Some technical recipe books I've used just specify the weight of total egg. Not that useful for a home cook though.
For that matter, I'm curious what egg size descriptions is like in other countries; in Australian shops they're like condom sizes - I haven't seen 'small' or 'medium' eggs for over a decade.
- BBlarat 9y agoWell it depends on what you're cooking, if you make an omelette it's not a big deal if you have too much egg, but if you make say a chocolate fondant than the size of the egg is very important to get the correct texture.
- roryisok 9y agoWe have small / medium / large here in Ireland. I'd bet they're the same size as your xl / xxl / magnum eggs though
- egeozcan 9y agoIn Germany, they are "S", "M", "L", "XL"; although I've seen "S" only once, ever.
- germanier 9y agoSize S is usually sold to be processed and not to end-consumers. If you really want to buy them you probably have most luck in organic food supermarkets (unless you need a few europallets of them).
