Emptying your fresh OSTRICH EGG and/or EMU EGG.

Tools for the job:

One Hammer , One Screwdriver , a Coffee Mug (to hold egg in place), One Large Mixing Bowl, and a Skewer and Flexi-Straw (provided).

Instructions for cracking your egg to eat & save the shell:

  1. Determine which end you want to be the “Top” of your egg and place it upside-down in the coffee mug.

  2. Use the screwdriver and place the tip on the bottom of the egg as close to the center as you can get. Now use the hammer to tap the screwdriver and create a starter hole. Continue using the hammer and screwdriver and chisel around your starter hole to create a larger hole about the size of a dime or nickel.

  3. Now that you have a hole in the egg, you need to loosen up the egg yolk & white inside. Take the skewer and stick it in the egg and start to mix everything up inside. Remove the skewer when finished.

  4. Bend and insert the short end of the flexible straw into the hole. Hold the egg vertically with a little slant over the mixing bowl. Now blow air through the straw and into the egg and push out all of the yolk/white. You may have to repeat this step a couple of times to get everything out.

  5. Once the egg is empty, you may rinse your shell out with warm soapy water. You may want to repeat this until the egg shell is fully cleaned. You can smooth out the hole in the egg shell with a file or some sandpaper. You now have a souvenir egg shell.

  6. Since you’ve already mixed up your egg yolk and whites together , you can now cook your egg using some sort of scrambled egg method. We like omelets, frittatas, or a baked quiche. Both Ostrich and Emu eggs taste delicious prepared either of these ways. If you wish to BOIL your egg or create a SUNNYSIDE UP egg, then unfortunatelyyou must sacrifice your souvenir egg shell and crack it with force. The choice is up to you. ENJOY!!!

Safe egg handling of your fresh Ostrich or Emu Egg

Protective Bloom - Farm fresh eggs have what is called a cuticle or bloom This is an invisible protective membrane over the shell that seals the egg from oxygen and bacteria.

Refrigeration - Though your egg still has the bloom, we still recommend refrigerating your egg for freshness and longevity. Per FDA requirements, we must refrigerate our stock of eggs. It is recommended that you refrigerate your egg once you’ve arrived at your location. Wipe off any excess residue, if any.

Long Drive - If you have to drive with your new egg for a long period, that is okay. Keep your egg at room temperature (or below 95 degrees) until you’ve arrived at your location and can put it into a refrigerator. Try to have the egg back into a refrigerator within 12 hours.

Thick Shell - Both Ostrich and Emu eggs have a much thicker shell compared to other eggs. This means the eggs are less porous and more protective over bacteria and contamination.

Fresh is Best - For best results please eat your egg within the freshness date, stickered on the egg.
