Liquid eggs for the lazy

Whenever I get a good idea, which isn't often I have to say; I usually find that after a good think through of all the stumbling blocks, there is at least the last one which suggests - it'll never catch on.

 

Well this probably will catch on. But in all honesty, it really shouldn't. I mean, how little an effort is it to crack an egg, and what an already superb container the shell is for the contents..? I want the shells for my compost heap too. Bet the plastic cartons don't get properly recycled either. Annoyingly bad idea.

I looked into this in the early nineties after seeing a product in the states called "better than eggs". Quick and easy for omelettes, scrambled eggs and for other cooking.

 

Importing was out of the question, due to shelf life so it was a case of having to have it made here. The supermarkets weren't interested, so I canned the idea.

 

Suppose I was ahead of the game.

Liquid eggs have been used in catering for many many years, for their convenience.

 

How do you think McDonald's 'eggs' are made?

Yet, ironically if you had 'canned' the idea, shelf life wouldn't have been such a big issue ;)

I have this great idea of putting milk it cardboard containers which you can store easily and access in an instant from your fridge. Just for the convenience of the people too lazy to milk their cow each each morning. I can't see it catching on though.

Yes in catering I can see the neccessity. But for the domestic market..?

 

Do you know, I've never had a MacDonald's Egg Mcwhatever they call them..? I wouldn't knowingly step within 100 yards of one of their establishments, so it looks like that isn't going to change.

mcdonalds are real free range eggs according to the blurb. they certainly have identifiable yokes which liquid eggs won't have.

Yes, milk is perfectly suited to this. Call me a traditionalist in certain things, but I reckon odd bits of progress almost don't need to be made. It's like the development of the plastic clothes peg, when the superior product was already there in the wooden one.

 

By the way, how would one get a perfectly poached, fried or boiled egg with the yoke in the centre from the liquid..?
