Whole Egg Powder 1KG Long Lasting Scrambled Eggs Home Cooking *Egg Yoke & White

Fast delivery and well packaged. It arrived in a sturdy box, the powder was in a clear sealed plastic bag with a label attached inside another bag. I purchased this in June 2022 and my label had a Best Before Date of 13/10/23 (16 months). The country of origin states the Netherlands and the supplier address in London is also stated. Nutritional values are listed and the Ingredients states “Pasteurised Dried egg, Contains Egg, May Contain traces of Gluten, Soy, Milk. Instructions for Reconstitution are also given.The powder was a lovely uniform pastel yellow colour. It looked to be well refined and pure. As other reviews have mentioned, the powder does have a slight fish odour but because I was aware of those comments I was expecting that. Presumably the slight odour is a natural consequence of the pasteurised drying process. However, that slight odour disappears when the egg powder is reconstituted and cooked.My logic concerning the safety of using egg powder versus natural eggs is that egg powder has been produced for decades, and that process has been improved with modern technology and food science data, so providing a company processes the powder correctly under hygienic safe conditions, then a pasteurised egg powder should be as safe as fresh eggs, if not even safer, especially as fresh eggs can go off very quickly, whereas powder, providing that it has been processed and stored correctly, will last for well over a year at the absolute minimum according to this company’s label.We added 75g of water to 25g of powder (weighed to be exactly as per their instructions for the equivalent of 2 medium hen eggs) and whisked it up with a hand whisk to ensure it was light, aired and well mixed. Then we scrambled that to do a taste test (picture attached). We did it in a frying pan that was sprayed with light sunflower oil cooking spray. The result was one of the best scrambled eggs we have eaten. We throughly enjoyed it. The texture was perfect (not rubbery at all like some scrambled eggs can be). Personally, there was no way I would have been able to tell from look, taste, or texture, that the scrambled egg was made from powder.Now that we have confidence in the powder, and know that it tastes just like fresh eggs as far as we are concerned, we’ll use it without reservation in all our cooking and baking, as required. We’ll probably buy a 500g pack of egg Yolk powder online and some sachets of egg white (albumen) from our local store, with appreciating now how useful it is to have egg powder at hand. That way we’ll also have all types of baking recipes covered where egg yolks and whites need separating.I transferred the powder to Kilner jars (picture attached) for easier convenience and better long term storage. There is enough spare powder after doing those two jars from our 1kg bag to make some omelettes or a cooked breakfast or two.

The process of drying the eggs reduces the cholesterol, which is perfect for me. Sire you can't fry or poach them, but as a scramle replacement this is amazing. It comes out as a perfectly smooth batter for scrambled eggs, which means you can do all of the cool folding and gentle cook techniques that you see on YouTube with ease. If you want smooth omlettes cooked to whatever moist or dry level that you prefer, this is the stuff. Also great for adding to recipes as a cholesterol-light option.

Life saver when you run out of eggs for cooking or fancy scrambled for breakfast

Takes a little bit of trial and error but so far have made decent scrambled eggs and Yorkshire puddings. Good store cupboard ingredient if you don’t want to tussle for eggs during the supermarket COVID panic buy

Highly recommend this egg powder, good both for baking and for breakfast egg dishes. Great quality and taste and saves storage space compared with fresh eggs. Keeps well and simple to reconstitute with water. I was extremely dubious about powdered egg before trying this product but now a convert. This is the only brand I have bought and I am happy with its quality so no hesitation in recommending if you are unsure.

Firstly, like a few other reviews, this didn't come in packaging that looks like the photo. In fact, it doesn't even look like the powder in the photo, more of a light yellow, than the golden yellow you get in the pics.Anyway, I followed some of the advice given here in the questions section, and some reviews. 2 level tbl spoons of powder, to 4 tbl spoons of water for one large egg. And this, after some trial and error, seems to work.You really need to whisk the powder into the water, to avoid getting lumps, so use a good whisk.The smell of the powder is not particularly pleasant, with a faint whiff of fish - but that is probably from the drying process. After it's all mixed, and whisked up, the smell is more like eggs. Even when cooking scrambled eggs, it smells of eggs - although I will admit to a faint smell of something else, something more like sweaty socks, but this is only very faint, and doesn't translate into the finished scrambled eggs.So, the finished scrambled eggs look just like using actual eggs. But, they genuinely don't quite taste as good. You know you're not eating fresh eggs, you know it's powdered eggs.I can't comment on adding the powder to other food products, like cakes, or bread products you make at home.Overall, I will probably try other powdered egg products, just to compare how they match up. But, I will not stop buying real fresh eggs, because the real thing definitely tastes better. The powdered egg is good to keep in a sealed tub, where you don't have to worry about it going bad, or cracking a bad egg in a bowl. The shelf life is a long time, a good 6+ months.
