3. Yes, when you freeze eggs raw the yolks do get rubbery. But all is fine they taste

,... good.

We found that out this winter, it was abnormally very cold this year, and it started early in the winter season. After a grocery shopping trip we got home and unloaded the bags from the car to bring to the kitchen and pantry. I placed the eggs from the trunk of the car and left them on a bench in the garage to bring them in the kitchen last/seperate to protect the eggs from getting broken. This is when the eggs were priced at about $5/dozen. Well I forgot the eggs out in the garage and forgot to bring them in the kitchen.

No heat out there so the eggs froze solid. A few days later I found the eggs frozen. We let them thaw and tried to make omelets using the previously frozen eggs. They were fine, but as you said in the thread, in the mixing bowl we had to chase the yolks around to break them, being that they now had a rubbery consistency after having been frozen out in the garage. The omelets came out yummy, and the $5 eggs did not go to the waste bin.

Did not mean to hijack this thread with my frozen egg story.
