can i add more eggs to the same pickled egg juice once the others are gone?

Question

hello, I just started making pickled eggs and I was wondering if I could just add more eggs to the same pickled egg juice or if I had to make more. thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Some of the acid content and salt is absorbed into the first batch of eggs, so the concentration is reduced.

If the concentrations fall too low, the pickling process will not retard the decay process.

You can 'top up' any salt, but for the vinegar, you might want to add a bit of the 'concentrated pickling vinegar' or 'vinegar essence'.

You might want to bring the liquid to the boil (before you top up) if you are concerned about hygiene, but the acid and salt are the long time traditional 'disinfecting agents' anyway, which is WHY they were used from ancient times! Do NOT boil the mixture in an aluminum pan, it will dissolve it and the aluminum can cause health problems! Use Stainless Steel or ceramic.

You might want to add a little more spices to refresh them.

You probably shouldn't keep reusing too many times, the spices will get stale, and the ingredients aren't too expensive.

Answer 2

Brine For Pickled Eggs

Answer 3

Pickled Egg Brine

Answer 4

yes just make sure u clear the juice of any egg shells or foreign objects then u can reuse the same juice just might take your eggs a little longer to pickle...

Answer 5

of course you can, the pickling of the eggs has no effect on the pickling brine used to pickle it (loys of pickle words in that sentence XD)

its fine to re-use it

Answer 6

No...you can use the same stuff. However all it consists of is vinegar, water and maybe some black pepper. Why not just make a fresh batch?

Answer 7

I think as long as you reheated the liquid it would be OK.
I know I would try it, perhaps with a couple of eggs to begin with.

Answer 8

i've done so without any ill effects, but i wouldn't do it more than, say, twice.

Answer 9

I have been told that yes, you can reuse it---but only once.
