Pasteurized Liquid Egg Whites
What it is
This product is a convenient way to use egg whites without the hassle of separating them from the yolks. The egg whites are pasteurized, meaning they have been heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to kill harmful bacteria. This makes them safe to consume without cooking, although they are commonly used in cooked dishes. The liquid form makes them easy to measure and incorporate into recipes.
How people cook with it
Liquid egg whites are a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory cooking.
- Baking meringues and angel food cake
- Making omelets and scrambles
- Whipping into foams for cocktails
When using liquid egg whites in baking, they can often be substituted directly for fresh egg whites. For recipes that call for whipped egg whites, such as meringues, you will typically whip them until stiff peaks form. For drinks, they can be shaken with other ingredients to create a frothy texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh egg whites, this product is already separated and pasteurized. This means it is ready to use straight from the container and is safe to consume raw. Fresh egg whites require careful handling to avoid contamination and must be cooked thoroughly.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs often choose this product for its convenience and safety.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining liquid egg whites in their original container in the refrigerator. It is best to use them within a few days of opening to ensure freshness and safety. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent spoilage.
