Eggs can be cooked in many ways. They can be fried, scrambled, poached, or boiled. For baking, they are often whisked with sugar to incorporate air, which helps leaven cakes and cookies. They can also be beaten and mixed with other ingredients to form batters or fillings. When cooking eggs, the temperature and cooking time will affect the final texture, from runny yolks to firm whites.
