Re: Egg White

[Teddygirl]

Hi Everyone,

This may sound stupid, but, I'm trying to increase my daily protein intake, and we all know that egg whites are a good source of protein. My question is this, can I prepare my egg whites before using them. In other words, can I crack and separate my eggs at home, then put egg whites into my plastic container, bring to work and microwave eggs hours later without the eggs loosing it potency, thanks.

Yes, you can if you can refrigerate the egg whites. The food safety rule is no more than 4 hours unrefrigerated time (it's cumulative). For hazardous foods like eggs, try to keep it below 2 hours.
