When cooking, eggs can be prepared in many ways. They can be gently cracked into a bowl and whisked for omelets or scrambled eggs, or carefully placed into a pan for frying or poaching. For baking, they are often beaten with sugar to create volume or incorporated into batters to add richness and structure. The yolk and white can sometimes be separated for specific culinary techniques, like making meringues or custards. Their ability to emulsify and leaven makes them indispensable.
