Cage-Free Jumbo Eggs
What it is
These are large chicken eggs produced by hens that are not confined to cages. They are raised in open housing systems where they have the freedom to roam, perch, and nest. The eggs are a standard size, larger than large eggs, and are a versatile staple for many kitchens.
How people cook with it
Eggs are a fundamental ingredient in baking and cooking. They can be prepared in many ways on their own or incorporated into larger dishes.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Fried for sandwiches
- Baked into cakes
- Used as a binder
You can cook these eggs in a variety of ways. For a simple breakfast, crack them into a hot, oiled pan and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are to your liking, whether sunny-side up, over easy, or scrambled. In baking, eggs provide structure, leavening, and richness to batters and doughs. They can also be whisked into sauces or custards to create smooth, creamy textures. Their ability to emulsify makes them invaluable in mayonnaise and dressings.
How it differs from similar foods
Jumbo eggs are larger than standard large eggs, meaning you might need fewer of them in recipes that call for a specific number. The cage-free designation indicates the hens' living conditions, which some consumers prefer for animal welfare reasons. The eggs themselves have a similar flavor and cooking behavior to other fresh chicken eggs.

Home cooks and professional chefs preparing a wide range of meals.
How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of these eggs fresh, store them in their original carton in the coldest part of your refrigerator, typically the main body and not the door. Ensure they are kept away from strong-smelling foods. Use them within a few weeks for the best quality.
