If you have spare egg yolks left after making a dish that only required the whites, it is possible to keep them a little longer while you work out what dish to use the yolks in. Here are some suggestions for storing egg yolks safely.
Steps
Put the egg yolks into a small container.
Cover the yolks with either water or a small amount of melted butter.
Put a lid on the container and place the container in the refrigerator. Stored in this way, the egg yolks will keep for up to 5 days, refrigerated.- Drain the water before using the egg yolks in your recipe.
Community Q&A
- QuestionDoes it make a difference if the container is not covered with a lid?

Tips
Things You'll Need
