Sauder's Cage-Free Large Brown Eggs
What it is
These are large brown eggs from hens that are not confined to cages. The hens have the freedom to roam in open housing environments. This allows them to express natural behaviors like perching, nesting, and dust bathing. The eggs are collected and packaged for consumer use. They are a common staple in many kitchens.
How people cook with it
Eggs are incredibly versatile and can be prepared in countless ways. They are a fundamental ingredient in baking and cooking.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Fried for sandwiches
- Hard-boiled for snacks
- As a binder in recipes
Eggs can be cooked using various methods. They can be gently whisked and cooked in a non-stick pan for a soft scramble, or beaten vigorously and cooked until set. For frying, they can be cooked sunny-side up, over easy, or over hard. Hard-boiling involves submerging eggs in water and simmering them until the yolk and white are firm. They are also essential for creating custards, sauces, and baked goods, where their emulsifying and leavening properties are crucial.
How it differs from similar foods
Cage-free eggs differ from conventional eggs primarily in the living conditions of the hens.

How to keep the rest
