If you freeze and later melt egg whites would they still be suitable to whip
I read all the very useful answers to this question
Can raw eggs be frozen?
But my question is a bit different:
When making anything that needs whipped egg whites, the condition (cleanness/pusity) of utensile and the egg whites is essential. I wanted to know if I freeze egg whites would I be able to melt and whip them later?
Best Answer
Yes, quite well -- I have personally made successful angel food cakes with frozen whites -- but if volume matters, they will not quite reach the maximal height of fresh whites (say, loss of 5-10%), and achieving peaks will take a little longer whipping time than normal.

Quick Answer about "If you freeze and later melt egg whites would they still be suitable to whip"
Yes the egg whites can be whipped ahead of time, however the whipped egg whites need to be kept very cold and they will not hold well for much more than maybe an hour before they begin to weep and liquefy. I would not recommend whipping them too much in advance of when they will be used.What happens if egg whites freeze?
