How to Thaw Frozen Egg Products

There are two acceptable ways to thaw frozen egg products. The first is to thaw frozen eggs under refrigeration. This method is preferred, but it requires planning ahead.

The second acceptable way to thaw frozen egg products is to place unopened containers under cold running water. Do not thaw containers under hot water. This could cook the eggs, destroying their functionality. Do not thaw containers at room temperature; the time it takes for the inner core to thaw exposes the outer area to potentially dangerous temperatures for too long.
