Waterglassing eggs - safe or not?

[Zsuzzzs]

Hi everyone! As we are in the middle of winter and my girls just started to give more eggs after a loooong molting season I figured I will try to take eggs away for the next molting season in the spring, because I had to BUY eggs, which is obviously ridiculous with a flock of 14 hens
But as far as I can see FDA does not recommend the technique. As I'm not American I have no Idea how seriously should I take this, or should I just do it anyway. I've seen concerns about botulism, salmonella etc. But if you do it right, and you cook your preserved eggs throughout there should be no problem right?
Thanks for your opinions/experiences!

You would have to do your research and determine what is safe for your personal use. There's always risk when preserving home goods...well, there's risk in buy store bought goods too, have you looked at all the recalls...

Anyway. Waterglassing has been around since the 1800s. Many people still use this method to preserve eggs today.
