Eggs can be cooked in many ways. They can be fried, scrambled, poached, or boiled. For baking, they are often beaten and incorporated into batters to provide structure and moisture. When making custards or sauces, they are gently heated to thicken the mixture. The yolks can be separated from the whites for specific culinary purposes, such as making mayonnaise or meringues. Their ability to emulsify also makes them useful in dressings and dips.
