I'm no egg guru but I just rip them out, butterfly the skeins, throw them in a gallon bag, and sprinkle some cure on them. Put in refrigerator and swish/flip the bags around a few times over the next couple of hours. Sometime within the week, I'll pull them out and usually air dry them for a few hours. Put in open freezer bags, freeze, then seal. Cut the bag open before thawing. Probably not "the best" eggs but they work.
