Zero Waste Eggshell Hack to transform cookware, nourish plants and sharpen blender blades?

Zero Waste Eggshell Hack to transform cookware, nourish plants and sharpen blender blades?

Posted by IT Admin on

Next time you crack an egg, keep the shell and try this little hack out.  (See notes and written instructions below)

 

 

NOTE: It works AMAZINGLY well to clean cookware, and I think it's pretty good for your plants, but I'm not convinced it sharpens blender blades.

Make sure to compost the leftovers, DON'T wash them down your drain as it could lead to clogs.

How easy is it?
It took me about 10 minutes of dedicated time - rinsing eggs, removing shells from water and blending / clean up.

Steps: SEE VIDEO BELOW
1- Rinse 8 - 12 shells.
2- Put shells in large pot, ideally in a submerged steamer, and bring to light boil, then turn off heat and leave overnight.
3- Pull out shells and use leftover water for plants
4- Put shells in blender.
5- Mix blended shells with 3 - 5 squirts of etee dish soap (of course) and use to clean up stainless steel cookware.
6- Compost shells.
