How to measure egg yolks
Stir until smooth before measuring so the cup fills evenly; a liquid measuring cup or a kitchen scale works best. To swap egg sizes in a recipe, compare them by weight with the egg size tool.
Other charts may list a different weight for a cup of egg yolks: it depends on how the cup is filled and on the brand. The numbers on this page come from one measured USDA portion (1 cup = 243 g), the same data the LevelSpoon converter uses, so the page and the app always agree.
