I have tried using the liquid egg whites for swiss meringue buttercream in the past, but I couldnt get them to whip up. I thought I remembered someone saying they used frozen liquid egg whites from Gordon Foods. I saw them today and couldnt resist buying a carton (It's like a half gallon!) Wondered if anyone used this and if it worked? Also it says after you thaw it, it should be used within 3 days. Wondering if you can refreeze the egg whites in smaller containers? [/u]

Please....I would love to know these answers also!!!

Yes, they do work. I was skeptical the first time I used the frozen egg whites (defrosted, of course :>) and now use them whenever making big batches of SMBC. I wouldn't re-freeze the whites, but never experimented with that. Hope this helps!

I don,t get mine frozen, but i have changed to pasteurized liquid whites. I get store brand and brand names. whatever. I love them. They never have failed me.

I've not used the frozen ones, but I have used the liquid egg whites from Sam's club. They worked great for me.
As for refreezing.......ummm I wouldn't. I'd just make more SMBC and freeze that! Kinda of like I did when I was given 20 coupons for 8oz of cream cheese. Didn't know if you could freeze cream cheese, but I did know you could freeze cheesecakes!

thank you! I'll give them a shot! I hate separating eggs and throwing away the yolk. Not sure if it is economical or not though.

oh and cream cheese doent freeze that well. The texture is off, kind of grainy. Might be fine for cheesecakes or as an ingredient, but not very good by itself

I didn't know egg whites could be frozen. So, they sell them frozen already or you freeze them yourself?
Thanks everyone!!

it was already frozen in a carton. However, I often do by the egg beaters or whatever (for scrambled eggs) and just put the whole thing in the freezer.

I am pretty sure you can freeze cracked egg whites/yolks, but you have to add salt or sugar I think. I am not sure how to do it, but I have read up on it in the past.
