Eggs On Sale Freezing Question

So eggs are finally on sale for me after several months, 99 cents for
18 large and I want to try freezing them. What's the 411. Ideally I
would like to just crack three eggs and dump them in a plastic produce
bag and defrost over night and make either fried eggs right out of the
bag or scramble them up. Is this doable? TIA.

"Don't freeze eggs in their shells. Crack them and beat them together with a
pinch of salt. (Or you can freeze egg whites alone with no salt.) Seal them
in an airtight container, freeze, and use within a year. Thaw them in the
refrigerator."

So apparently whole eggs aren't doable, but scrambled are. Dunno why.

I don't always beat them, just can't leave them in the shells. NO idea why
not, but it sort of sounded like a bad idea to me too, so I just don't. Be
sure to use the pinch of salt if you do yolks only too, or they get kind of
funky.

I assume that you can't leave them in their shells as the eggy stuff inside
will expand as it freezes, but the shell of coure won't, so it will crack.

Not that I've ever tried freezing eggs, but I have exploded more than one
glass bottle in the freezer after leaving it too long when just wanting to
cool it off quick.

Agree on the explosion concept. Take one egg (whole), put it in a zip top
bag, and put it in the freezer overnight. Look at the results. If it did
not explode, let it thaw (leave it in the bag) and see what happens...
