Pasteurized Liquid Egg Whites
What it is
This is a carton of liquid egg whites. They have been pasteurized for safety. This means they have been heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to kill harmful bacteria. The product is ready to use directly from the container. It is a convenient way to get egg whites without the hassle of separating them from the yolks. The liquid is clear and has a mild scent.
How people cook with it
Liquid egg whites are a versatile ingredient in many dishes. They can be used in both sweet and savory cooking.
- Baking cakes and meringues
- Making omelets and scrambles
- Adding to smoothies
- Whipping for toppings
You can pour this liquid directly into your recipes. For baking, it can be whipped to create volume and lightness. It blends smoothly into batters and doughs. The pasteurization process ensures it is safe to consume without further cooking, although it is typically cooked in most applications. Measure it out just as you would whole eggs, but only the white portion.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh eggs, this product is already separated, saving you a step. Pasteurization offers an added layer of food safety. The liquid form means no shell fragments can end up in your cooking. It also has a longer shelf life when refrigerated compared to fresh, whole eggs.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs often choose this for its convenience and safety.
How to keep the rest
Keep the unopened carton refrigerated. Once opened, store the remaining liquid egg whites in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. Use within the recommended timeframe after opening, typically a few days, to ensure freshness and safety.
