Non Food Use for Egg Yolks

Due to high cholesterol I am on a no egg yolk diet. Does anyone have a no-food use for the yolks? It hurts me to toss them down the sink!!

I'm sure my dog would love the egg yolks but are they good for him?

Do you have a dog? Dogs love the yolks, actually they love eggs, raw or cooked.

Why not use eggbeaters? Also, now the stores sell plain egg whites. Makes good egg dishes. Give it a try.

Use yolks for facials if you have dry skin.
See link: http://www.recipegoldmine.com/skin/skin41.html

You can freeze the yolks for someone else who does alot of baking, but note the following:

Egg yolks will thicken or gel when frozen and may become impossible to use in a recipe unless they receive special treatment. To retard this gelation, beat in either 1/8 teaspoon (1/2 mL) salt or 1 1/2 teaspoon (7 mL) sugar or corn syrup per 1/4 cup of egg yolks (50 mL, i.e. about 4 yolks).

Label with the number of yolks, the date and whether you added salt (for main dishes) or sugar (for desserts or baking). Substitute 1 tablespoon (15 mL) thawed yolk for 1 large fresh yolk.
