Because my diet is all about raw food, I don't even have a cooking spray. But I just bought egg whites to get some protein. I don't know how to cook it or incorporate it into my diet. Can I just make an egg omelete without spraying the pan with a non stick cooking spray?
Thanks
If you have a very clean non-stick pan, you should be ok.
You might find that the whites stick if the pan has any wear at all. If you use a silicone spatula you should be able to stir it.
Another way to eat those egg whites is to make hard boiled eggs and just eat the whites.
Try putting some water on first and as soon as the bottom is set, move it. Try more scrambled eggs (no adding) Pour it on like an omlette and with the flipepr thing, just move it around before its set so ita all scraggy. Top on toast. Sprinkle on some herbs and spices too.
Red_herring I am not sure if I understand this correctly. Can I add it to any vegetables and microwave it?
a really awesome idea is to take the egg white and put them in a pastic zip lock bag and put that to float in a pot of boiling water and it will cook the eggs .. when they are done they pop right out of the bag and you have NO MESS! :D it works i promise... i love this idea. &nbs p; plus you can add anything you want to this omlette in a bag... veggies........meats..... haha endless
wow great idea. what kind of plastic bags? Thanks so much.
I will add broccoli and see what will happen I have a sandwich zipolac bag. is that ok?
yep brocolli sounds awesome! i will try that too but any kind of baggy .. just so that it doesnt touch the water. ... make sure to put the baggy in when the water is still cold so it gradually warms with the water and just let it cook till you think its all done and it all depends on how many eggs you cook too.... Good luck and message me if you need anymore help.. iam glad you liked the idea :D
omgggggg FREEEEEEEZER BAGS and you have to squeeze all the air out of them before sealing!!! VERY IMPORTANT.. otherwise there is a mess.. but i LOVE this idea too... just make sure they are freeeeezer bags!
Thanks so much Clarienicole. :)
If you let the pan get really hot before you drop the egg white into it, it won't stick. Adding an egg to a pan that's not up to temperature is why eggs often stick, even to non-stick pans. It's a similar story with pancakes but sometimes these can stick even in a very hot pan.
With a little practice you soon get the hang of what is hot enough. I hold my palm over (not on!) the pan to assess the heat coming off it before I drop an egg (or pancake batter) into it. if the egg starts to cook the very nanosecond it hits the pan, it won't stick.
I am crazy when it comes to egg whites! I use it everywhere; try it in your salads! I take one or two egg whites and put it in a class cup (drinking cup) and microwave it for exactly 1 min and 11 seconds. then i dump it on my salad and it looks cool cuz its round lol try it out!!! lol
get a cup and put clingfilm over the top, (let it sag in) then pour the egg white in , remove and twist to seal, then drop in boiling water. End result 1 boiled egg with no yolk inside . works a treat.
Chris PS you can add whatever you like before you seal it .
so I can just microwave in a cup????? that is so easy..
