I do generally use Ener-G egg replacer, but I did want to point out that
most liquid egg subs (like Egg Beaters) are pasteurized so that
salmonella is no longer an issue.
So, while people who eat eggs can save money by just buying regular eggs
and tossing the yolks, for a raw egg situation (like the caesar salad
dressing or egg nog), the pasteurized product is probably a good idea.
