~ Eggs 101 ~

As we all know eggs come in various sizes but did you know ...

1 cup = 4 xlarge eggs = 6 xlarge whites = 12 xlarge yolks
1 cup = 5 large eggs = 7 large whites = 14 large yolks
1 cup = 5 medium eggs = 8 medium whites = 16 medium yolks

Of course each egg is unique so there is no exact percentage as to how much is white and how much is yolk.
Typically, one large egg is 1.75 ounces out of the shell. 1.15 ounces of white and the yolk is around .60. Medium eggs are precisely 1 ounce of white and .50 ounces of yolk. More on eggs at a later date. ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
