Recipes usually assume large eggs, so if you only have medium or extra-large ones, the totals can drift, especially in baking where egg volume matters. This calculator converts between egg sizes using the average liquid volume of each: a large egg is about 50 grams of egg out of shell, medium around 44 grams, small about 38 grams, and extra-large near 56 grams. Enter how many eggs of one size the recipe wants and pick the size you actually have, and it tells you how many of your eggs give the closest match, plus the total volume so you can fine tune by beating an egg and measuring. For a couple of eggs the difference is small, but for cakes and custards with several eggs it adds up. Everything is computed locally in your browser.
It converts a recipe between small, medium, large and extra large eggs by matching total liquid volume so the ratios stay correct.
Eggs add liquid and structure, so using a different size than the recipe assumes can change the moisture and rise of the bake.
When the volume works out to a partial egg, you can beat an egg and measure the needed portion to match the amount.
