\"Food<\/a>I’ve never tried “liquid eggs” (industry term: breaker eggs), but I see them used quite a bit at charity breakfasts I attend. I do recall having powdered (dehydrated) eggs, which have been around for more than a hundred years.<\/p>\n

My experience was on Scout trips – the eggs were pretty awful. \u00a0So I set out to do my home experience, and picked up a pint carton of Food Club<\/a> (TopCo<\/a>) brand “Great Egg0-Spectations.” The carton promises “contains 99% real egg product. (See full ingredient list at the end of this post).<\/p>\n

I can see why they use these at the mass breakfasts, or in commercial bakeries and restaurants. Speed, little waste, consistent product. (As you know, “fresh” eggs can vary in taste and size).<\/p>\n

So these were a buck. The carton contains the equivalent of eight eggs. 3 T equal 1 egg. \u00a0A reason for buying them would not be value, certainly at any store in any given week, you can find at least one brand at around 50 cents a dozen. Of course, you can pay up to $6 a dozen from the same display case, and obviously, people must buy them or they wouldn’t be there, but I sure don’t get the idea of $6 eggs.<\/p>\n

I assumed I could use the product as I would fresh eggs, so I set out to make scrambled eggs, adding a dollop of milk to my mix, cooking them in a non-stick skilled at medium heat. They turned out just fine. Tasted like…………….spoiler alert……………scrambled eggs!<\/p>\n

Food Club brand is part of Topco, which is based in suburban Chicago, and started as a co-op of producers in the 1940s. They sell thousands of different products (frozen, refrigerated and dry) \u00a0under their own brand names, to a wide variety of retailers. They also produce their products in three different value segments, from a economy type product to an added value kind.<\/p>\n

My conclusion is that liquid eggs\u00a0are tasty and convenient. Would I buy them again? Nah, like I said above, I really don’t “get it” for home use. Plus the carton instructs you to use in a week, and most people keep fresh eggs around for weeks without a care. If you’re really concerned with product longevity, powdered eggs can last 5-10 years, depending on the brand and storage method.<\/p>\n

Do you use liquid eggs at home? How do you use them? Do you have a preferred brand?<\/p>\n
