Question re Eggs

  • Hello,
    Does anyone know how to heat eggs to be used in egg-nog type drinks?
    Thanks...Peachy
  • How about sitting the egg in a pan of hot water - not boiling. Why do you need to heat the eggs? Is it to avoid raw eggs? If so, use the pasteurized liquid eggs (Egg Beaters?).
  • Hi
    I have a lot of eggs and I would like to use them for the whites...I want to make them safe by heating...I saw it done on one of the cooking shows but can't remember the who, what where of it. She heated the eggs briefly to kill salmonella...again I can't remember the details. For example, should I break the yolk into the whites, or separate first and cook together...how to keep the eggs from solidifying etc.
    Thanks...Peachy
  • Any ideas, Chickies? I moved this from the recipe section because it was getting lost in the Shakes Thread.
  • cluelss i just eat them raw!! instead use a protein powder that is safe, offers a whole bunch more options such as portability and loads more nutritions.

    just pick out one that is not soy as it will cause gas. try the whey i understand it is good. use the vanilla and you can add berries to it to improve the nutrient content with out adding much for calories.

    Check out this link. Eggs need to be heated to 160 to kill Salmonella. It can be 15-20 min. You need an instant read thermometer, etc. The link has examples .
  • Thanks, Banshee. I knew there would be an answer!


  • I educated myself too! I thought if you heated the egg enough to kill salmonella, then the egg would be ruined for the recipe!! The tricky part will be controlling the temp to 160. Good luck with the recipes!
