Egg weight, egg sizes
If you're asking how much does an egg weigh, or have a recipe with egg numbers instead of sizes, our handy guide will help you.
Eggs are now sold in four different sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Very Large (these replace the old sizes 0 to 7).
Egg weight and sizes
This table shows, for example, how large egg weight differs from medium egg weight.
New Size | Weight* | Old Size |
|---|---|---|
Very Large | 73g +over | Size 0 |
Large | 63 - 73g | Size 1 |
Medium | 53 - 63g | Size 3 |
Small | 53g + under | Size 5 |
*Each size band starts at the minimum weight and includes eggs up to, but not including, the maximum weight, for example a large egg can be 63g-72.99g.
The British Egg Information Service recommends using large eggs in recipes that specify the old size 3 egg, for example, scrambled eggs, pancake mixture, cakes, soufflés and meringues.
However, recipes often vary, so some trial and error may be required for certain dishes.
