The Top 6 Historical Egg Preservation Techniques
Published 22 Jun 2015
In today's video, we explore six egg preservation methods that were used in households from the 18th century to well into the 20th century. Early tests reveal that some of these methods were incredibly effective. You won't believe how successful the top-rated method worked! Caveat: this video is intended to only present the methods and tests results outlined in historical texts. We have not tested these methods ourselves, and we can not guarantee similar results.

british eggs don' t need to be refrigerated to it also means that condensation doesn' t form on the outside of an egg once you remove it from the fridge in the supermarket, which can cause serious problems for bacterial growth inside the egg if the buyer doesn' t dry the eggs before storing them.
the trade-off is that in the uk you need to wash your hands after handling eggs in the kitchen

here in germany it is not allowed to wash eggs before selling them to the consumer and it is also not allowed to that is indeed the reason why eggs are quite long durable here (maybe 3-4 weeks) and you do not have to cool eggs for the first 1-2 weeks.

from apoint of view, both wood-ash and lime create an alkaline environment. many bacteria depend on their environment having a slightly lower ph (being more acidic) than their cytoplasm (the liquid inside the cell wall) using the difference to create energy by letting h+ ions (protons) flow through the membrane in a controlled fashion. The same principle generates energy in the mitochondria of our own cells.
so, by generating an alkaline (high ph) environment, bacteria using this technique are cut off from their energy supply. Plus, alkaline environments wreak havoc on the plasma membrane over time.
but of course we know how that works today. Its fascinating to see these techniques used to such great effect by people who didn' t even know for sure wheter or not bacteria actually existed: d
