Stop Paying Chefs to Crack Shells

The Business Case for Liquid Eggs

If you run a cafe in Melbourne or a bakery in Geelong, you know the reality of the Saturday morning slam. The dockets are piling up, the coffee grinder is screaming, and the last thing you need is your prep chef stuck in the corner spending an hour cracking hundreds of eggs just to keep up with the scramble orders.

We love traditional eggs. We sell plenty of them. But for high-volume venues, relying solely on shell eggs is often an operational bottleneck you can’t afford. Here is why switching to liquid egg products is the efficiency hack your kitchen needs right now.


1 Time is Money (Literally)

Let’s look at the math. How long does it take to crack, check for shell fragments, and whisk 10 liters of whole egg? Now, multiply that time by your chef’s hourly rate.

It adds up.

Chef preparing food efficiently

With EggCo’s pasteurized liquid whole egg, you simply pour and cook. You aren't just buying eggs; you are buying back labor hours. That’s time your staff can spend on high-value tasks—plating, garnishing, or actually getting a break before service starts.

2 Baking is Chemistry, Not Guesswork

For our pastry and bakery clients, "approximate" doesn't cut it. A "large" shell egg can vary in weight, throwing off the moisture content in your sponges or macarons.

Consistency is King

Our liquid egg whites and yolks give you 100% consistency, every single batch.

  • Need 500g of pure yolk for a crème pâtissière? Pour it on the scale. Done.
  • Need consistent whites for meringues? No more separating by hand and risking a speck of yolk ruining the whip.

3 The HACCP Factor

Food safety is the invisible heavy lifter in your business. Raw shell eggs carry natural risks, and in a chaotic kitchen, cross-contamination from shells is a real worry.

Our liquid range is fully pasteurized. We handle the safety processing so you don't have to. It lowers your risk profile immediately, which is massive for catering companies and hotels serving large numbers of people. Plus, it makes your food safety documentation that much simpler.

4 Win the "Cool Room Tetris"

Space is expensive. Stacking fragile cardboard boxes of shell eggs takes up prime real estate in your fridge.

Organized commercial fridge storage

Our liquid products come in bottles or efficient "bag-in-box" formats. They are robust, stackable, and compact. You can fit more volume in less space, and you never have to worry about a crate getting knocked over during a delivery rush.

The Bottom Line

You don’t need to overhaul your entire menu to see a difference. Many of our customers use a hybrid approach: shell eggs for poached/fried options, and liquid eggs for scrambles, baking, and glazes.

EggCo is local to Victoria. We understand the B2B market because that’s all we do. If you want a reliable supply partner who understands that running out of product on a Friday is not an option, we’re here to help.
