What it is
These are fresh chicken eggs, graded as large size. They come from hens and are a common staple in kitchens. The eggs are sold in a carton to protect them during transport and storage.

How people cook with it
Eggs are a fundamental ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes. They can be cooked on their own or incorporated into larger recipes.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Baked into cakes
- Fried as a side dish
- Whipped into meringues
To use, gently crack the egg on a flat surface or the edge of a bowl. Separate the shell halves to release the contents. For most cooking applications, the yolk and white are combined. They can be whisked together for batters or custards, or cooked separately for specific preparations like meringues. The cooking time and method will vary greatly depending on the desired outcome, from a quick fry to a long bake.

How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining eggs refrigerated in their original carton. Storing them in the carton helps prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods and protects them from damage. Ensure they are kept cold to maintain freshness.
