Powdered Eggs

I bought an 8oz can of powdered eggs which equals 16 eggs.  For one egg take 2 tbsp. powdered eggs to 3 tbsp. water whisk and cook.  When I broke down the cost of powdered eggs compared to fresh her is what I found.  One fresh egg 22 cents, a powdered egg equivalent is 88 cents not on sale. 

If you do not open the can the eggs can last for a few years.  If you open the can and start using it you can keep the open can in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.  I have also heard you can keep an open can on a shelf in a dark cool none refrigerated area for 1 to 4 weeks max.  I kept this one open with the snap on lid in a dark non refrigerated shelf for over two weeks.

There not cheap at this small a quantity, but we will keep a can in the RV just in case we have a need.

Here is the can with one egg mixed up in a bowl.


Here I poured it and some bacon bits into a microwave one egg cooker and cooked it for one minute. Put it on an English Muffin and enjoyed it:)  Taste was fine:)
 

Here I have a microwave omelet cooker with some oil in it and a small bowl with the mix and water for 3 eggs not mixed up yet.

Here is the cooked omelet in its cooker with bacon bits and cheese.  Cooked for just over 1 minute.

Here is the omelet with some pan cooked potatoes it all tasted great:)
 
I have in the past bought powdered milk, pre-cooked bacon that is also shelf stable and of course instant potatoes and all were fine and I use them today as well.
 
Please note the cooking that was done here was at 6600 feet altitude can have an effect on how you cook with some things.
