I tried Egg Beaters recently. They aren't half bad. As far as scrambled eggs go, I couldn't tell a difference between them and real eggs. When preparing the scrambled eggs, I used olive oil, and other times I used vegetable oil. In both cases, the scrambled eggs were pretty good.
Then I tried the store brand. I couldn't tell a difference between the store brand and the Egg Beaters brand except that they're colored a slightly different shade of yellow. Both were yummy. Bye bye bad fats and cholesterol!
I've not tried baking with Egg Beaters yet. If any of you have used them in recipes, please comment on your success or lack thereof. I'm not sure I want to invest my time and other ingredients until I know about a few easy baking recipes in which the Egg Beaters worked well.

Pennsylvania Dutch
According to the Book Crossing Over: One Woman's Exodus from Amish Life by Ruth Irene Garrett with Rick Farrant, there is no word in Pennsylvania Dutch for love. I'm referencing page 28 of that book. Crossing over is Ruth Irene Garrett's true story about leaving the Old Order Amish Community in Kalona, Iowa. She says (and I'm paraphrasing) that when the "English" concept of love is referred to by the Amish that they use the German word for it, "liebe."
