1. Wash the eggs and put them slowly in a container full of lime water or mustard oil. The eggs will not only be preserved for long - they will not get spoiled either.
2. For storing eggs for longer time say for about 30-40 days, you should apply any cooking oil with the help of brush on the egg shell. They will stay for long time.

Do people really have raw eggs around the house for 30-40 days?

I do. Sometimes. Daughter and I are allergic to eggs. Husband is the only
one who eats them.

I am glad you adked the question about having the raw eggs around so long?
Why would you need tham that long? If I were needing to do that, would
probably break them in to the larger ice cube trays and freeze. If you put
boiled egges in vinigar, they eventually taste like that, why wouldn't the
raw eggs pick up the lime taste?

I think that the OP was referring to lime water as in calcium hydroxide
solution - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_of_lime rather than the juice
of the fruit (could be wrong of course...)

try Googling "lime water" preserving eggs.

Tell him to make egg-mcmuffins. I love eggs over easy with the yolks runny
as hell. But after about a week the yolks get thinner and tend to break
when
you try frying them. And while I like scrambled eggs well enough when they
are scrambled -before- frying, I can't stand it when people go to fry and
egg
and the yolk breaks then they try "scrambling" it in the frypan. So I start
off
eating my eggs over easy on toast with the yellow yolks running all over the
toast. My wife thinks they are disgusting (which is part of the fun) Then I
switch over to egg-mcmuffins which require that the yolk break so that it
can
be throughly cooked, until the box is gone. My wife calls those
"cholesterol
sandwhiches" Heh.

If you cook the yolk you can almost ignore the expiration date.

Because I was curious, I asked out farm extension people about this. They
didn't think it was too good an idea but I am sure you have done it for
years so it worked for you. Parting words were, lady can't you find some
old person who would like half a dozen eggs? Or, you can buy half dozen in
most stores. He thought it was me. I was pleased he still thought there
was people older than me!!!

For many years I lived in a remote cabin in northern Canada (50 miles
from the nearest town). Our chickens would stop laying in November and
not start up again until late February, so we would stop selling eggs
in October and store them up to last the winter. Kept cool, they are
totally fine. This is standard practice in this part of the country
and has been for generations and I've never heard of anyone having a
bad egg or getting sick. However these are healthy, organically grown,
free-range chickens -- I don't think I would try this with factory-
farmed eggs (which are often one to two months old by the time you buy
them).

Soaking eggs in water of any kind is a bad idea though. It allows any
contamination in the water or on the outside of the egg to be absorbed
into it. Brushing with oil might work ...

Storing eggs in lime water has been practiced for over a century,
and I've no idea how much longer. Its reckoned they keep about 9
months in lime. Calcium lime, not fruit lime.
