    Does anyone know of a substitute for eggs to use in cooking?

    It can't contain or be derived from egg.

    Thanks.

    It depends what you're making. Baked goods, applesauce works. Savory foods, Tofu. Sometimes silken tofu can be used in baked goods too. Look up some vegan cook books & they will give you a lot of ideas. Good luck!

    Thanks; I've used their SoyQuick before as a beverage replacement & liked it. I'll have to try this stuff. :D

    Mayonnaisse Makes a Great Substitute for Eggs When Baking

    Substitutions for eggs in baking (most listings are for one egg)

    Mayonnaise: Substitute 3 tablespoons mayonnaise for each egg called for in recipe.
    Flour: 1 egg = 2 tablespoons liquid + 2 tablespoons flour + ½ tablespoon shortening + ½ teaspoon baking powder.
    Egg substitute: Substitute 1/4 cup egg substitute plus one teaspoon of oil to prevent rubbery texture.
    Flaxseed: Use two tablespoons flaxmeal (ground flaxseed) plus 1/8 teaspoon baking powder plus 3 tablespoons water for each egg.
    Gelatin: Dissolve 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin in 1 tablespoon cold water, then add 2 tablespoons boiling water. Beat vigorously until frothy. Substitutes for one egg.
    Cornstarch: Substitute 1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 3 tablespoons water for each egg.
    Bananas: Substitute 1/2 of a mashed ripe banana plus 1/4 teaspoon baking powder for each egg.
    Tofu: Substitute 1/4 cup tofu for each egg.

    Doesn't most mayonnaise contain egg?

    Yes, though it was on their list. A lot of those 'substitutes' I was unaware of.

    Yolks, yes. If they are allergic to a protein in the whites only, yolks could be perfectly fine. Not that this particular caveat is present in the article, but it is theoretically possible.

    Both Kraft and Hellmans contain eggs and yolks, per their ingredient listings.

    The silken tofu recommendation is a good one; I've had it used convincingly to provide the creaminess for vegan Caesar salad dressing.

    I would think these might be more for the "oh no, I thought I had eggs but do not and my recipe calls for an egg...."

    Probably so. I had the title of the thread in mind when I initially replied about mayo being an ill-advised replacement for eggs.
