How people cook with it
Eggs are a fundamental ingredient used in countless ways, from simple preparations to complex baking.

Eggs can be cooked using various methods. They can be gently whisked and cooked in a pan to create fluffy scrambled eggs, or cracked into a hot, oiled skillet for frying. For baking, they are often beaten with sugar to incorporate air, contributing to the structure and richness of cakes and cookies. They can also be hard-boiled for easy meal prep or added to soups and stews. The yolk and white can be separated for specific culinary applications, such as making meringues or custards.

Their internal composition and cooking properties are generally the same as brown shell eggs. The difference is purely aesthetic and does not impact flavor or how they perform in recipes.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike rely on eggs for their binding, leavening, and enriching qualities.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store uncooked eggs in their original carton in the refrigerator. Keep them on a main shelf, not in the door, where temperatures fluctuate more. This helps prevent them from absorbing odors and keeps them at a consistent cool temperature, extending their usability for various cooking needs.
