What it is
These are large chicken eggs, a common staple in many kitchens. They come in a convenient 36-ounce carton, providing a generous supply for various culinary needs.

How people cook with it
Eggs are a cornerstone ingredient for both sweet and savory cooking. They can be prepared in numerous ways or incorporated into other recipes.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Baked into cakes
- Fried for sandwiches
- Used as a binder
Eggs can be enjoyed on their own, prepared through methods like frying, scrambling, poaching, or boiling. Beyond direct consumption, they are crucial in baking, where they contribute to structure and moisture in cakes, cookies, and breads. In savory dishes, they can be whisked into sauces for thickening, used to coat foods before frying, or incorporated into casseroles and quiches. Their ability to emulsify also makes them vital for mayonnaise and hollandaise.
How it differs from similar foods
Large eggs are a standard size, offering a consistent amount of yolk and white. They differ from extra-large or jumbo eggs primarily in their weight and volume. This size is generally suitable for most recipes that call for eggs without requiring specific adjustments.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike rely on large eggs for everyday meal preparation and baking projects.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining eggs in their original carton in the refrigerator. Keep them on a shelf rather than the door to ensure a consistent, cold temperature. This helps preserve their quality for several weeks.
