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

Eggs can be cooked in many ways. They can be fried until the whites are set and the yolks are runny or firm. They are often scrambled, whisked together with a little liquid and cooked gently. For baking, eggs act as a binder, leavening agent, and add richness. They can also be poached, boiled, or used to create emulsions like mayonnaise. The fresh, raw egg can be separated into yolk and white for specific applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Large eggs are a standard size, offering a consistent amount of yolk and white. Their flavor is generally mild and clean. Compared to smaller eggs, they provide more volume and richness in recipes. The color of the shell does not affect the taste or quality of the egg inside.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining eggs fresh, store them in their original carton in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept at a consistent cold temperature. Avoid storing them near strong-smelling foods, as they can absorb odors. They should be kept away from the refrigerator door to maintain a stable temperature.
