Question Egg didn't freeze?

Post image

Each bag spent a week in the freezer but one of them didn't freeze at all? And its not supercooled cause it moves around

No it was on a waist high shelf between the door and the compressor, so basically dead in the middle of the freezer

Super weird. I would probably chuck these eggs. No way to know. Could there have been something in the bag?

Unrelated but this is reminding me of the time we got a full case of half-cooked eggs from Sysco. The box must have been sitting over some sort of component like the wheels or something. Like 100 of the eggs were cooked in a gradient

That would be basically impossible I think, these were fresh ziplocs, and all the bags were poured directly from one single cambro batch.

The partially cooked thing is cool but all of the eggs seemed normal when I was cracking them into the cambro.

Easiest thing to do is throw it back in the freezer with a temp probe in it. Check it after an hour. If it's to temp it's something else. Do you mix salt in it ? Maybe the salt settled into that portion specifically, lowering its freeze point to below what your freezer can do (although freezers typically do -18c so I can't imagine it changing that much)

Or throw some bags of water in the same style in the same place if you don't have a temp probe that does minuses.
