The Beyond Eggs can replace an egg in food like baked goods, dressing ore sauces. Beyond Eggs are healthier, cholesterol-free, allergy-free and the food safety is better.

Once the Mistystix touches the drink, it creates a smoking effect. The most beautiful effect is created when the drink is not too cold. With the Mistystix the taste of the drink is optimum, it keeps the drink cold and it remains smoking about 3 to 5 minutes. Use dry ice for the presentation of a dish or dry ice can also be used in the finest form to make a sorbet from fresh juices. Filling a wine cooler with water and dry ice gives a festive effect.
