liquid egg

[ramtops]

I don't often post links on this blog, but this one was just too extraordinary to keep to myself.

Designed, apparently, for people who are "too lazy to crack an egg". I despair. Spotted on Nothing to do with Arbroath, a daily miscellany that's well worth reading.

My DrGourmet diet from America uses a lot of liquid egg, but it's a low fat variety with a higher proportion of egg white. I never bothered, I just used, hey, an egg.

You can get vacuum packed single eggs too. Because eggs don't come in their own natural packaging or anything like that...

I can almost see the point of a vacuum packed egg as a storecupboard standby, a bit like dried egg.

The mind boggles.

Some sort of long-life, storecupboard liquid egg product I could understand, but a litre of liquid egg that will go off in no time flat compared to cracking on yourself?

Very common in the US ... particularly for catering ... whether it's scrambled eggs or pancakes or whatever ...

... and yes, there's a lower impact version called "eggbeaters" that's the same stuff but with less fat/fewer calories etc.

YUK!
An egg is 'in an instant' anyway, isn't it?

I used to use those eggs in cartons by the recycle bucket load. If you work nightshift in a factory cafe, and are making scrambled eggs for 300...

Yeah, it has its uses! This was about 15 years ago, but I had no idea people outside of mass catering used them.
