What to do with egg whites?

[Callatya]

I have somewhere between 40 and 50 of the little devils in my freezer (frozen in batches of 5, 10 and 20) and I have no idea what to do with them.


I thought Meringue! But my oven is broken, and really, 50 eggwhites? there is only so much meringue a girl can take :lol:

I've had a few suggestions, like massive eggwhite omlettes (not a big omlette fan, and eggwhites are pretty tasteless IMO) topavlovas for all the friends and family (but that needs an oven, and i'm short an oven!)

I figured i could use a bit for clarifying stock, but yeah, i'm at a bit of a loss really.


BTW, the yolks have all gone into ice cream :) 5 yolks per litre. eek!

Lol - I used to be a member of a mother's site, apparently egg whites work wonders for conceiving if used as a lubricant!! (but I am guessing that wasn't the kind of usage you were referring to?)

Um... Pavalova?

Easter isnt far off - meringue nests, perhaps?

Thaw them and rub them on your face and let set until they are dry. It is a wonderful facial mask for getting rid of wrinkles! You only need one for this.

You will be amazed at the results.

That's what I was gonna say! Use them for a face mask to help tighten up pores. Also you could mix some with mayonaise for your hair. The eggs(for protien to help strengthen) and the mayo(for moisture,a conditioner of sorts).

I've just thought of something else you can do with egg whites:

When you want to decorate something - for example a cake to celebrate spring, take fresh flowers such as rose petals, rosemary sprigs, cranberries or any berries etc, mint leaves or any edible herb leaves. You paint them with egg white and then sprinkle them with fine caster sugar. They look really cool crystalised on the top of a cake and you will not have to reveal how easy they are!

You can use them as the glaze to candy nuts... you can insert any type of nut for the walnuts below.

Candied Walnuts

Ingredients:

Large egg white at room temperature
1 tsp. water
2 cups walnut halves
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 250-degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil. In a large bowl, whisk together egg white and water until stiff and foamy. Add walnuts and toss to coat. Pour nuts in a colander to drain for 3 minutes if necessary. Wipe out the bowl, add the sugar and spices. Mix well and add the walnuts and toss to coat.

Spread nuts in one layer on a baking sheet. Stir every 15 minutes for approximately 1 hour. Let cool and store in an airtight container.
