raw egg whites

[skinnyfat]

Everyone says not to eat raw egg whites, but all the guys in the past used to make shakes out of them, and didn't have chronic salmonella poisoning. Anyone still do this, and how often do you get sick?

yeah some people on the board still mix them into there shakes, I guess they don't get sick off them otherwise I would assume they would stop.

Basically they say cook em because its fast to do so, doesn't hurt the egg and reduces the risk, some even say it breaks down the protein chains a bit making it easier to assimulate.

but then again if you do so it won't mix into a shake to well will it

I always cook them

Been making 10-12 raw egg shakes for months now, never had one problem.

If you can afford the extra expense, I would recommend the use of something like EGG BEATERS, which has been pasteurized to eliminate salmonella. That is of course, you still plan on eating your eggs raw.

You can buy pure 100% egg whites in a carton at most grocery stores and they are pasturized these are much better than egg beaters.

If you dont' cook your eggs you won't be getting the full protein content that's potentially available in them.

COOK YOUR EGGS.

on a side note....

I was watching Different Strokes last night, and Mr. Drummon was training Kimberly in the morning, he made the maid go and get her breakfeast , which was 1 whole egg.. she cracked it in a glass and Kimberly drank it.

Then...i went to sleep, i had a dream that i also downed an egg. It was too fucking real.

Peace

You can go to just about any super market and get some pasturized eggs. If they're pasturized you don't have to cook them. Other than that...I'd cook them just to be on the safe side. salmanela (I'm not sure if that's spelled right) is something you don't want to mess with. That will definately set back you plans.

Just a little FYI. Im a restaurant manager and have gone through many food safety classes. Its not a good idea to have raw egg product at all. Many cases of salmonella go undetected because they are slight. Some people may just get diareaha or cramps. They will blame it on something they "ate" and not know the real cause of the problem. Also you get the same protein value from cooked and uncooked eggs. Heat does not destroy the protein in eggs. Just my 2 cents.

I've heard that the best thing to when using raw eggs is to put them in the microwave until right before they start to turn white. The lenght of time may vary with your microwave but the heat will definatly kill off alot of the bacteria.

Not positive if it really works well but it sounds like a good idea.
