If your recipe calls for egg whites beaten stiff, beat the egg replacer powder with water until somewhat stiff (this won't work for heavily egg-white-based dishes like meringues, however. Believe me, I learned this the hard way when I tried making a meringue with this powder. Hint: It didn't turn out at all like a meringue.

Time Saving Tip: Rinsing the spoon off after using this replacer gets tedious really fast. I leave a ½ tablespoon spoon in my container at all times. See my post on Saving Time with Measuring Tools.

Card Tip: I recommend putting a little card with the measuring instructions on the outside of your Powdered Egg Replacer container so that it will always be handy when you need it.

Act Fast: You should always get whatever you are making into the oven or onto the stove as soon as possible after mixing in the egg replacer. It tends to lose its effectiveness the longer you wait (due to the leavening agents in it).

Tapioca Alternatives: You can substitute cornstarch or arrowroot for the tapioca starch with I think minimal difference. You could also sub out the potato starch, but it is a bit "heftier" than the other starches so I would use it if you can. You could also possibly use white flour for either, but then your egg replacer will not be gluten free.

Typically it's recommended to blend the water and egg substitute powder together prior to adding to a recipe, but I have done it both ways and it's worked for me.

paleo & AIP - Although some say that potatoes are paleo, you can use arrowroot or additional tapioca for the potato starch for AIP or paleo. Just note that the recipe might not work quite as well.
