What to do with egg whites?

I made creme brulée today that required 8 egg yolks and now I have all the whites left to use.. anyone know what I can do with them instead of just frying or making omelettes? Or how long I can store them for? Thanks :cheegum:

GourmetSleuth - What to do with left over egg whites

Tips For Storing or Using Left Over Egg Whites

Store Individually - Drop one egg white in each section of a ice cube tray and freeze. Remove the egg white cubes and store in a freezer style zip-lock bag.

Store in Quantity - If you have large quantities of egg whites pour them into an airtight container and freeze. Make sure to measure the whites and mark the container appropriately. To use, remove the container from the freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Facial - Beat one egg white until it is frothy. Spread it all over your face. Allow the egg white to dry. You will feel your skin tighten as the egg white dries. Rinse it off. Your skin will have a nice tingly feeling. Do not try this if you are allergic to eggs.

**Tips for storing and using egg whites
**
Ensure containers are scrupulously clean.
Store in the refrigerator for 3–4 days in an airtight container, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Label the container with the number of egg whites inside.
Egg whites give more volume when they are several days old rather than fresh.
Egg whites from the freezer give an even denser foam.
When separating egg yolks from whites, use the sharp eggshell to ‘cut out’ any specks of yolk that may fall into the separated whites.
Folding egg whites into a mixture is a delicate operation. Too much heavy pressure and the egg whites deflate. Always beat in a spoonful or two of the whisked egg white, then fold in the rest with a metal spoon using exaggerated, airy movements.
When egg whites are whisked they must be used immediately, or the mixture will fall.
Do not over-whip the egg whites. They should form soft peaks that hold their shape.
