possible after purchase.
• Keep them in their covered carton (large end up) to preserve moisture and assure
darkness. Do not put them in the egg box at the door of the refrigerator.
• Keep eggs away from strong odors. These can be absorbed through the shells,
which are porous.
• Whole eggs can be beaten slightly and placed in a container with a tight seal and
stored in the freezer for up to one year.
• Egg whites also can be stored for up to a year in a tightly sealed container in the
freezer.
• When storing egg yolks in the freezer, a small amount of sugar or salt should be
added to prevent the yolks from becoming too thick and gelatinous over time.
• Add a pinch of salt per yolk if the yolks will be used for savory dishes, or add about
a ¼ teaspoon of sugar per yolk if the yolks will be used for sweet dishes.
• Do not wash eggs before storing them. This destroys the mineral-oil film that coats
the shells and helps keep them fresh.
• Dip the eggs in oil to cover the pores and to delay its deteriorative changes, reduce
mold penetration and retard spoilage.
• Do not keep eggs longer than 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
• Left-over raw yolks can be refrigerated for several days when covered with water,
milk, or oil. Two yolks can be used in place of 1 whole egg in a recipe.
• Left-over raw whites can be stored in a tightly covered plastic or glass container in
the refrigerator for several days or as long as they do not have any odor. They can
also be frozen, although when thawed the white is thinner. However, you can use
them successfully in recipes calling for egg whites.
