redmom3 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Trying to make a list of emergency stuff to have on hand and not sure I have ever even seen dried eggs. If they stores were empty would you just not do cakes, pancakes, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Because one option is never enough. :D http://www.pioneerthinking.com/eggsub.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillieBoy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Another option is actually preserving fresh eggs with this. Scroll down a page to get to Kepeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 they rarely make a survival list because you can easily survive w/o eggs. :D True! I've not eaten any meat, dairy or eggs in several weeks--and I'm more than just surviving! (I am losing weight, but that was part of the plan.).

secular_mom Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I have ener-g egg replacer in my pantry, for when I need to bake something but I'm out of eggs. Or for when I decide to try to be vegan. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmom3 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I would make a sorry survialist-I am just trying to prepare for a couple of weeks in case there was a run on the stores (storm, flu, etc) , or I just didn't want to get out after the baby. During which time I just know I would HAVE to have a chocolate cake:lol: Thanks ladies for the links! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in MD Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Backpackers will eat just about anything dried -- but dehydrated eggs. Ok, for long trips a few will carry heavily doctored dried eggs. For short trips they'll carry fresh eggs. But meals are frequently designed to avoid eggs. If you really want pure, dehydrated eggs for cooking with, check this product. http://www.rei.com/product/753943 Check the reviewers comments on how to prepare a better tasting product. Normally what you find are heavily doctored dried eggs (such as scrambles eggs with bacon, etc). ETA. I've never used this product.

Rosie_0801 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Deyhdrated eggs? Blergh! I've been experimenting with egg free baking and have had perfectly tasty cakes by substituting banana, apple sauce or linseed. Which works best with a particular recipe does take a bit of playing around with, but hey, experimentation is half the fun. Look for vegan cake recipes online, if you need to.

usetoschool Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Powdered eggs, even the ones from food storage companies are nasty and don't work very well, in my experience. We use soy flour. One Tbsp. of soy flour + 1 Tbsp. of water per egg. Easy to store (though there is fat in it so it can go rancid after quite a while) and has more than one use. Most of the time I use applesauce instead of water - makes the finished product a little moister. As an aside, we do store powdered goat milk and powdered buttermilk - both work well for baking. I almost like the powdered buttermilk better than the liquid. Baking is the one thing we can always do around here no matter how long it has been since I have been to the store :001_smile: and :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
