Q&A for How to Dehydrate Eggs for Powdered Eggs

You need the proper tray,-- one that has a slight lip on the side and no holes in it. They sell fruit leather trays that work perfectly for drying eggs.

The same as fresh eggs, as all that is removed from the products is the water.

Yes, though a microwave works better. To do it properly, don't take the egg out of the shell.

Yes, you can dehydrate quail eggs.

As long as the eggs are fully cooked, you can use any cooking method. They can then be dehydrated and prepared as in part two of this article.

1 Tbsp of powdered eggs is close to one large fresh egg after reconstitution. Remember the 1:2.5 ratio of eggs to water.

Most major sporting goods or outdoor recreation equipment retailers which sell camping or fishing equipment would sell dehydrators as well.

No, the microwave does not use dry heat on low temperatures for long periods.

Yes. Be sure to buy the freshest ones you can find, and pasteurize them before dehydrating.

After you follow proper procedure for cooking and dehydrating the eggs, you can vacuum seal the powdered eggs in small batches to keep it fresh for a longer period. I would also suggest as an extra precaution to add a 100cc oxygen absorber to each bag before sealing. If you also have Mylar bags, all the better! Place vacuum sealed bags in a Mylar bag, date and seal.

If the eggs are in a vacuum sealed package, then they should be fine. But if the vacuum package is opened (or if they weren't vacuum sealed), then the freezing process may add moisture, therefore logic would suggest they would spoil faster than dehydrated eggs that were (or remain) vacuum sealed.
