5 Ways to Use Eggs Outside of the Kitchen

Check out these surprising uses for eggs.

Make a facial
Who has time or money to spend at the local day spa, paying someone to tell you how awful your skin looks? For a little pampering, head to the refrigerator and grab an egg. If you have dry skin that needs moisturizing, separate the egg and beat the yolk. Oily skin takes the egg white, to which a bit of lemon or honey can be added. For normal skin, use the entire egg. Apply the beaten egg, relax and wait 30 minutes, then rinse. You’ll love your new fresh face.

Use as glue
Out of regular white glue? Egg whites can act as a glue substitute when gluing paper or light cardboard together.

Add to compost
Eggshells are a great addition to your compost because they are rich in calcium — a nutrient that helps plants. Crushing them before you put them in your compost heap will help them break down faster.

Water your plants
After boiling eggs, don’t pour the water down the drain. Instead, let it cool; then water plants with the nutrient-filled water.

Start seeds
Plant seeds in eggshells. Place the eggshell halves in the carton, fill each with soil, and press seeds inside. The seeds will draw extra nutrients from the eggshells. Once the seedlings are about 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) tall, they are ready to be transplanted into your garden. Remove them from the shell before you put them in the ground. Then crush the eggshells and put them in your compost or plant them in your garden.
 
Amazing egg ideas Meanderer.I like fried eggs with a sprinkle of salt, or poached, or boiled [soft boiled.] They are very versatile though, and if you are stuck for a meal a simple omelette is nice with a salad.I only buy free range eggs, and like others have toyed with the idea of 3/4 hens, but then you are rather 'tied' as they need daily care.

Just last Sunday, a friend gave us a dozen free range eggs. They had a brown shell, and were smaller in size. We scrambled six a couple times this past week, and they were delicious. The yolks were a deeper yellow, but were a real treat. This guy ordered 25 chicks, and kept them in the house til it warmed up. By the time he moved them outside, they were filling the dining room. He has lost a few to predators, but on the whole are easy to manage. :) Three or 4 might prove to be easy. :)

oakapple, we raised chickens for a few years, enjoyed the free range eggs and sold the extras, but after I retired we wanted to be able to travel at will and it was a chore to get someone to look after them. We sold them to a farm a few miles down the road and now buy eggs from them.

Chickens do have to be secure at night ( and watched in the daytime) because they are a favorite meal of many predators.
 
I could never stand runny eggs, soft yolks in any style. yolks must be dry, whether fried, boiled, scrambled. I'm not a picky eater, but soft egg yolks I cannot do.

Love egg salad w/ crumbled bacon & watercress
