Would it be oaky? I know I can freeze egg whites but am wondering about the yolks.

Thank you.

Oh sure. In fact bakeries generally buy the majority of their eggs frozen. They'll have 10 or 20 gallons buckets of frozen whites and another bucket of frozen yolks.

Thank you!!! That helps me a lot!

Martha Stewart says you can and I have trried it without too much trouble.

I didn't know you could do this. Do you just put in an airtight container and freeze? Is there a max timeframe these should be frozen. Any info will be appreciated (I hate throwing away yolks or whites). Thanks.

Can you use them for something like Bavarian Cream filling? or can it be used for flan?

leah - in those buckets are the yolks intact?

I've read that you should only store whole yolks (either frozen or refrigerated) and either spray them with cooking spray or push plastic wrap down onto them. Otherwise a skin forms that will not easily incorporate into whatever you're making.

I've frozen yolks this way and used for custard. No problems!

ive seen either martha stewart or sara molten from food network place each yoke in ice cube tray compartment and then cover and freeze

I've been throwing mine out. What can you use them for? I hate wasting if I can use them in something else, that would be great.

In the Cake Bible, she has recipes for cakes using egg yolks only...

I can always make those cakes and freeze them for later...

I put them into ziploc bags and freeze. Usually 8 yolks per bag, that way I have them pre-measured for cake or custards.

alimonkey,
No 10 gallons of yolks are not intact. It's a big yellow soup. In a bakery all ingredients are measured by weight. The eggs are pasteurized.

So what is the conversion rate. I am going to buy a scale monday. What is the weight of one egg.
