FAQs

Are the yolks really that golden?
Yes—free range hens tend to produce richer yolks with great flavour.

Can I eat them soft-cooked?
Enjoy as you prefer; always follow the guidance on your pack and local food safety advice.

Why room-temperature for baking?
It helps batters emulsify and rise evenly.

How can I check freshness?
Gently place in water—fresh eggs sink, older ones stand or float.
