Midnightmom Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 A friend gave me some duck eggs. I've never had duck eggs before - are they better for eating or for baking? Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I don't know but Mt. Rider will. She used to have ducks and knows all about them. If she doesn't see this in a day or so shoot her a PM. Lucky you! 1 Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Hmmm.....I may be late for this answer. OK...some folks think duck eggs are stronger tasting and don't like to use them for a fried egg breakfast. We don't think so but YMMV. Their diet may change the flavor too....ours were free range plus wild bird food. They even ate small salamanders..... TMI? As for baking, duck eggs [and goose eggs especially!!] have a "proportionately larger" yolk. That means they are treasured by bakers. They do have a harder shell so ya hafta give it a fairly strong whack to open them. ..... ....imagine when we had to switch to the more frail shell of chicken eggs after whacking our "Flintstone brontosaurus eggs" for decades... MtRider ....for what it's worth by this time... 2 Quote Link to comment

Seems to be working for me. 2 Quote Link to comment
