Food Storage Powdered Eggs Essential Benefits

I bought this last year at the Macey’s Food Storage/Emergency Preparedness sale. I thought I’d experiment with these eggs a couple of months ago and voila! They are great in baking. You can not taste a difference, in fact if you have eaten anything baked at my house since November you’ve eaten them! Don’t be scared by dehydrated eggs, if you currently have any mix in your pantry where you only need to add water then you are already using dehydrated eggs (also probably along with powdered milk…but that is another post)

ESSENTIAL BENEFITS OF POWDERED EGGS IN YOUR FOOD STORAGE

1. Never run out of eggs again! The cans come with an equivalent of 226 eggs (18 dozen) in them.
2. They are cheap-Maceys (Utah food store) will usually have these on sale once a year in their “Preparedness” sale. Last year they were 1/2 off (price then was $18.00) and only $9.00 which makes a “dozen” of these eggs only 48 cents. The price currently at Macey’s for these is $22.50 making a “dozen” of these eggs only $1.19…which is still MUCH cheaper than a dozen of real eggs.
3. Very EASY to use. The conversion is 1 T. egg powder to 2 T. water. (Remember that there are 16 T. in 1 C. to make multiple egg conversion easier) When baking you do not need to re-hydrate the eggs before adding to your mix, simply add the needed egg powder and needed water to your mix and proceed as your recipe outlines!
4. My other FAVORITE thing about them is that you can make a 1/2 egg with out the mess. Translation: halfing recipes calling for an odd number of eggs just got a whole lot easier!

    I opened up a my can of the morning moos eggs and have used them several times (mostly in prepared mixes) like cake mixes, cupcakes, brownies. I am using the water:egg ratio just as you described, but I notice that the baked things turn out more “crumbly” than when using fresh eggs. Have you noticed this at all? I know eggs are supposed to help glue things together, but the powdered eggs don’t seem to bind like the fresh. Do you have any suggestions besides mixing fresh with powdered? Or have you noticed this difference at all….or just me.

    Sorry for the late response…I’m on vacation. I haven’t noticed anything coming out more “crumbly” but you may want to try adding in an extra “powdered” egg to see if that helps. If that doesn’t work you may want to add in one fresh egg. It will still help stretch out the real eggs you use. Let me know how it turns out for you and if you have any questions.

    I had a question about the difference between the different brands. I don’t live in Utah so I went to the Honeyville website and ordered their powdered eggs. I do like it and use it in alot of recipes but it seems that 1 egg equals 2T of egg powder and 1/4 cup of water, so I guess im using it twice as fast as your brand, which also makes the price per egg higher. Do you know any other website that you can order them at your conversion.

    The conversion for powdered eggs is the same across brands…some just market it differently. the 1 T. dry egg powder is for for 1 medium egg and the 2 T. is for an extra large egg. Feel free to decrease the amount of dry egg powder you are using unless your recipe specifically calls for an extra large egg. I hope that helps!
