Cook's Note: You can choose to use 3 fresh whole eggs in place of the
egg substititue. However, there is an ever-growing concern about the
threat of salmonella, bacteria that contaminate eggs and poultry.
There is no way of knowing the degree of risk when eating raw or
lightly cooked eggs. It has been recommend that immuno-compromised
patients, the very young and the elderly, all of whom are the most
severely affected when stricken, should not eat raw or lightly cooked
eggs. Those who are consuming eggs that have not been cooked to 165*F
(75*C)are doing so at their own risk.
