    I worked at a restaurant that received egg beaters frozen. I have even seen
    them at the store sold frozen or liquid.

    containers of liquid egg beater at once and just throw
    in em then freezer

    hence the question

    I'll bet you can freeze them. Maybe ask the manufacturer? Have you any
    interest in making your own?

    "Eggbeaters"

    Recipe By: posted to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller 9-5-2007
    Serving Size: 1

    1 egg white
    1 tsp. corn oil or safflower oil
    1 tsp. nonfat dry milk powder

    Combine ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until thoroughly
    blended. The ingredients may be blended in a blender but too much
    mixing makes the egg substitute frothy. Recipe may be multiplied by any
    amount desired. One recipe makes the equivalent of 1 egg (1/4 cup).

    Commercial egg substitute: 96 calories, 1 mg. cholesterol, 7 mg. fat,
    120 mg. sodium.

    Jeanne's substitute: 60 calories, negligible cholesterol, 5 mg. fat, 60
    mg. sodium.

    ----------
    Notes: Additional Note, 2/10/89: Price for one package of Egg Beaters
    at Cub Foods is $1.67 for the equivalent of 8 eggs. Whole eggs are
    approximately $.75 per dozen. A substantial saving to make from scratch.

    <snip and file>

    I'll buy them on sale and put what I don't immediately use into the deep
    freeze. I have never kept them in the freezer for really long periods of
    time though. Out of curiosity I checked eggbeaters.com and found this
    excerpt:

    "Can I freeze Egg Beaters?

    The product can be frozen if unopened. Once the product has been opened,
    it must be used within 7 days. Do not freeze part of an opened package.
    Also, once the product has been thawed, do not refreeze. Egg Beaters
    Original can be purchased both in frozen and refrigerated form."

    That assumes that it is OK to purchase, possess or use Egg Beaters.
    As far as egg whites, as psychologically hard as it is to waste food,
    some egg whites do go down the garbage disposal. You could make
    meringues.

    That's funny, I've never seen egg beaters at the store that weren't frozen.

    Really?

    The ones I buy are in the fridge section....in liquid
    form.

    What do you end up using them for? I really am curious. I feel kinda
    bad for wasting whites, but other than making meringues, I don't know
    what I'd use them for.

    You know, almost no competent physician pushes that Egg Beaters junk
    anymore.
    Eggs are your friend. Just don't fry them in hydrogenated oils, and
    do not slather an accompanying piece of toast with hydrogenated
    margarine. Maybe take it easy on the butterfat, and other mammal
    fats, but that low fat/avoid eggs because of dietary cholesterol stuff
    is pretty discredited.
    The one thing that everyone agrees with is that green veggies,
    especially leafy greens, are very good for you and me and everyone
    else.
    Life is too short to deprive yourselves off egg yolks, and the idea
    that egg yolks shorten life is moribund.

    I buy those packages that come with three plastic cups of Egg Beaters.
    Each cup equals two hole eggs in volume. If I know I am going to be home
    the next morning and have enough time to eat a leisurely breakfast, I
    will take one of those frozen egg beaters cups out and let it thaw in
    the fridge over night, then use it for scrambled eggs.

    I also sometimes bring them to work and use them for a quick lunch by
    cooking them in a microwaveable omelet cooker with a slice of cheese and
    eat it with a bagel from the bagel hut around the corner from my office.

    Eggs Beaters work great for those sorts of things and I am hard pressed
    to tell the difference between them and whole eggs when I cook them, so
    its a healthy item to eat.

    Ok...so can a person freeze whole eggs?

    I live remotely....so must stock up on frozen goods
