Common Questions
Can I freeze leftover egg whites?
Yes! Freeze in ice cube trays (1 white per cube). Once frozen, transfer to freezer bag. Label with date. Use within 3 months. Thaw overnight in fridge.
Do egg whites need to be room temperature?
For whipping (meringues, angel food): YES! Room temp whites (20-25°C) whip to bigger volume. Separate eggs cold (easier), then let whites sit 30 min before using.
How to measure egg whites without a scale?
1 large egg white = 2 tablespoons. So 3 egg whites = 6 tablespoons or ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons (not exact ⅓ cup, slightly more).
