Hobar Posted November 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Can I get egg whites, dry (a spray rather than oil)? Do I need to order those from waiter, or can I order at a buffet? Are they available in the Orange dining venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REOVA Posted November 26, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I've had egg white omelets made in Lido but not sure if they had spray as they used oil for the pan but I would think they have spray of asked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted November 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2023 You can get egg white omelets in the lido and MDR. I have no idea about the oil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doone Posted November 26, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I get egg whites often on my cruises, once asked for spray vs. oil, it was a disaster on the pan, they stuck and burned, after that I just have them use the oil, the outcome is better not only for the pan but taste wise as well.....that's my thoughts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted November 26, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2023 We have a few different sprays in our pantry. They're all oil based. Only one is rated for high heat because most of the smoke points are too low. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Majesty requests "egg whites" at lido breakfast w/no problem..same for MDR breakfast.....I am clueless about a request for "spray vs oil". They aim to please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about the oil For my eggs in the Lido I requested they be cooked with butter, not oil. Watched as the cook wiped out the pan & used butter 🙂 so I think they would honor your request. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whogo Posted November 26, 2023 #11 Share Posted November 26, 2023 It seems incredibly wasteful to apply oil to a frying pan with an aerosol can. Consider poached egg whites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted November 26, 2023 #12 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Egg white frittata offered in both MDR and room service is very tasty, with small additions of vegetables and feta cheese. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider poached egg whites. How incredibly wasteful?? Wouldn’t the discarded egg yolks be more wasteful? Do you also fret at the wasted food that people leave behind? In any event, poached egg whites don’t sound appetizing to me but feel free to eat all you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted November 26, 2023 #15 Share Posted November 26, 2023 If I want eggs for breakfast on the ship, I only want egg whites; I get them at the omelet station in the Lido. They ladle the egg whites out, but must have a conversion method to know how to get the number of eggs you want. It varies with the ship, but on some ships you can also get toast and bacon at the same station. On others, I have had to go to other stations to get those with the eggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted November 26, 2023 #17 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I think they will do their very best to cater to your needs. I seem to recall cartons of egg whites at the omelette station. I think there is also cooking spay there, I'm not sure what the advantage is for that. It is after all just vegetable oil in an aerosol can. Omelettes are not cooked at high heat so that isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toofarfromthesea Posted November 26, 2023 #18 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Eggs are almost always cooked in nonstick pans. And spray is bad for nonstick pans. So they may be reluctant to use spray. Spray on nonstick pan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
