    Egg Whites...

    I have been eating egg whites, mixed with a couple of whole eggs for breakfast as most of you do. I also get my kiddo off to school in the morning and it's taking me some time to crack open and separate a half dozen egg whites before I cook them. Maybe I should invest in a gadget to do this quicker.

    Can you take a weeks worth or even a few days worth of eggs, go ahead and separate the whites and keep the liquid whites fresh in the fridge covered until I need them? Another option would be to just scramble or boil up the eggs ahead of time and reheat. Thoughts?

    Just go to the grocery store and buy a carton of pasteurized egg-whites. It's a little more expensive, but SOOO much easier.

    And since they are pasteurized you can mix them in with protein shakes and stuff if you want to without cooking them.

    I have never seen anything to suggest otherwise; just put it in an airtight container.

    My method for doing egg white: I know that some people like to crack the egg and swish it back and forth to seperate. I like to just dump the whole egg into the containter and use the shell to scoop out the yolk. I could easily get 12 done in a couple of minutes, and i really dont think it is because i am talented, but rather i dont see how it could take any longer.

    the only thing you have to watch for is which side of the shell you will use to scoop because you wanna make sure there are no "hangin chads" of shell waiting to fall in your whites.

    Try using Eggology brand egg whites. They are fresh and already seperated- best part is that they are safe to drink raw.
