How to Convert Extra Large Eggs to Large Eggs

Extra large eggs weigh a little more than large eggs. Large eggs equal 2 liquid oz. each and extra large eggs equal 2.25 oz. each. To make the conversion, the eggs should be whipped to evenly blend the white and yolk of the egg together. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), store bought shell eggs can keep for three to five weeks in a refrigerator at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. To check your eggs for freshness, place the egg in water, if it sinks, it's fresh, if it floats it should be discarded.
