My reasons while boiled eggs blow...
1) Cooking them takes like 20 minutes total. I try to do them at night, but every once in a while I can't, and its a hassle to cook them in the morning.
2) Peeling them just sucks. Even though with baking soda it makes it a little easier, I still have a small ass sink in my apartment and everything is just messy as shit.
3) Taking out the yolks is messy, plus the compactor in the kitchen sink doesnt work for shit. Basically, I either put them down the sink, and they smell up the apartment, or I walk outside, down the stairs, and throw them in the bushes. Neither is convenient.
Ok so possible solutions...
1) Drinking raw eggs and whites. I'm not really worried about salmonella. Chances are like 1 in 30,000 I think I've read. Plus I've had salmonella before. Having the shits and throwing up a little bit is something I can deal with once every 10 years with this kind of convenience. BUT... I also read that the human body can't digest near as much protein from a raw egg compared to that of a cooked egg. This is the real drawback for me... So much for option #1.
2) Bulk egg whites, such as lana's egg whites. Downsides are high prices compared to eggs, and shipping would be a bitch. But definately an option I'm still considering.
3) Liquid pasturized egg whites from the store, or maybe even that Eggology stuff that Ronnie uses. Would I be able to drink this stuff raw? Or would they still have the low absorbtion properties of raw eggs??
Opinions anyone? I know egg protein is the purest form, and I won't give it up, but I'm willing to sacrafice a little money to find something more convenient. Just figured I'd do some research first...
