A couple of weeks ago we got together to celebrate my grandma's birthday. I volunteered to make an angel food cake, with the intent on using the egg whites I'd accumulated over the past 6 months (mainly when making
Pepperoni Pinwheels for a snack). So I started searching for a recipe that used a lot of egg whites. I ended up choosing one from
Serious Eats.
Except when I told my mom what I was going to use for egg whites, she asked if I had been freezing them. I said no, they'd been in the fridge. She informed me that they probably weren't good anymore. Meaning my efforts to not waste egg whites for once had failed. We found a solution though: boxed organic egg whites (more in the notes).
