Frequently asked questions
- Can I use medium eggs instead of large eggs?
- Yes. For every large egg the recipe calls for, use 1.14 medium eggs. For 2 large eggs, use 2–3 medium eggs (the extra 0.3 egg rarely matters for most recipes).
- Does egg size matter in baking?
- For most baked goods, one size off is fine. For delicate recipes like soufflés or custards, weigh eggs by grams for precision.
