Eggs & Egg Beaters Questions

[delldell2]

Two questions--
1. Okay this is sort of dumb, but can you drink egg beaters just mixed out of the carton?
2. Can I make a bunch of hard-boiled or scrambled eggs one day to eat several days later? Does the protein breakdown after a certain time?

Yes, the egg beater's is pasteurized so you can drink it out of the carton (might taste like crap).

And the protein in the eggs won't break down - but after a few days the eggs will spoil like any other food. Keep them refrigerated after cooking and they'll be fine for three or four days.

Thanks. I haven't tried the egg beaters yet, but I bet it does taste pretty nasty.

3-4 days...sounds pretty good. Does it matter if they're scrambled or hard-boiled. Damn, it'd make breakfast so much easier to prepare in advance.

 

[Stryc-9]

Scrambled or hard-boiled - both are fine - once the eggs are cooked they'll be fine for a few days (refrigerated of course).

what section of the store do you find egg beaters? and why are they better than eggs? i would imagine they are more expensive...

Egg beaters are just the whites so there is no cholesterol. It is in the egg aisle.

I have drank it straight up before but it made me gag so f'in bad. What I do on CKD is mix it in with a tall glass of water. This way it is not so bad.

I've been eating egg geaters for months now. 1/4 cup of it is equal to 1 egg. It has:
0g Fat
6g protein
1g Carb

I usually just make an omlet with 'em every morning.

 

[delldell2]

Yeah they're more expensive($2.10). I thought they'd be more convenient, but I think I'll stick to preparing hard-boiled eggs every 3 days.

Stock up on the Egg Beaters or Egg Whites in the carton when they are on sale & stick em right in the freezer when you get home. Then just let them thaw out & use them. They last longer & may swell up a little in the freezer but willl be ok. I use the Egg Whites in the carton when I make turkey burgers, meatloaves, etc + also make scrambled eggs. Tip: use a dash of egg beaters to the whites to make it look more like scrambled eggs.

you can also mix it in skim or fat free milk and you dont even taste them
