By comparison, chicken eggs typically weigh a little over 2 ounces.<\/p>\n<h3>Do duck eggs look different than chicken eggs?<\/h3>\n<p>When you break a duck egg and a chicken egg side-by-side, you&#8217;ll immediately notice that you\u2019ve got about twice as much egg in the duck egg. Additionally, the yoke of a duck egg stands high and is deep orange. The white is quite clear. Once cooked, a fried duck egg looks like a very big fried chicken egg.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips For Using Duck Eggs<\/h2>\n<p>Duck eggs are great for baking, scrambling, boiling, frying and making omelets, French toast or anything else you would make with chicken eggs.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Duck eggs may need to be beaten a bit more vigorously before incorporating them in a recipe.<\/li>\n<li>It helps to let the eggs reach room temperature before you begin beating.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to make meringue, add a little baking soda before you begin beating for stiffer, lighter peaks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Do You Need Specific Duck Egg Recipes?<\/h2>\n<p>Generally speaking, duck eggs can be used just like chicken eggs. The main differences are that duck eggs are more nutritious and contain more protein. They also have a richer flavor. Because duck eggs are larger, generally speaking you can substitute one large duck egg for two small chicken eggs in any recipe.<\/p>\n<p>When frying or scrambling them or making an omelet, frittata or other recipe that is eggy, you may need fewer eggs per person.<\/p>\n<p>If a recipe calls for one chicken egg, you can try simply substituting a single duck egg. If this turns out to be too much, try just using the yolk next time.<\/p>\n<p>In recipes that require an exact amount of egg, you can measure or weigh the liquid amount before adding it to the recipe, but this is quite uncommon. Generally speaking a little bit too much or little bit too little egg doesn&#8217;t make a huge difference in any recipe.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting dish will be indistinguishable from those made with chicken eggs, aside from being a bit tastier.<\/p>\n<p>When you fry, scramble or boil duck eggs, you may want to use a slightly lower temperature because they have more protein than chicken eggs. If you cook them too fast and too hot, the whites may tend to get a little bit rubbery.<\/p>\n<p>If you like your fried egg to be completely cooked with no runny yoke, you may find it helpful to add a little bit of water to the pan after your duck egg begins to cook. Cover the pan with a lid to hold the heat in and cook it thoroughly. Remember that you should use low heat for duck eggs.<\/p>\n<h3>Chicken Egg Vs Duck Egg: A Comparison<\/h3>\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/xShfYuRPI9c\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Chicken Egg vs Duck Egg: A Comparison\" title=\"Play video &quot;Chicken Egg vs Duck Egg: A Comparison&quot;\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/xShfYuRPI9c<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/xShfYuRPI9c\" title=\"Chicken Egg vs Duck Egg: A Comparison\">Chicken Egg vs Duck Egg: A Comparison (https:\/\/youtu.be\/xShfYuRPI9c)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<h2>Are Duck Eggs Good For Baking?<\/h2>\n<p>Duck eggs are quite tasty, creamy and rich, and they are excellent for baking! They impart a richer flavor to all baked goods, and when making bread, they also impart a beautiful golden color.<\/p>\n<p>In baked dishes that call for whipped egg whites, you&#8217;ll find that the whites rise stiffer and higher than chicken eggs and make a lighter, fluffier more flavorful dish.<\/p>\n<p>One caveat, when you beat duck egg whites, it may take a little more effort to get them to froth. Be sure that your duck eggs are at room temperature, and you may wish to add a pinch of baking soda to help the process.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do You Know When Boiled Duck Eggs Are Finished?<\/h2>\n<p>The best way to boil duck eggs is to put them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil on high heat. When the water comes to a full, rolling boil, remove it from the burner and set it aside for about twelve minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the eggs from the hot water using a slotted spoon and crack the shells to stop the cooking process. Place them in an empty bowl and pour cold water over them.<\/p>\n<p>Allow them to cool completely and then peel them. You can keep these peeled duck eggs in a bowl cold water in your fridge for several days. Change the water daily to keep them as fresh as possible.<\/p>\n<h4>Resource:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.cornell.edu\/agnewscenter\/2014\/07\/15\/duck-eggs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Duck Eggs<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Duck eggs are larger, thicker shelled and more flavorful than chicken eggs.
