By  Freezing, How To, This Vs That  0 Comments

Want to make your Egg Beaters last longer without losing taste or texture? Freezing them is the perfect solution. These liquid eggs, made mostly from egg whites, are a low-fat, low-calorie alternative to whole eggs and can last up to one year in the freezer when stored correctly.

Whether you’re meal prepping, reducing food waste, or just stocking up, this guide covers everything you need: freezing methods, thawing tips, recipe ideas, and the best brands to choose.

Why Egg Beaters Are a Healthier Choice

 

Egg Beaters are made with 99% egg whites plus beta-carotene for colour, and fortified vitamins and minerals. They’re pasteurised, so they’re safe for recipes that don’t require full cooking (like certain baked goods).

Compared to whole eggs, they’re:

  • Lower in fat and calories.egg beater

  • Cholesterol-free.

  • Consistent in texture and nutrition.

Can You Freeze Egg Beaters?

Yes, Egg Beaters can be frozen for up to 12 months if stored correctly. Freezing is ideal if:

  • You bought a large supply.

  • You want single-serving portions for easy cooking.

  • You want to reduce food waste.

Key tips before freezing:

  • Always leave space for liquid expansion.

  • Label the container with the date.

  • Don’t refreeze once thawed (quality drops).

How to Freeze Egg Beaters (Step-by-Step)

1. Freeze in Original Carton

If unopened, place the carton straight in the freezer. Most cartons leave enough headspace for safe expansion.

2. Use Freezer Bags (For Opened Cartons)

Pour leftover liquid eggs into a freezer-safe bag, remove excess air, and seal tightly. Label with the date.

3. Ice Cube Tray Method (For Single Servings)

  • Pour Egg Beaters into a clean ice cube tray (¾ full).Close-up of liquid eggs being poured into an ice cube tray in a bright kitchen.

  • Freeze until solid, transfer cubes into a freezer bag, remove air, and label.

  • Use as needed for recipes.

 

 

 

How to Thaw Egg Beaters Safely

  • Refrigerator (Preferred): Move the desired portion from freezer to fridge. Use within 24 hours.

  • Microwave (Quick): Use the defrost setting in 30-second intervals, stirring between bursts, until thawed.

  • Never refreeze once thawed.

  • Keep refrigerated and use within 7 days after thawing.

How to Use Frozen & Thawed Egg Beaters

Thawed Egg Beaters work just like fresh ones. Use them for:

  • Omelettes & Scrambled EggsFluffy omelette made with Egg Beaters, served with toast and greens on a white plate, bathed in natural window light.

  • French Toast & Quiche

  • Baked Goods (muffins, cakes)

  • Breakfast Sandwiches & Casseroles

Liquid Eggs vs Liquid Egg Whites – What’s the Difference?

  • Liquid Eggs (Egg Beaters): 99% egg whites with vitamins, minerals, and beta-carotene for colour and flavour.

  • Liquid Egg Whites: Pure egg whites, lower in calories and cholesterol, no added colour.

For health-conscious cooking, liquid egg whites have the edge, but Egg Beaters offer more flavour and convenience.

Best Liquid Egg Brands

Here are some top brands for quality and reliability:

  • Egg Beaters – Widely available, premium quality, minimal additives.

  • Eggland’s Best – 100% real eggs, no artificial flavours or preservatives.

  • Muscle Egg – Popular with athletes (high protein), though less suited for cooking and baking.

  • Store Brands – Affordable, but always check labels for preservatives.

1. Can you freeze raw eggs?

Yes. Crack, whisk whites and yolks together, then freeze for up to 1 year. Cooked egg dishes last 2–3 months frozen.

2. Are eggs safe if they freeze accidentally?

If the shell cracks, discard them. If uncracked, keep frozen and thaw in the fridge.

3. Can you drink liquid eggs?

Yes, if pasteurised and labelled as drinkable. Many brands market versions for bodybuilders.

4. Can liquid eggs replace whole eggs in recipes?

Yes. ¼ cup of liquid egg equals 1 whole egg in most dishes.
