Dehydrated Eggs
Today I decided to try the eggs I dehydrated a week or two ago. Once they came out of the dryer they looked a bit weird. Darkish yellow.
I put them in the blender and powdered them then put them in a baggie. I took the baggie and vaccum sealed it in a jar, then put it up in the cupboard.
Today I decided to try a taste test. I placed one teaspoon of powdered egg in a bowl and added two teaspoons of water to it. I let it sit for about 15 minutes.
It really didn't look all that appealing. There were still little "chunks" of dehydrated eggs in it.
Not to be put off, I put a little oil in a pan and poured the egg in and scrambled it. I was a bit leary to try it at first, but I did the taste test.
They came out GREAT! We have another winner! Now I just need to get some more eggs.
I will be keeping an eye on this first batch to see how long they will remain good.
SciFiChick - please please please share the steps on how you dehydrated the eggs! I can't wait to try it too!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked out for you too! I had a batch or 2 come out darker too,I'm not sure if it's a time or temperature issue.

How clever, they even LOOK like eggs in the final photo! I've begun preserving my fresh eggs by coating them with mineral oil. http://tinyurl.com/r7f797
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a brave woman out west lol!
ReplyDeleteKymbers- you got it! I will have it up in a day or so.
ReplyDeleteDean- thanks for the how-to! You were my inspiration for trying this.
Fel- Awwww thank you sweetie!
Preparedness- They really came out just like regular eggs. I don't have chickens or access to fresh eggs so I wanted to find a way to store them long term.
Ernie- You "crack" me up! :D
Just a random thought...if someone were on a cholesteral restricted diet,or had a recipe needing them,I don't see a problem to separate the white's from the yolk's. And if it's your taste,you could probably add pepper's and onion's to make an omellette.An easy french toast batter...Use your imagination!

Dean, I have read about seperating the eggs and doing them with the whites. I can't see a reason it wouldn't work. As for omelettes.. they will definately work. Anything you can used scrambled eggs in (omellettes etc.) will definatlly work!
