My recipe wants 5 extra large eggs; how many large eggs will be their equal?

Answer 1

I'd use 6 large if the recipe calls for 5 extra large. There's not a big difference so one extra should be all that is needed.

Answer 2

Hi !!!
Here you go...

Many recipes requiring eggs specify the use of large eggs, so if the eggs you have available are smaller or larger, it is beneficial to know the size equivalents. Use the following guidelines to achieve a quantity that should work well for most recipes.

5 medium eggs = 4 large eggs = 4 extra large eggs
6 medium eggs = 5 large eggs = 4 extra large eggs
7 medium eggs = 6 large eggs = 5 extra large eggs
For a more precise measure:

1 medium egg = 3 tablespoons
1 large egg = 3¼ tablespoons
Therefore:

13 medium eggs yields exactly the same quantity (39 tablespoons) as 12 large eggs.

Answer 3

I would still use 5 eggs, but if you don't think that's enough, don't use more than 6 or 7.

Answer 4

1 egg for every size difference is my rule of thumb & it works everytime. 5 xlg eggs = 6 lg eggs = 7 med eggs, etc.......It will turn out fine!!

Answer 5

Use the same, the size difference isn't that much.
