How To Differentiate Egg Sizes
Most baking recipes call for large eggs. If your recipe needs three large eggs and you put in three jumbo eggs — it’s going to be a completely different recipe. When you think about eggs by weight (instead of by their size name), you can easily adjust how much to add to your recipe if you have a different size on hand.
Here’s about how much each type of egg typically weighs.
Jumbo Eggs: 2.5 oz per egg
Extra Large: 2.25 oz per egg
Large: 2 oz per egg
Medium: 1.75 oz per egg
