Egg beaters a pain to clean
 
I have cooked some egg beaters (at low temperature) twice in two
separate properly oiled metal pans and both times, the bottom became
coated with a residue from the egg beaters, drying right on the pan
surface as it was cooking.

It took quite a long time to get the stuff off.

So, those with more experience, do you use a non-stick pan with egg-
beaters or do you just not bother with them because they give the same
result no matter what?

I think that Egg Beaters is just egg whites with some oil and coloring
added. In any case, I would recommend that you use a non-stick pan. That
is about the only use I have for non-stick pans. You shouldn't have to use
much, if any, oil if you use a non-stick pan. I also helps to heat the pan,
add the oil and let it heat, then add the egg. I even do that in non-stick
cookware. That should totally eliminate sticking.

Try doing them in the microwave using olive oil spray as a non stick
device. For this I just use a glass pie plate and I do the same thing
when making egg salad from the beaters.
I also use the plastic pans for the microwave for prep omelets etc.

Eggs ain't at fault.
Serum tryglicerides are raised more by sugar and starches, not fat.

Go on the Atkins diet.

Why EggBeaters? I did a little casual research for an
cholesterol-challanged friend and found that simply buying eggs and
discarding the yolks was far cheaper (just noticed the price of eggs
has risen astronomically, so this may no longer be true.) *Her*
justification was separation anxiety, so I gave her an egg-separator
gadget. :-)

Can't help with residue question. My only use of egg whites is whipped
and folded into something. Do you get the same effect with regular ol'
egg-whites? The EggBeater site claims "no artificial flavors or
preservatives" but does add beta carotene for color and unspecified
"vitamins" usually supplied by the yolk.

Why not? I am testing various products at this point. I can usually
get either 80% cholesterol reduced eggs or egg whites only (I also do
eat regular eggs once or twice a week...always have), but that one
time, the store I went to only had egg beaters. I have discovered this
drawback to cooking them. I am asking whether others have had this
experience. Sheesh...between you and Katra, I get no end of kvetching.

And replaced it with another stupid myth. Atkins is the diet flavor of
the moment, in a couple years it'll be back to the core group of
fanatics. There's little or no evidence to back up their wild claims,
and in fact one of the early Atkins guys has come out and said people
have badly misinterpreted the original Atkins plan.

Balance, moderation and sense.

So I finally figured ...
'Egg beaters' here (NZ) are those hand machines for beating eggs.
Nowadays I use an even more 'low tech' fork or whisk. Easier to wash
afterwards.

I've given up trying to second guess what the researchers will say
about cholesterol and food. Once it was no eggs whatsoever, now a
couple a week are ok. And anyway, for women, the diet approach to
lowering cholsterol is not as useful. The body will insist on making
its own...:-)

BTW My non-stick pan instructions and cookbooks all recommend a light
coating of oil. And never using soap/detergent to clean them with
seems to help maintain the ease of cleaning with just hot water.

Dupont says that their non-stick coatings are dishwasher safe and I nearly
always put mine in the dishwasher. I agree that a very thin coating of oil
helps, but I don't like the non-stick sprays like PAM. The sprays seem to
cause a sticky film in the long run.

Why would use use Egg Beaters for making egg salad? You could
just remove the yolks and have a much better end-product. Egg
Beaters are simply egg whites with food coloring, at more than
twice the price.

Completely false - there is in fact a lot of evidence to back up the Atkins
diet, both its effectiveness and its safety. Also, if some people
misinterpret the diet - which is certainly true - that is not a reflection
on the diet, is it? The two main misrepresentations that I have seen are
that you can eat as much as you want of any food as long as it is low in
carbs, and that vegetables are minimized. Both are completely false.
Unfortunately there are some people who are anti-Atkins for psychological
reasons. Grow up!

Or religious reasons. Probably doesn't go over big among practicing
hindus or sikhs. I happen to not like meat very much. It's not moral
or psychological. It's a question of taste. I do however eat any type
of vegetable or fruit.

You could stop thinking that reasons not to eat meat are "fabricated"
rather than being as varied as the reasons for liking or not liking any
type of food.

What the study showed was that Atkins was about as effective as any
other diet, that is, not effective in the long run. Almost all study
participants returned to original weight within a year.

Some of the results for blood cholesterol were much better than
expected.


My opinion (and it's strictly that, an opinion) is that any eating plan
that severely resticts a class of food like carbs is doomed. Few people
will be able to adopt it for any substantive length. Note that I don't
need a bunch of testimonials of the, "yer nuts I'm on it 20 years now it
works great" variety.

Atkins is badly misinterpreted. Everyone I talk to who just knows what
the media tells them about it thinks it is "zero carb" or some such
nonsense. I can eat about 100 grams of carbs a day and be fine. That is
a third of what the USDA says, but still, it is hardly less than 20 a
day. I eat whole grain bread and tons of vegetables and I seem to do fine.

Besides, there is little or no evidence for many things about dieting.
Most of the diet "facts" are distorted and taken out of context -- even
Atkins. Low fat, low carb, whatever, they all have their zealots who
champion their cause.

Personally, I feel great on Atkins -- tons of energy, stable weight
loss, stable blood sugar (no spikes or highs), and I almost never get
sick. Clinical evidence be damned, I found what works for me. ****
everyone else :-)

That should be up to his doctor.

Good point. But I look at it this way -- I don't severely limit my
carbs, I just eat "better" carbs (whole grains and vegetables instead of
refined grains, fructose syrup, starch, and sugar), and less than the
USDA thinks I should eat.

I think, as you suggest, that will power is a big part of it. There are
quite a few people who cannot stick to a diet long term, or who cheat
all the time. They only cheat themselves.

My mother uses egg beaters and she just gave up. Now they are fried with
a little oil in the pan. But at least her cholesterol and triglycerides
have gone down somewhat since reducing eggs and saturated fats, so it's
worth the effort.

Your reply makes good sense. There is NO diet that a person can live on
for any length of time and do so without sacrificing important vitamins
and minerals plus enzymes etc.
A balanced diet it the diet for a long life. One can include a diet
with or without meat but a diet that forgoes carbohydrates for a long
period of time can cause problems with brain function. Obviously this
is true just read the responses of the Atkins Addicts. There cognitive
abilities are gone.

The Eggbeaters product is sterile and can be used for many applications
that a fresh egg can not be used. If one is restricting dietary intake
of cholesterol this is an easy way to do it by using the product.
They taste very good, afterall...an egg salad really is just the taste
of the condiments added to the egg product. Celery, onion or chives,
mayo and mustard and a topping of caviar makes it very good.

Oh I'm very low-tech - a squirt or dribble from the oil bottle is
what I mean by thin. :-) . They may also be dishwasher safe, but this
is about assisting them to stay non-stick And nothing easier to do
than a qick swish with hot water and brush after using them. Not
letting the food dry on the pan helps heaps.

I'm probably going to hate myself for asking this, but what do eggs have to do
with being diabetic?
There is less than one gram of carbohydrate in a large egg. And lots of
protein.
Why do you need to avoid eggs because of diabetes? I'm not diabetic so I have
no idea.

1. Low carb plans do not "forego" carbohydrates. Carbs are eaten from the very
beginning, even on the most restrictive of the popular plans, which would
probably be Atkins. After a short period, even more carbs are added to the
plan.

2. The brain requires carbohydrates to function, but if they are not available
from the diet, the body manufactures them. The small amount of glucose required
by the brain and blood cells can easily be met via glucogenesis from protein

3. Yes, my cognative abilities are definitely gone after losing 153 pounds on
Atkins over three years ago. Do YOU understand glucogenesis and catabolism?

4. And by the way, that should be "THEIR" cognitive abilities are gone. See the
irony here??

Ok, I'm sorry... ;-)

The recommendation made by most body building references recommend
tossing the yolks from 3 to 4 eggs. Add one egg yolk for flavor and
vitamins to every 3 to 4 eggwhites. :-)

I may be a low carb addict, but calories still count and cutting fat is
the easiest way to do so.

Not a fan of high carb, I follow the Greenwich diet.

Hence all the stir fry's. <G>

For eggs and related products, I use a well seasoned copper crepe pan if
I am cooking them by themselves. A small seasoned cast iron works well
too. While there is still some minor sticking, (seems to be an egg
thing), it cleans easily.

Prove it to yourself...
Do some blood testing.
Hope you can afford it, I get it for free as do my co-workers,
but it's not worth going there again. :-)

I cannot argue with that actually, but please do some research on
carbohydrate metabolism. And regular excercize.

I don't actually follow Atkins. Too low in fiber and I'm not a big fan
of fat. It's just nasty. :-P Greenwich is my road.

And that is the whole secret... :-)
What works for you?

I like Greenwhich better as it promotes more fiber.
This mornings veggies were lightly steamed baby carrots, (real ones, not
the milled) with sliced radishes and a few leaves of bok choy, all
steamed and served with lemon butter. And those roosters that I culled.

As long as I avoid starch and sugar, my lipid levels stay down. Fat does
not seem to enter into the equation.

Interesting?????

But, it works for me, and dad, and Al and..........

And most Allopaths know jack shidt about nutrition.
They don't teach it in medical school.

Ask them. I have. :-P

If I can help them to do the research to save their life, it's worth
the risk. Everyone has the personal responsibility to LEARN!!! The
internet is a good resource, but cross reference and cross reference
more!

Trouble is, it's not that easy to give up sugar and starch!!!

Sheesh! Sorry to have prevailed upon your patience. (Store had
EggBeaters but no eggs?) I didn't post in response to your original
query, and only when you mentioned some health problem thought to
suggest 'real' egg-whites as a thrifty alternative. Excuuuse me!
