Scrambelettes.  Actually a freeze dried egg product.  Should be banned by the FDA. At once.  Please.

When properly prepared these assume the look, weight, feel, color and I presume taste of an adult *** toy.

They burn quite well however. Tongue

Never take a new product in without testing it at home first.

This summer I went hiking in WY.  We brought mix for lemon puff cake, which sounded good in theory, but was absolutely disgusting.  We ended up taking it part way up the nearest mountain and dumped it well away from camp.  I joked that there'd be a circle of dead pikas around it in the morning.

I agree with freeze dried eggs.  I bought some last night, just to see if other evaluations were correct.  I cooked them this morning, eggs and bacon.  Styrofoam would have better flavor and chew the same.   Lips Sealed
Every once and awhile I buy something and bring it home to see what the consensus is.  This got a big thumbs down. 
We all love eggs, if someone has a good product let me know.

i don't know how people feel about egg beaters but there way better than any freeze dried or powdered egg.
i froze my cartons before the trip and kept froze in cooler until put-in.
  i put in zip lock bag and buried in pack for insulation.
  when they thawed out i emptied cartons into a naglene bottle and wrapped bottle with a cotton dish towel that i had soaked in water.
i kept out of sun, under the seat or between pack and bottom of canoe.
the evaporation kept the eggs good and with a little diced onion they made a nice omlette.
of course i go in late may for walleye opener and the water is still cold.
if you had a small soft-sided cooler and did the evaporation thing i think they would last a long time??
i've also read on the Canadian canoing web site about cracking the whole eggs gently into a quart naglene bottle and "pouring" off what you need.
haven't tried that but if you can keep them cool then the worst you would have is "scrambled" eggs.
hope this is of some help??

Powered eggs !!! The worst.
Have used a Nalgene bottle to carry fresh eggs many times.

I realize I'm in the minority with my opinion, but PROPERLY MADE, with powdered milk, and bacon, ham, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and any other omelet fixins you may like, powdered eggs make great omelets. Wink Wink

free tip: put all ingrediants, mixes, use slightly less water than called for, etc into a nalgene bottle and SHAKE WELL. All the 'bits' help to dissolve all of the powders. Just pour into a hot skillet on indirect heat. Wink Wink 8) 8) 8)

Is there a quality differance between freeze dried eggs and powdered eggs.  The ones I tried had good sized chunks of scrambled eggs.  Are powdered eggs precooked and then ground or raw and dried then ground?

Freeze dried eggs are the Devil's Spawn, meant to induce vomiting, while powdered eggs can be rehabilitated like OS says.

Powdered eggs are uncooked (until you do it to them.)

Thanks for the information, I will test the powdered on the family this weekend, if I can find some.

Did you mean if you could find some family, or find some powdered eggs. Grin Grin

TTC is correct. Never confuse the two. FD is NOT powdered.
I got mine from a restaurant supply company.
