Break up into as small pieces as possible in order to get rid of the moisture. Afterwards put into a food processor to break up into smaller pieces. Put into dehydrator on 135 degrees for about 16 hours. Now put your golden nuggets thru a grinder (I use a coffee grider) to pulverize into a powder. Eighteen eggs make approximately 1 pint of product. I then put into a pint mason jar and remove all the air and seal the jar. I would assume that since you are pulverizing cooked eggs into a powder that salmonella wouldn't be a risk factor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177053578845855367.post-69681041642063299772016-06-13T09:55:34.313-07:002016-06-13T09:55:34.313-07:00Thanks!

Silly me, I was only thinking about whether eggs cooked before dehydrating could be used in cooking or baking, and I didn't even think about rehydrating them as scrambled eggs. I bet this would make even better omelets than the eggs I dehydrate from raw. That's probably what previous commenters or those who emailed me were getting at, and it went right over my head!

I was trying to learn how to do email on my cell phone, and I messed up a few things before figuring it out. I apologize to those people. <br /><br />One person asked if the eggs could be cooked first and then dried. They could be but I'm not sure how they would be used them. I don't know if they could be added to things like pancake batter or cookie dough and still do what they're supposed to do if they're precooked. If a person diced or sliced boiled eggs you might be able to dry them and use them in potato salad or other recipes.. I might give that a try and see how it works.<br /><br />I can't remember what the other person asked, but if you get on here and read this, please leave your comment again and I'll see that it gets posted.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Susan.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08902443939027771179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177053578845855367.post-61152294507751656432015-11-14T18:36:47.947-08:002015-11-14T18:36:47.947-08:00I think you may be the first person to ask this. ...I think you may be the first person to ask this.

I suggest that you find the coolest, darkest place in your home to store the dehydrated eggs. It might be a lower cabinet in your kitchen, or under a bed, or any place dark and cool. <br /><br />At a standard room temperature of 70 degrees they should keep 6 months to a year. Make sure your container is as air-tight as possible. Glass is good, but you can also vacuum seal them in food saver bags. Less good is plastic bottles or metal cans. <br /><br />Light is one of your biggest enemies. It will turn the fats in the eggs rancid, so the best thing you can do for your dehydrated eggs it to keep them in the dark, even if your rooms are somewhat warm.<br /><br />I hope this helps.
