One serving of Egg Beaters is the equivalent to two egg whites, and contains 40 calories and 2 grams of fat.
The product known as Egg Beaters are primarily egg whites with added flavor, vitamins and thickeners. Egg beaters doesn't contain egg yolks. In the United States they are marketed as a healthy substitute for chicken eggs. The reason is that they contain no fat or cholesterol and also less energy than normal eggs.
If you are trying to avoid cholesterol, Egg Beaters or some other brand of egg substitute ( colored egg whites ) will work. If you just don't have any eggs, you can use mayonnaise. (2-3 Tbl/egg)
Egg Beaters was created in 1972.
If you're asking if you can whip egg white products like Egg Beaters, then the answer is yes, you can. I've done it myself more than once in the past. If you are asking how to beat them, the easiest way is to start with everything cold. Cold egg whites, put the whisk (or the beaters from a hand held mixer) and the bowl, everything that touches the eggs goes in the refrigerator to get them as cold as possible. That will make them much easier to beat to stiff peaks.
According to Betty Crocker, you can substitute (in most cases) 2 egg yolks for 1 egg. I use an egg substitute such as Egg Beaters insteat. If you are allergic to eggs, I wouldn't use them because they are made with 99% egg whites. The other 1% isn't mentioned. Good question for Wikianswers.
It would be according to the size of the eggs. I would guess that 6 large eggs would equal 1/2 cup. Actually, the Egg Beaters website says: 4 whole eggs = 1 cup Egg Beaters 1 whole egg = 1/4 cup Egg Beaters 1 egg white = 2 tbsp Egg Beaters So it sounds as if two eggs ought to do it. Happy baking!
There's no reason why not. Just make sure everything--bowl, beaters, and egg whites--are at room temperature. Some cooks place the bowl of egg whites over the pilot light of a gas stove briefly (a few minutes) to take off the chill from the refrigerator. Be careful when using this method. You don't want to cook the eggs, just bring them to room temperature before beating.
Well if you use just the egg whites and use light mayo (2 Table spoons) and mustered it will be about 3 points. :)
