90 Eggs Is Like A Full Case Of Eggs Too - Tumblr Posts

Butterscotch Cinnamon pie story time!

While working as an intern, I decided I wanted to make butterscotch cinnamon pie at the place I was working.

The base recipe calls for 9 egg yolks.

I had to scale up that recipe by 10.

So, I had to separate 90 pasteurized eggs by hand for the pies- because the place was a retirement community and they could only have pasteurized eggs. The chef I was working under warned me that by the end of my time there I would hate those eggs, and she was right. The pasteurization process makes the shells more brittle- so you’re more likely to get shells in your eggs- and it weakens the membranes on the yolks so the yolks are more likely to break when separating.
