So I'm really new to the egg curing thing here, what I'm wanting to find out here is the different ways people cure eggs, steps took to cure eggs, why most say home cured are better then store bought?
Thanks Kevin, I know about fake eggs but what I'm looking for here is a way to get real eggs to last longer and trying to see what other people are doing to cure the eggs they have and then maybe play around a little and mix something in with what they are doing
big dog i asked matt that same question and he sent me that video... It helped a lot all of his videos do
No problem, I hope you guys learn some tricks from Matthew's videos.
I know I'll put one of the vids on and in no time I'm tying leaders and itchin to hook some fish.
Only helped some? If you follow that video's instructions and use the cure that he was using (with or without the garlic slam ola) you will have eggs that hold together well and catch fish.
Make sure you rotate the bags or jars, whichever you are curing in, for 3 days while keeping them in the fridge. I rotate mine (from one side to the other) every about 4 hours to get even coverage of the cure juice deposited on the eggs.
the first day the eggs juice out, the second day they start the re absorption process and by the end of the third day they generally will have re absorbed all that they will and are ready for packaging and freezing or using.
Ahh, the wonderful process of OSMOSIS!
p.s. do not cure eggs indoors unless you want your wife/girlfriend to beat you.
wear gloves, do the curing outside, and store them in a bait fridge. If you do not have a bait fridge get a cardboard box, line it an inch of newspaper and put 6 or so layers of paper towels on top of the newspaper. put all your bags or jars inside that to keep your fridge from becoming PINK or RED.
Where do you get canning jars?
I have several questions to add to the stash...(after watching the dragon fire cure video)
The dye powders have all the chems needed to successfully hold/preserve them (besides additives like the scents)?
Where do you get canning jars?
I thought skeins were very very delicate and shouldnt be handled without gloves, and in the video, he held them without gloves and he was slapping them all over the place.
Thanks... and if you do it indoors, you can cure in a room which you wanted to paint and save the extra work... haha
You should be able to get jars about anywhere. I get mine at bimart for the price is good there. I'm sure freddys walmart and any other place would have them as well.
The skein as far as I know is the hardier part it is the eggs that I worry about, but when you are curing enough I guess a few popped eggs aren't going to hurt.
As far as the cures I have been told they have everything in them that is needed to cure the eggs.
I dont know man, but its just like spinners...gotta tune yer cure to the fish yer fishin for...sometimes river specific too.
