How can I get frozen egg whites out of the ice tray?
I read in Can raw eggs be frozen? that you can freeze eeg whites and use them later.
I saw this suggestion about using an ice tray to make frozen egg white cubes (which makes it easier later on when you want to use a few eeg whites out of a frozen batch).
My problem is, the frozen cubes won't come out of the ice tray! They seem to expand or for some reason stick to the tray very hard. I needed to melt them by running the back of the tray under hot water to get them out.
Obviously I can't use any oil or anything like that in the tray to prevent sticking.
Any suggestions?

So to sum up, so far, we have:
- use a silicon tray, there should be no problems there.
- put the tray in warm water for a short while and they would let go.

InstructionsWhat happens when you freeze eggs in ice cube tray?
You cannot refreeze them once they have been defrosted. You can defrost your liquid eggs by setting them out in the refrigerator overnight or for several hours. You can also take them from the freezer and run them under water or place them in a bowl of warm water.How do you defrost egg white cartons?
First, briefly run the bottom of the ice tray under cool water. Temperature is important here; if it's too hot, or even a little warm, you'll have a tray of water instead of ice. Next, flip the tray over so it's right-side up, and twist the ends in opposite directions\u2014one side toward you and one side away from you.Freezing Eggs in Ice Cube Tray Experiment
