Is it cheaper to buy liquid egg whites or separate them yourself?

The cost of liquid egg whites can vary depending on the brand and quantity purchased, but on average, a 16-ounce carton of liquid egg whites can cost anywhere from $1.50 to $2.00. In comparison, a dozen large eggs typically costs around $1.50 to $2.50, and each egg contains approximately 3 tablespoons of egg white.

To separate egg whites yourself, you can use one of several methods, such as cracking the egg and separating the white from the yolk using your hands or a kitchen utensil, or by using a kitchen gadget specifically designed for separating egg whites. While this process may take a bit more time than simply pouring liquid egg whites from a carton, it can save you money in the long run.

Additionally, separating egg whites yourself can give you more control over the quality and freshness of the egg whites you are using.
