Whole
 Eggs:  To freeze whole eggs or yolks crack them into a bowl and gently 
stir to break up the yolk somewhat. Try not to incorporate air into the 
eggs. Label the container with the date and the number of eggs. They can
 be kept frozen for a year, and should be thawed in the refrigerator the
 day before you intend to use them. 
Egg
 Yolks:  To inhibit yolks from getting lumpy during storage, stir in a 
1/2-teaspoon salt per 1-cup of egg or yolks. If using for desserts, use 
1-tablespoon sugar or corn syrup per 1-cup yolks or whole eggs. Label 
the container with the date and the number of egg yolks. Use up extra 
egg yolks in recipes like sauces, custards, ice cream, yellow cakes, 
mayonnaise, scrambled eggs, and cooked puddings. 
Egg
 Whites:  Raw egg whites do not suffer from freezing (cooked egg whites 
are very rubbery). No salt or sugar is needed. Break and separate the 
eggs one at a time, making sure that no yolk gets into the whites. Pour 
into trays and freeze until firm. Label the container with the date and 
the number of egg whites. Use up extra egg whites in boiled frostings 
(i.e., 7-minute frosting), meringue cookies, angel food cake, white 
cakes, or meringue for pies. 
Hard-Cook
 Egg Yolks: Hard-cooked egg yolks can be frozen to use later for 
toppings or garnishes. Carefully place the yolks in a single layer in a 
saucepan and add enough water to come at least I inch above the yolks. 
Cover and quickly bring just to boiling. Remove from the heat and let 
stand, covered, in the hot water about 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted
 spoon, drain well and package for freezing.
 
 
Hard-cooked whole eggs and whites become tough and watery when frozen, so don't freeze them.
