Now that Free Republic is up again - and that's a darn good thing - what size eggs should I buy?

[SamAdams76]

I don't know. Medium. Large. Extra Large. Jumbo?

What size eggs should I buy? I just boiled a dozen Extra Large Eggs and they were very good. Sometimes the large eggs get overcooked when I boil them.

Brown eggs or white eggs? I like both.

I like taking boiled eggs to work for lunch - to have with my sardines. But sometimes I like my eggs fried over easy. Eggs are good. Very good.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

I never put my eggs in one basket.

I use multiple baskets.

You know, you've just done a great public service here.

I eat eggs for breakfast 5-6 times a week but they're usually scrambled or over easy.

I forgot the other many ways to prepare eggs.

I like hard boiled eggs too!

And there's always deviled eggs, but they take a lot of time to prepare but I'm going to start getting more creative with eggs again.

Eggs are healthy too!

Thanks for the kindly reminder!

If you like finding double yolks in your eggs, then you want the extra large or jumbo. Otherwise, stick with the medium or large.

For recipes, you should stick with medium or large.

When I boil eggs, I heat the water slowly and use a thermometer. The egg yolk should set at around 190 F. I keep them at 190-195F for a few minutes to heat the egg entirely, then turn off the water. I’ve heard that putting baking soda in the water will keep the egg from sticking to the shell, but in practice, I find that aging the eggs is a much better option. When I was a kid, we would put the eggs (we had a commercial chicken ranch) in the fridge about 2 weeks before Easter, and they would peel beautifully after cooking (and coloring!).

I bought 72 eggs yesterday ($6).
Hope to pickle some....

Unless you are buying quail eggs it does not really matter. Steam your eggs instead of boiling them and they will never be overcooked.

A nice curry dipping sauce make them extra special.

I say, Lovey, never count your eggs before they're soufléed.

We have a local farmer that delivers to our house for $2.50/doz. Best eggs money can buy. The last affordable luxury.
