Our tips on the proper use of liquid egg
Eggs are a must in countless recipes, owing to their versatility and their nutritional value. Cocotine has a very wide range of innovative egg products designed for any chef, from institutional catering to fast food to fine dining. The most renowned establishments use eggs in their haute cuisine!
Deciding to utilise liquid egg in a professional kitchen is a strong choice for anyone looking to optimise their time whilst maintaining a level of quality that is beyond reproach. Read on to learn about Cocotine’s recommendations for making the most of these egg-based products.
Choosing the right liquid egg
Egg products offer many benefits to professional chefs. For example, they deliver consistent quality, enhanced food safety and substantial time savings. Our ready-to-use liquid egg eliminates the need to break and even separate eggs, as it comes in whole egg, egg white and egg yolk varieties. Available in bottles or cartons, fresh or frozen, it is easy to store and can be employed in a multitude of dishes. Whether you want to use egg yolk to make a velvety sauce or egg white to create a fluffy mousse, Cocotine necessarily has a solution that will meet your needs.
Thanks to Cocotine’s decision to phase cages out of our egg farming practices, many innovations from cage-free farms have naturally been included in the brand’s 220 products. You can trust our animal welfare cage-free, free-range and organic ranges to provide you with eggs that are in line with your values and your consumers’ expectations. And beginning in January 2025, all our fresh omelettes will be 100% cage-free.
Storing and handling liquid egg products
Because the consumption of eggs in shells engenders exposure to health risks, many chefs prefer to avail themselves of liquid egg products at their establishments. Still, special attention must be given to how fresh or frozen liquid egg is stored. Be sure to adhere to the refrigerator or freezer storage temperatures as well as the shelf life indicated on the packaging.
Egg products should also be handled with care: follow the instructions for thawing frozen products to the letter, check the shelf life and mix well before using in order to obtain an even texture. To avoid any cross-contamination, make sure your utensils are clean, and always comply with the usual hygiene rules to ensure you are meeting all food safety standards.
Incorporating liquid egg into your recipes
The inclusion of liquid egg in your recipes is a step that necessitates great accuracy. Thanks to its liquid form, you can measure it down to the gram, which is often the key to a successful pastry.
Aside from helping you maintain precise proportions in your sweet and savoury concoctions, liquid egg products allow you to prepare recipes of consistent quality and flavour. This regularity, which can be hard to achieve with shell eggs, becomes child’s play with liquid egg. Lastly, liquid egg also helps reduce waste, because you are only using the part of the egg that you need!
Opt for quality and simplicity in your day-to-day work by choosing Cocotine’s egg products, all of which are guaranteed to be made in France. Our brand is the perfect partner for the creation of delicious, original recipes that address your customers’ concerns.
