Steely:

Yes, an egg is still an egg. Did the borax bit for many yrs., froze the eggs, took them out and guess what??? caught fish!!! Then decided better go with the sugar, salt, borax cure....put in jars and did the match/paper bit, for vaccum, stored until I needed........guess what?????caught fish....
Retired now, fish lot's, in area's(Grays Harbor County)that have lot's of "good fishermen". Bottom line is that some people catch more fish than others, ALL THE TIME!!!!!I'm not to old to change, and OHHHHHHH so glad I have. All my eggs are "put up" about the same way.... combination of sugar, salt, borax, Pro Glow(or other name brand product) and maybe some "smell."
Now I use a vaccum sealer to "suck the air out" and then freeze. Works!!!!!!

I'd tell you my the proporation's of each....but then I'd have to kill you, kidding but don't ask!!!
