I've been looking for powdered egg. When I checked on here Tesco seemed to be the favourite. Today I checked in Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsburys, The Co-op. No luck in any of them. Where do you guys get yours? Am I just unlucky?
Powdered egg

I think it's just a bit hit and miss.
Sometimes my local Tesco have it in some times they don't.
No logic to it.
Good Luck on the quest.

I get mine at one of the 'Easy Weigh' self service type places. Not in the self service bins but usually on the shelf pre-packed.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll keep looking. It may just be that all branches of Tesco etc. don't take it. Sometimes it depends on the manager.
I've checked tescos for the last year or so and only ever seen the powdered egg whites, and even then it's on a rare occasion they have them in. I've given up looking for them to be honest, I just break a few eggs into an airtight tupperware type container, the type with the rubber seal and the snap lock thingys. As long as it's kept cool enough it's ok. Would prefer powdered though for the warmer weather.
A kilo for £13 here (thats a whole lot of eggs)

That stuff is more for the protein shakes red. "It has a mild egg taste and odour and will mix with a shaker cup or blender.", I'd prefer something that tastes of eggs if thats possible from powdered stuff. I know the hospital kitchens use powdered egg and having been in hospital a few times recently can vouch for it's....well...egginess lol. Cheers for the link though red, I'll try it out in my shakes when I do the weights though.
The "Weigh & Save" stuff is okay for scamble etc. and perhaps a little firmer than the myprotein. I've used both for okay omlettes though. None are as good as a fresh duck egg mind you

Got a few duck eggs from the farm shop on campus last week.......yum! Good point to add though...duck eggs are tougher to break than hen eggs. Much thicker shell and membrane. A slight crack in transit wont see the egg leaking all over your bag
Somebody mentioned placing your whole eggs into a nalgene bottle that is topped up with water and the eggs do not break. That may be worth a go, the egg powder from Tesco isn't great to be honest and is only good for scrambled egg (tastes a bit weird though) and cooking such as bannocks and pancakes. Tesco may not be stocking them as I believe the great chicken fiasco that HFW kicked off last year had something to do with eggs IIRC. I believe Hellmans' are stopping the use of battery eggs in their mayonnaise and Tesco was stopping the sale of anything with battery eggs in it, which is exactly what the powdered egg would be made from. I still have a tub sat in the cupboard, it has a use by date (which it has passed) but it still tastes the same as it did when I bought it (ie. weird!) and doesn't seem to have been affected by passing the use by date. It is for use in extreme emergencies, so I reckon it'll stay there a little longer!
I don't want to do anything fancy with the powdered egg. Just put it in my pancake mix to save me carrying eggs. Bacon and fresh pancakes, yummy!!!!!
Have you tried making them yourself?
