Why Egg Size Matters

Too Large Eggs:

  • • Too much liquid → soggy texture
  • • Cakes may sink in middle
  • • Cookies spread too much

Too Small Eggs:

  • • Dry, crumbly texture
  • • Poor rise in cakes
  • • Insufficient binding

Quick Tips

  • • Room temperature: US recipes often specify this; UK eggs need 30 min out of fridge
  • • Free-range variations: Can vary ±10% in size, always weigh for accuracy
  • • Freshness test: Fresh eggs sink in water, old eggs float
  • • Emergency measure: 1 large egg ≈ 3 tablespoons beaten egg

Common Questions

Can I freeze leftover egg whites?

Yes! Freeze in ice cube trays (1 white per cube). Once frozen, transfer to freezer bag. Label with date. Use within 3 months. Thaw overnight in fridge.

Do egg whites need to be room temperature?

For whipping (meringues, angel food): YES! Room temp whites (20-25°C) whip to bigger volume. Separate eggs cold (easier), then let whites sit 30 min before using.

How to measure egg whites without a scale?

1 large egg white = 2 tablespoons. So 3 egg whites = 6 tablespoons or ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons (not exact ⅓ cup, slightly more).
