WHERE ARE THEY!! Many of you have suggested trying the powdered egg whites in place of raw eggs. I have taken your advice on where to find them, but I JUST CAN"T FIND THEM!!! I end up circling and circling the store but just don't know what I'm looking for. I even went to a health food store and they sold something LIKE pwd egg whites but as with the case with the refridgerated whites, the packaging reads that it would not whip.

I tried a similar recipe with MP, but wasn't 100% satisified with the result so I really want to give this a try. I shop at Meijer, do you know what supermarket does carry this item?

There is a product called "just whites". It is in small round paperboard can and usually found with the baking supplies-sugar flour etc.

These are currently very expensive in my grocery, about $14! I have switched to meringue powder in bulk at the cake decorating stores.

I live in Maryland. I find "Just Whites" in the baking isle next to the powdered milk. They are about $5.00

I'vetriedthe Merigue Powder but thought maybe the result with the "egg whites"would be closer to using fresh egg whites. They must just not carry it here because I have lookedand looked and don't see it. Just being curious, does the package say anything about it NOT being recommended for whipping?
