Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a large egg weigh?
A USDA large egg weighs 50 grams (1.76 oz) in shell. Without shell, the edible portion weighs about 44g. The white weighs ~33g and the yolk ~17g.
How many eggs make 1 cup?
Approximately 4-5 large eggs (beaten) make 1 cup (240ml). More precisely, one large egg yields about 3.25 tablespoons of liquid, so 4.6 eggs per cup.
How do I substitute medium eggs for large eggs?
Use 1.14 medium eggs per large egg. For 3 large eggs in a recipe, use about 3.5 medium eggs (round to 4). By weight: 3 large eggs = 150g, so use enough medium eggs (44g each) to reach 150g = 3.4 medium eggs.
