How long can you keep egg yolks?

Here are some tips for storing egg yolks:

* Store in an airtight container: This will help to prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator.

* Add a small amount of liquid: To prevent the yolks from drying out, add a tablespoon or two of water, milk, or cream to the container.

* Label and date the container: This will help you keep track of how long they have been stored.

Freezing egg yolks:

If you need to store egg yolks for longer than a few days, you can freeze them.

* Freeze them in a shallow container: This will allow them to freeze quickly and prevent ice crystals from forming.

* Add a pinch of salt or sugar: This will help to prevent the yolks from separating when they thaw.

* Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight: This will ensure that they thaw evenly and do not become watery.

Note: Frozen egg yolks can be stored for up to 6 months.
