How people cook with it
Eggs are a fundamental ingredient for both sweet and savory cooking. They can be the star of a meal or a supporting player.
- Breakfast dishes
- Baking ingredients
- Sauce thickeners
- Binding agent
Eggs can be prepared in numerous ways. They can be scrambled, fried, poached, or boiled. In baking, they contribute to structure, leavening, and moisture. When emulsifying, like in mayonnaise or hollandaise, the lecithin in the yolk helps bind oil and water. They can also be used to create custards and meringues. For a simple meal, they are often cooked with other ingredients like vegetables or cheese.
How it differs from similar foods
Grade AA eggs are distinguished by their superior freshness and appearance compared to lower grades. The whites are thicker and hold their shape better, and the yolks are higher and rounder. This makes them ideal for dishes where the egg's appearance is important, such as fried or poached eggs.

Home cooks and professional chefs rely on eggs for a wide range of culinary applications.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store uncooked eggs in their original carton in the refrigerator. Keep them on a shelf, not in the door, where temperatures fluctuate more. Use them within the recommended timeframe for best quality.
