Subject: Egg Storage?

Does anyone know anything about a product called Ke-Peg? I can't seem to find anything out except from the company that markets it. Has anyone used it? Does it work? I asked this question a couple of days ago, but no answer yet. Am I too impatient or did I word my subject wrong? Thanks for any info.

Corinne

I saw your first post and wondered how there could be such a thing as KePeg. I do Pysanky and varnish my eggs. In cold countries one can leave the egg intact. However, the insides always go bad. In desert climates, an intact egg that is varnished (i.e. have the pores of theshell blocked) will explode in time. The orientals used to bury eggs for a time, dig them up and eat them prepared a special way.(Call 1000 yr.eggs.) Personally, I wouldn't eat a rotten egg. Permapak and emergency Essentials sell a decent powdered egg product. Havesome Waltons but haven't tried it yet. Good luck.

Subject: Eggs again


Thanks, Libby. I'm really new to this forum and I've been looking at your posts. I've even printed out a couple of recipes that I want to try. (I think they were yours.) Anyway, Happy Hovel sells Ke-Peg and claims it was a product used LONG ago that a girl "recently" rediscovered and had analyzed so it could be marketed. No one else seems to have heard of it either. Guess I'll order the powdered eggs from Walton. Al gave me a couple of egg-coating recipes that I just might try out on a few eggs to see what happens!

Unless you know the chicken that lays the egg for the Ke-Peg coat, I would beware. Remember, LONG ago, laying hens were not fed chemicals, inhibitors,antibiotics, etc.. There was not as much incident of salmonella as today for the aforementioned reason. Chickens were...healthier, on the average.. So please, take every precaution when you try it. Sometimes, products from the past didn't make a comeback for reason of serious drawback.

Thanks, Libby. Since I won't have any way of knowing the chickens, I think I'll get the powdered eggs. Add a little dehydrated bell pepper, a little bacon TVP, a little cheese powder and maybe I won't notice the difference! Once I get my order from Walton, which I haven't placed yet so I'm not complaining about the service, I plan to start trying out some of the goodies so we can get used to them and so we can start doctoring them to our tastes!

I believe this is the same product that Lehman's non-electric catalogue markets. Chemically, it is supposidly sodium silicate. Reportedly, mixing with a 5 gal bucket of water, one can then submerge 600 eggs in the bucket and they will keep.

I believe that back in the old days the product was known as water glass, and would keep eggs quite well. I think that unless you have your own layers and know what they are eating you are much better off with the freeze dried or powdered variety.
