Hi ,
I was interested in dehydrating eggs for my backpacking trips and by what I
have read on some sites is to never dry eggs, some say only dry scrambled
eggs and then put them in a blender to powder them. Today, I checked out a
book(dated 1976) from the library on food preserving and it tells how to
dehydrate raw eggs and then powder them in a blender. Has anyone tried
drying eggs and what has your outcome been.

Thanks,
Brian

I have dried eggs, by seperating the whites and yolks and drying them
seperately. It worked but wasn't all that great a product. Also the more that
I know about the safety of preserving foods I would be a bit hesitant to dry
eggs now. As I understand it you can buy a dried egg product that works well,
I haven't tried it but then I am too lazy to go backkpacking and eggs keep for
a loooong time in the refrigerater. :-)

My father told me that the powdered eggs that he had in the navy were in
effect dried scrambled eggs. I think you would have to find a way to
pausterize (sp?) them if you wanted to dry them. But I defer to anyone with
more experience in this art than I.

Go ahead and try it if you are determined, but I have to tell you that every
technique I have tried -- and there have been lots! -- has been a complete
waste of eggs!
