Eggs with fissures are sold as sariwa or fresh duck eggs. Eggs with thin shells but have no cracks are made into salted red eggs. Dip eggs in a mixture of salt, garden soil, and water.

As a starter, put 3 canfulls of salt (using common powdered milk can) to ½ pail of garden soil that have been strained. Add water gradually. Stop adding water to soil when mixture sticks to your fingers when you dip these in the salty muck. Coat eggs with soil-salt mixture and store for 18 days. On the 19th day, wash and hard-boil the eggs.

Finally, dip salted eggs in a solution or red dye. The next batch of eggs can be processed using the previous mixture, but add one canful of salt. Eggs are stored in a box measuring 14 x 14 x 21 inches.

    @erwin, put the eggs inside a fishnet bag (available in wet market) and dip it into red-dye coloring solution.

    Hi, we are planning to expand our operations from producing red eggs to balut making. We would like to seek your assistance regarding egg incubators that are manufactured here. We have already seen wooden chambers/ 10,000 eggs capacity in Victoria Laguna, Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija. Normally, as we were informed, would cost around P35,000 per chamber. We have also seen “Hi-Tech” egg incubators locally assembled but are too expensive. A 10,000 egg capacity would normally range from P275,000 to P300,000. We would appreciate so much if you could give us contact persons who are manufacturing egg incubator chambers for balut production so that we can compare cost. Hoping for your reply. Thanks so much

    We raise ducks and those that are not bought for balut making, we make into salted eggs. Not just any garden soil will do, best if you use soil from anthills.
