YES!

Sarlye, they're great. In fact, I often add extra eggwhite to my omelets etc .. the protein holds the air bubbles, and creates even more volume. And it holds more air volume when room temp than when cold, as Sharon pointed out. So don't chill the beaters (unlike cream, which you want to keep cold, cold, cold .. because the fat globules will clump and turn to butter if it's warm). Eggwhites are all protein, no fat.

The cartons are such a great value too .... 2 cartons banded together costs the same as a dozen eggs ... each carton = 8 large eggwhites. You can even freeze the unopened carton too.
