How To Cook Delicious Powdered Eggs

The secret to cooking delicious scrambled eggs from powdered eggs is simply to either buy the Augason Farms Scrambled Eggs Mix and whisk it with warm water, or to make a mix yourself from Augason Farms Whole Powdered Eggs and equal parts of Augason Farms Morning Moos Powdered Milk and 1 tsp. of Wesson Vegetable Oil per serving should be added as you whisk together your homemade mix with warm water. I used a small whisk to beat it with enough warm water in a small bowl, to get the same consistency I would when making regular scrambled eggs and Half and Half. I used my microwave to cook them on high, once I mixed them with warm water as the #10 can directions states, 2 Tbsp. Scrambled Eggs Mix to 3 Tbsp. warm water mixed well to get one serving, then cook. I used Kroger canned butter spray and sprayed a Nordic Ware Scrambled Egg Pan, top lid and bottom interior area, and poured the mixture in the bottom part. Close the clear lid. Place in your microwave for 1 min. 15 seconds per serving. One serving turns out perfect for me every time. You want your eggs to turn out the same as when you cook real eggs. You can use a large mug that is butter sprayed if you don't have one of those pans to use. Amazon.com sells them, so does Kitchen Collection.com, and some Walmart stores carry them. You can use those pans for so many things to cook one serving of a lot of foods quickly in your microwave. I used Augason Farms Scrambled Eggs Mix in #10 cans which contains about 92 servings when mixed with warm water. I purchased Augason Farms Scrambled Egg Mix from Walmart.com because it costs less there, and Walmart gives you free shipping, than the Augason Farms website. I like that brand better than any I have tried yet. It needs no refrigeration. I never could get the other brand to turn out right. When I started to cook them in a skillet on my stovetop, the thought entered my mind from The Lord to use my microwave this time and see how they turn out. They were perfect and tasted delicious! I am so grateful and thankful to God for giving me creative ideas to help myself and others be able to cook meals at frugal prices. A person could live using the Scrambled Eggs Mix with homemade loaves of bread baked ahead of time, then sliced and wrapped individually, and stored in Hefty Freezer gallon bags and toasted as you need it, and applesauce for emergency meals for any kind of emergency situation.

All microwave ovens can require different times to cook so you might have to experiment to get your cooking time perfect. Your altitude has a lot to do with the cooking time as well. A real egg scrambled with Half and Half milk only takes 1 min. and 15 seconds to cook on high in my microwave to be perfect for me. If you overcook an egg in your microwave it will be rubbery and tough, so watch it carefully. It will raise up the lid while being microwaved, but it goes back down when it is done cooking. That's the reason why you need to use large mugs when you cook anything in a mug in your microwave that contains anything that will rise while cooking. Without enough room to rise, it can spill out of a smaller mug, and make a mess you will have to clean up afterwards.

You can also make an emergency stovetop using an empty #10 can that is clean and fill it with cotton balls. Then pour in 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, sold at Walmart and drugstores, just to cover the cotton balls, and very carefully light it using a long-handled Bic lighter. It is good to wear silicone gloves when dealing with any type fire. Carefully place a 10-inch round metal cake rack over the top and you have just made an emergency stovetop if you have no electrical power. Sets of 3 Hamilton Beach metal round cake racks can be purchased at Kitchen Collection.com in one each of 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch racks. You could also use a large can of Sterno Fuel set in the bottom of the can, if you prefer not to deal with cotton balls and Isopropyl Alcohol. You will need to use a small enough skillet or pan so the fire can get enough air to burn while your food is cooking. Make sure whatever the can is setting on will not get too hot on the bottom, and cause any damages to your countertop, or table it is sitting on when the fire is lit. I have purchased two rectangular marble slabs for my kitchen countertops to use for them to sit on when lit. I bought them at Kitchen Collection.com. They also sell a lot of nice small skillets, pots, and pans perfect for one serving. In any type emergency situation, you would need a small lidded pan to heat water for instant coffee, tea, or canned soup. If you buy a few extra shelf-stable supplies every time you go to the grocery store, your food pantry will be well stocked when you need it, not just in a time of emergency. Disabled people and senior citizens who live alone will very much appreciate having those extra supplies when they don't feel well enough to get out to a store.
