How to make leather eggs

The main raw materials fresh duck eggs, quicklime, tea, salt, soda ash, yellow Dan powder, grass ash, loess, rice husk. Equipment utensils cylinder, basin and so on. Production method weighing the second tea 25 grams, 100 grams of salt, 165 grams of soda ash, 400 grams of quicklime, 10 grams of huangdan powder, 300 grams of wood ash, 1500 grams of loess, 2500 grams of rice husk. First, pour 1500 grams of hot water into the vat, put the tea, salt, soda ash, yellow dan powder into the vat and mix well, then put the sifted quicklime, loess, grass ash into the vat and mix well to become the mud. Choose 35 fresh duck eggs without broken marks, put on rubber gloves, pack mud one by one with the matched material mud, pack evenly and put it in the tank, seal it tightly with plastic film, and store it for 30-40 days under the condition of room temperature of 15℃~30℃ as a finished product. Process weighing → ingredients → package cover → storage → finished product.

Home-made lead-free eggs

The traditional method of egg production, almost all use Huangdan powder (traditional Chinese medicine), also known as Mittens, that is, lead oxide, and thus the lead content in the eggs is daunting, the following is the production of lead-free eggs.

Raw materials are:

Raw eggs: duck eggs (eggs, quail eggs can also be) 100

Salt: 3 two

Lime: 3 two

Soda ash: 3 two

Black tea: a little

Grasswood ash: seven

Rice hulls: the right amount (or sorghum shells, grass ash instead of)

Fresh water: appropriate amount

① Put salt in a pot and fry it, take it out and grind it when the explosion sound stops.

② the block of lime sprinkled with water, split into powder and sieve spare.

③ water, black tea, salt into the pot to boil, and then poured into the cylinder with lime, soda ash, grass ash, stirring well to make a paste, and then use it to wrap the egg. It should be noted that the operation must wear gloves to prevent strong alkali damage to the skin.

④Packed eggs on the rice husk rolling back and forth, sticky rice husk into another tank.

⑤After the tank is filled, it is sealed with yellow mud, salt and water.

Generally, after 25 days in spring and fall, 20 days in summer and 30 days in winter, the eggs can be turned into leather eggs. This method is simple and easy to use, regardless of the number of eggs can be used, in the family is very applicable.

Methods for making lead-free eggs

One, a liquid preparation: 50 liters of water in each of the two containers, a container with 2.5 kilograms of tea, another container with 2.5 kilograms of fresh cypress leaves, each boiled for 1 hour, and then the two containers of liquid filtration to the container with 3 kilograms of salt. Two containers and then add 25 liters of water, boiling again for 1 hour to be used. To the third container of salt completely dissolved, take all the supernatant, filtered into the two containers of boiling water after boiling again, and finally make up about 150 liters of cold boiled water, stirring evenly, cooled for the A liquid.

Second, the preparation of liquid B: 90 liters of liquid A, salt 2 kg, zinc sulfate 300 grams, held in a container, slowly and in batches to add 96% of sodium hydroxide 6 kg, to be dissolved and cooled, and then add the liquid A so that the liquid becomes 100 liters, stir, that is, the B liquid.

Three, the first dip: qualified fresh duck eggs (eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs can also be) into the B-liquid immersion, pay attention to all the eggs should be submerged in the liquid surface under 2 ~ 3 cm, 100 liters of B-liquid can be soaked eggs about 130 kg. Keep the temperature at 20 ~ 25 ℃, after 13 days can be, at this time the egg has solidified, but the flavor, color is not yet intact.

Four, re-immersion: 50 liters of the first dip used to dip eggs and 50 liters of liquid A mixed, that is, re-immersion. The first dipped eggs into the re-immersion liquid, temperature control at about 20 ℃, after 10 ~ 15 days, fish out of the wash and dry.

Fifth, dip the post-treatment: the paraffin wax melting, temperature control at about 90 ℃, the compound dip eggs into the paraffin wax liquid, after 3 ~ 5 seconds, remove, cooled for the finished product. Every 50 kilograms of eggs need paraffin wax 1.2 ~ 1.5 kilograms.

The eggs made with this method not only do not contain lead, but also contain a high level of zinc that is beneficial to the human body, the shelf life is also long, generally can be stored for 6 months.
