Rod eggs , commercially available as Langei or eggroll , rare as eggs rod referred to are eggs that are cooked as a plurality in a tube, that the egg yolk is continuously and uniformly in the interior of protein surrounded. They are mainly used in the food industry and large catering establishments instead of hard-boiled eggs .

Manufacturing

To make it, eggs are opened in large numbers and separated, the yolks are pre-cooked in a long, greased tube about three centimeters in diameter, removed, poured with the egg white in a wider, round or oval tube, and everything is cooked to the end. In the alternative method, the egg white is first pre-cooked in a cylindrical hollow form with a central cylinder, and then cooked to the end with the egg yolk after the central cylinder has been removed. As additives they can be, for. B. still contain modified starch and acidulants . The rods up to 1 meter long are available from specialist wholesalers.

Bovoprod in Marcali , Hungary first cooks a stick of egg yolk, about 2.5–3 cm in diameter x 21 cm in length. This is inserted into a piece of white plastic film tube (sausage skin, artificial casing) that has already been closed on one side, then filled with egg white and drilled air-free and closed with a clamp using a hand lever machine. In transmitted light it is checked whether the yellow rod is not broken. If the subsequent “cooking” takes place with the rod rolling, it is conceivable that the curdling of the protein, which progresses from the outside, centers the yellow in the core. To open the packaged ice cream stick, the end caps should only be cut off incompletely in order to use the ends as pull tabs.

The term egg rolls is also used for pole eggs.

Several types, including spiced varieties, which are made only from the egg white, i.e. without the egg yolk, are recommended as supplementary foods for bodybuilders.

Benefits and uses

The advantage of stick eggs over simple, hard-boiled eggs in processing is, in addition to the labor saving, the uniform shape and size of the slices cut from them - they all correspond to the middle slice of a boiled egg, there are no smaller ends without yolks. They keep frozen for up to a year.

Pole eggs are used to decorate dishes, for rolls filled with eggs and some types of sausage and roasts that are filled with eggs.

It is discussed which energy expenditure is higher, that for the transport of eggs to central processing facilities or that for inefficient cooking at the end consumer. Cooks report the difficulty of reliably cooking a medium-sized amount of eggs in a well-dosed manner.
