Egg Powder

[Bizmarty]

I have searched everywhere for Egg Powder/Dried Egg in the UK. I’ve seen some recipes on here that use it. Can anyone tell me where they get theirs from please?

Thanks

I've got absolutley no idea what this tastes like ( I'm guessing close to 'eggy' but not spot on )

Thanks very much, any difference in types or will any do? Just wondered about the protein ones?

 

[Gavmar]

I'd go for this onehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EGG-POWDER-POWDERED-EGG-HOME-COOKING-CATERING-/330431824511?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Uk_Crafts_Cake_Decorating_MJ&hash=item4cef45827fi'd say the protein ones would have lots of other additives. But i did just pull that out of my a@@ and have no idea.

I've got a kilo coming from myprotein.co.uk,I'll let you know what its like when it arrives.

 

[Bizmarty]

Oh cool, thanks, yeah, will be interesting to know eggsactly (sorry) ;-) what the protein ones are like for cooking. What you planing on making with yours?

 

[Bizmarty]

Come to think of it, I have no idea what cooking with egg powder will be like, is it really an egg substitute or just convenient to carry?

It's just spray dried whole egg,nothing added to it.I'll be doing mostly scrambled eggs and omelletes.

I used to get it in the baking department in my local Tesco but they stopped selling it a few months ago! They may still do it in other Tesco stores my mate lives in Swindon and they still stock it.

Scrambled nug and omelettes is what we used to use it for.

You can knock some together and add it to fried rice at home, if using up leftover boiled rice.

Well the whole egg powder arrived today.Have'nt had time to do much more than mix some with water into a runny batter constituency and chuck it in the frying pan,I'm well impressed with it.Tastes more like pancake than egg to be honest,I think with sliced salami or cheese etc it will be a good thing to carry on light weight overnighters or canoe trips.I cant see why it should'nt be a success used for scrambled egg either.

Yep me too, so I contacted the manufacturers, it used to be SuperCook, or something like that, but they were bought by Dr. Oetker – they have decided that there’s no retail market for whole dried egg – end of story!

Not surprising really, the majorit of folk who bought it would have been fan's long before Marks and Spencers developed the whole 'chill chain' concept in this country - negating the need for dried rationable goods. The camping/bushcraft community probably isn't enough to justify supermarkets getting it in.

Does anyone know how how to dry yer own egg, or a good way of transporting fresh eggs in to the woods? In my dads day they would have just looked for some wild eggs (pigeon or something similar) and that'd solve the problem. Definitely not the done thing now...

a good way of transporting fresh eggs in to the woods? ..

Nestle eggs in tupperware (actually lok n lok) tub of bannock mix

Try http://www.internationalegg.co.uk/ I've found the whole egg is good stuff if a little pricey.

my local weigh and save sell it loose at £1.80 per 100g and also my local Holland and Barrets health food shop sell it too

 

[Bizmarty]

Never heard of Weigh and Save before, don’t think there is one by me, there is a Holland and Barrets though, was it pure dried egg or the protein stuff? The protein stuff might be exactly the same for all I know!?
