So, I tried water-glassing eggs for the first time, and decided to hard-boil a batch to pickle.
turns out that 10 weeks in line water is not NEARLY enough time - the water-glassing really does stop the aging process.
I boiled up 20, I could only pickle 15 because they peeled so ugly that five basically became a rough egg salad…
and not one of the remaining eggs peeled intact.
I guess I will have to set a batch of eggs to age on the table for about three weeks before I hard-boil them.
what I did notice is that the whites had a slightly sweet-ish taste from what they normally do, so I guess the lime water had that effect.
learning something new is fun.
