In the book I've been listening to, they mention Powdered Eggs so I just had a bit of a look online at what exactly they are. Turns out they're just dehydrated eggs and APPARENLTY they scramble up quite nicely but I'm dubious.
Anyone scrambled up some powdered eggs? I might Science this bitch up next time I go to the supermarket. How bad could they be? Surely not as bad as the ready to pour eggs you can get in those milk carton styles because I tried them once and they suuuuuucked.
They are ok for scrambled eggs, but fresh is definitely better. I use powdered egg in cooking a bit as it is much easier when you do a single serve and need a fraction of an egg.
I bought some in pandemic times just to have in the cupboard. I used them up in baking without any noticeable difference, but idk about scrambling them. They don't look like an egg when you reconstitute them.
When I was a kid there used to be an Egg Drive in schools for the hospitals. Kids would bring in a raw egg to donate, all the eggs would be sent somewhere where they were dehydrated for use in kitchen hospitals
Sounds awful. Also why? I see no need for them unless living in Antarctica. You can get eggs pretty much anywhere and fresh eggs last for at least a month. Useless processing to produce an inferior product? I would always use a real egg.
Best used in cake mixes instead of fresh eggs. I don't like them scrambled - lived through too many powdered egg scrambles at school back in the old days. Might be different doing them yourself.

Could be great for long distance hiking... living in the outback maybe... hotels and mass food production... commercial bakers...
