Duck eggs just make any recipe calling for eggs a little richer! I eat them just like I would chicken eggs but here are lot's of recipes that call for eggs (including some WONDERFUL pancakes): http://2mooses.weebly.com/mics-recipes.html

Yeah, that'll happen with any fresh egg. The eggs need to age a little so that there's a little less mass inside the shell - kind of room for the air to cushion the white from the shell. I usually just leave some out on the counter at room temp for about a week and they do fine.

Have you tried adding salt to the water when you hard boil the eggs? I do out of habit - most chefs do, I think, I was told it makes them easier to peel - and I have never noticed duck eggs being harder to peel than chicken eggs. Just harder to get that initial crack.

Yep! 2X

Alternatively, if they just get a little too ugly for deviled eggs and you need to bring something to the potluck, try the UK version of our picnic favorite: Scotch Eggs. I have a recipe on my website http://2mooses.weebly.com/egg-recipes.html. I LOVE them! They're good hot or cold.​

This is awesome guys! I'm already cooking up a bunch of little meal plans...sadly I did not get to try out duck egg pancakes this morning, as my dad surprised us all with early morning breakfast burritos...not to say that I wasn't thrilled, my dad is an EXCELLENT cook! But I was a little disappointed at not being able to try my hand at ducky pancakes

ahhh, well, I guess I'll just have to wait for tomorrow morning, I might even post a pic of them

...Well, If they aren't scarfed down by the time I get out my camera

duck egg salad is still my favorite... coddled duck eggs (more tender than hard boiled), mayo and salt! on fresh white or squaw bread. perfect!

if you bake, try making egg bread with duck eggs - amazing!
also good in pumpkin pie.

IDK if it works for duck eggs too, but I don't know why not. With chicken eggs I read on here that you add salt to the water (this increases the boiling point) Then after you boil the eggs drop them right into a bowl of cold water. I tried this and got perfect eggs everytime! hope this helps.

i now use duck eggs in all my baking, the colour is a lot richer and make the cakes tastier and fluffier. all my family/friends have complimented me on my baking since using my own duck eggs (not that the didnt before i hasten to add)!

I use duck eggs for all my baking, and cornbread is awesome made with duck eggs. But haven't tried anything yet that didn't turn out great.

I have a recipe for cornmeal blueberry pancakes that I plan to use duck eggs in tomorrow morning. Have actually managed to save a cup of blueberries (that otherwise would have been feed to the spoiled ducks) for this breakfast treat! Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled ducks!

it's not the "duck" part of the equation, its the freshness. that said, duck eggs have thicker shells and dry out slower than chicken eggs. the reason the eggs separate from the shell is that the membrane around the egg has dried a bit. I leave the duck eggs on the counter for a week or so to let them dry out a bit before boiling them. my hubby swears adding vinegar to the water helps. some folks say salt. I also put the eggs in an icebath as soon as they come out of the hot water. it halts the cooking process, so they don't get rubbery and green around the yolk, and in theory it helps with clean peeling too.
