Hey all does anyone know where I could find a chart or does anyone know what is an average amt. for 1 egg white using liquid egg whites? Like if I need 4 large egg whites how do I know how much to measure out of the container?

One other question, does anyone know howling these will last once opened in the fridge? My box says 2 days once opened, that seems so short. The guy that brought them though says they will last up to 20 days if well refrigerated after opening. Does anyone know? I have used eggs that were in my fridge before that were past their date but I don't have any idea about this.

Thanks,

Amy

One egg white (large egg) is roughly 30 grams.

it should say on the box.

I thought about useing the "just whites" but found out i can get a dozen eggs for less.. and while i dont want to waste food.. I don't want to waste my money either!

Hello, if you buy the 16 ounce carton, that is about 8 egg whites. If you need four, you may want to just measure out half.

If making IMBC, I just go ahead and use the whole carton, then one and a half pounds of butter.

I don't usually use it after a week. Make sure you don't touch the spout of the carton, and put it in the back of the fridge so it stays cold. I would think you could even freeze whatever you don't use, that might make it stay better.

Thanks everyone, I have to buy the egg whites in bulk of 5L, i is not available in our groceries here and it's not listed on the box anywhere.

I will use the 30g measurement, thanks Pink. I just checked them and its been like 2 weeks, so I think I will have to toss them. Next time I might try freezing them in premeasured batches so I don't end up wasting so much. I don't use fresh eggs here as my DH and I got salmonella once and that was enough! I used to eat cake batter and cookie dough all the time in the US, but not here anymore!!!

I just noticed on the carton I have (Break-Free Liquid Egg Whites, bought at Kroger) it says:

3 Tbsp= approx 1 large egg
1/3 cup= approx 2 large eggs
3/4 cup= approx 4 large eggs

Hope maybe that helps.

How much do you pay for 5L? The 16 ounce carton I bought was 1.67 on sale. I usually buy whatever is cheapest, and that is the cheapest I've ever seen a 16 ounce carton. I probably should've bought more!

cakemom, thanks that helps too! I live in Europe so everything is more expensive. The 5L costs me about 12 Euros which is about 16 dollars give or take with the exchange rate. I am sure if you bought in bulk it would be cheaper overall if you use it before it expires. The problem with mine is that I threw half of it away because it expires so quickly after opening.
