You can buy them at leShop. Search for "blanc d'oeuf liquide".
That's what he's looking for.

Interesting, they also sell yolks (useful for mayonnaise, ice cream and sauces)

Re: Egg whites in Switzerland?

Yes, and also whole eggs the same way. I have not purchased them, so can't say if they are good or not. We don't eat a lot of eggs.

The problem with that is, I have them 5 days a week - early in the morning before going off to work - cracking shells and seperating them is a length process hence in USA/UK we can buy pure egg whites
Cracking eggs is a lengthy process? You've got to be kidding.
Seriously. The whole convenience food thing is getting out of control. Cracking and separating your eggs takes less than 30 seconds. Unless you are eating the whole dozen. You can also do it the night before.

Re: Egg whites in Switzerland?

The problem is not cracking and separating, it's the waste of the unused yolks. (or whites, if you only need the yolks).

Well, here is a solution (as I mentioned before actually) which should work as well for the whites as the yolks:

1. Take some time one day a week (or every couple of weeks) to separate eggs.

2. Follow instructions on this page.

Quote:
  1. Separate the eggs, one at a time, into a small bowl.
  2. Transfer the white of the egg to a section of the ice cube tray.
  3. Continue to do the eggs, one at a time, until you have the needed amount of yolks.
  4. Slide the ice cube tray into a large, zipper type freezer bag and seal shut.
  5. Place the tray into the freezer and freeze the egg whites until frozen. This can take several hours or overnight to achieve.
  6. Remove the frozen whites from the tray and repackage into smaller freezer bags. Label the bags, using a marker, with contents and the date.
There is explanation on the page as well regarding what is needed to freeze yolks or whole eggs as opposed to just the whites.

I imagine you can take what you need out of the freezer before bed each night to be ready (thawed or partially thawed) for what you need the next day.

That's not what our friend Holly said the problem was. For him it's time.

Re: Egg whites in Switzerland?

Why not just eat the whole egg? The yolk is very nutritous in fact much more nutritious than the whites. If it is because of the cholestrol thing that has recently been shown to be incorrect, they type found in yolks is not the type that contributes to heart disease.

I buy these from leshop regularly - I bake regularly, using more whites than yolks, and I find it very wasteful to bin a load of yolks when making meringue etc (or on the occasion I make custards, to bin a load of whites).

I suggest you use that income to pay the farmer's daughter to crack the eggs for you each morning upon delivery.
Our local farmer has a cracking daughter.
