Cold Eggs vs Room Temp - Does It Really Matter When Baking?

- Often in baking recipes, we are told to use "room temperature" eggs. Up until this point, I've never bothered. Does it really make a difference, either in terms of texture or taste? That's what I'm going to find out in this video.
Also, I realize that the eggs shown in the thumbnail are not the ones I used in this video. I just liked that the colors made for a good "cold vs room temp" look.

Here's an article on why eggs are refrigerated (at least commercial eggs here in The States):
www.healthline.com/nutrition/should-you-refrigerate-eggs#united-states
What this article doesn't discuss is that if you have freshly laid eggs (like from your own hens), there is a protective coating called "the bloom" that seals all the little pores in the egg shell. This is washed off in the commercial egg process. So if you have hens, there's really no reason why you need to refrigerate them.
Yes, after struggling with getting my eggs room temp soon enough that I still felt like baking, I started buying unwashed eggs from the farmer's market. Helps with having more room in the fridge too!
@@bluedove7876 I so wish that I could have my own hen house. I may have to start hitting the farmer's market too.
Interesting! I live in Oregon and we hardly ever put our eggs in the fridge with the exception of high temp summers. We have a number of farms with fresh eggs for sale, though.
Oh, please, don't hit the edge of a glass container with metal or other hard item. I think of the tiny glass shards that can chip off and be ingested with the food. 😳😬
I just recently watched something about the difference between UK eggs and US eggs. Two different ways to prevent salmonella which are both fairly effective but IMO, I would love to have the benefit of room temp eggs like they have in the UK.
For years whenever I have needed a room temperature egg, I put the egg(s) in a vessel of warm water for a few minutes. That brings the egg up to room temp pretty quickly and you don’t have to wait a half an hour or more. Glad to see a video on this. The difference is extraordinary especially in cakes where the volume and density are truly measurable.
I do the same thing,but I didn’t know that the room temp eye would be better for a Chaffle.
I do the same thing all the time.
Same here
That’s exactly what I do! Glad to know others do the same.
Since my eggs come from my "backyard girls" they never go in the fridge. And some are more than room temp when I have to push the hen off the box, it's really warm. I did an experiment of putting fresh eggs into the fridge and then bringing them back out to room temp to use them. Even then I found a difference between an egg that had been refrigerated and one that had NeVER been refrigerated. Yep, the never refrigerated egg was better. If you weren't so far, or I could ship, I'd send you some that had never been refrigerated, to try yourself. Love your experiment/comparison posts. Keep up the excellent videos.
I get mine from my hens too, but I'm so used to refrigerated eggs all my life I mentally can't keep them out of the fridge! I want to try them out of the fridge now though!
Just want to backyard chickens
They really react to temps. One time I bought pasteurized eggs to make chocolate mousse. The whites were very thick out of the shell and took forever to get them to stiff peaks. Science in the kitchen is fascinating 😁
@@jcgetz84 We have chicks now but they aren't of laying egg age yet and we get eggs from a friend who doesn't wash them or refrigerate them for us so we can keep them on the counter and I absolutely hate refrigerated eggs now. Once you get used to them being on the counter you'll love it.
Completely agree Jeannie! World of difference in the taste, color, etc.
Ah . Also I find room temperature eggs essential in baking, mainly as cold eggs can re-solidify softened butter and cause that nasty curdled look to cake (etc) batters.
Thanks Steve, I'm gonna take my breakfast eggs out of the fridge early. See if it changes my omelet.
Enjoy learning things like this. Always wondered why the eggs had to be room temp. Thanks steve
I'm a leave the eggs on the kitchen counter to warm up, sometimes for hours, kind of person.
If you forget to get your eggs out before starting, just put them in a pan of warm, not hot, water for about 5 minutes
Interesting. My prediction was there would be a slight difference. I didn't expect it to be such a large difference.
I practically never let my eggs go to room temp. Who knows what I have been missing.
To mimic room temp put eggs in hot tap water for about 10 minutes.
By the time I decide what to fix, I don’t want to take more time to let the eggs get to room temperature. I guess as long as I don’t know what the difference is, then it’s not bothering me to use them while they’re still cold.
@@melinphx1 I definitely agree with that. Somehow I seem to not know I am making eggs until minutes before I start making them. Someone else responded to my comment with a suggestion of putting them in tap water for 10 minutes. I might try that ... but sometimes it might be more like 5 minutes.
I've just seen a baking video where she showed what happens to a cake batter with cold.eggs. Evidently, room temperature eggs emulsify better with other ingredients. Her cake that had cold eggs didn't bake right.
A shortcut is to place your eggs in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes if you forgot to take them out to warm up.
You and I seem to shop at the same t-shirt sights. Great video, I need all the help in the kitchen I can get.
I have noticed myself when making cupcakes muffins and pancakes Room temperature eggs do give more loft this is for cooking for my grand kids grand kids
I would have never thought that the temperature of an egg would make a difference. But I've been cooking for a while and Using the eggs at Room temperature. It does make a difference. Thanks Steve for the confirmation that I need to plan ahead so my eggs are at room temp.
10 min in hot water is usually what I do as I forget to put them out.
Wonderful experiment re eggs. I get mine store bought and yeah the store does refrigerate them but once I get home I never have them in the fridge, always on the counter because I cook and bake alot.
That is pretty cool. I never think about that part of cooking.
The cat meow really made my day! Come for Kitchen science stay for your adorable surly cat!
I learned that issue living in Mexico.
They leave the eggs out, buy only for the week, Get em fresh every shopping day.
Hope your tip helps others. I like it that way.
Saved this video to my "Eggs" list. Definitely informative. Often wondered the same things, but never took the time to explore. Thanks!
Me too!
I've been dropping my refrigerated egg into a bowl of warm water for 5 to 10 second bursts, then gently shaking it to distribute the warmth, repeating until it doesn't become cooler - usually two or three times. Then I combine the egg with gently- nuked (22 to 33 seconds) cream cheese or mascarpone. Voilà!
Wow - YT has restored my comment ability after more than a month! Hope it sticks.
Love the shirt👍😂🤣‼️
I have been curious about the difference but never took the time to test it. Thanks!!
This was fantastic! I'm the person that would set the eggs out and get distracted and forget why I had set them out and put them back in my fridge out of habit.
But my Mom has only ever used warm eggs when she cooks. She's smart about such things!
Love the kitchen experiments!!
I've always wondered but never had the time to try! Thanks!
Good info! Thanks for doing this test.
I love your kitchen experiments, thank you
I was always wondered myself. Glad you found out for all of us!
Thanks Steve! Good info.
I loved this video - so helpful.
I love these kind of experiments!!!
Thanks so much for doing this comparison.
Thank you for this Steve! I've always wondered the same.
Wow! Always wondered too. Thanks Steve!
Cool experiment! Thank you Steve 🙂
I can use this!! Thank you!!
Now I didn’t expect that outcome happy I watched it!! I think I’ll try that lemon poppy ricotta! 😍🕊🙏🏼❤️
Thanks for giving the temperatures in Celsius too, for those of us outside the US. As mentioned by others our eggs here in the UK are sold unrefrigerated and (in my case) stay that way.
This was a GREAT experiment/demo. Thanks for the eye-opening information. ☺️
perfect timing just when i was about to bake.. thanks for your amazing content
Ty Steve, love the shirt
Thanks, I always wondered about this.
I was wondering the same thing. Thanks!
Thank’s. Good to know 👍
Thank you so much! I appreciate you're work in these experiments that I just can't do. Very helpful! 💛💛
Thanks Steve!
Thanks Steve. Nice to see the comparison!
Thank you I always have seen room temp egg in recipes and really didn’t pay much mind to it, now clearly I will need to plan ahead for my baking. Just love the practical, short videos you release
Thanks Steve 👍 good to know 🙂
This was great, I’m going to try this with my weekly chauffle batch tomorrow. Thanks
I would have never thought it made a difference good work
Thanks Steve.
Love the shirt. I have always wondered if this made a difference. Thanks!
SO INTERESTING! Thank you 🥚
Thank you for doing that I was just wondering the other day about that :)
Loved the video
Love the shirt
Yes bring on more kitchen science!
Thankyou so much for this experiment. I am totally amazed! I will be trying this for my next batch of chaffels.
Excellent information. Really appreciate this future knowledge!
Thank you. This has long been a question of mine.
Thx for the video!
I absolutely love these type of videos! As I said before my eggs are always room temp however I didn’t know there was that much of a difference between cold and room temp eggs. Thank you for experimenting
Very informative. Thanks Steve Jennifer 😄
Interesting! I do like the kitchen science videos. Also your ricotta chaffle sounds so good, lemon poppyseed, yum!
Nice work, I learned something new!
Liked your practical comparison of RT vs refrigd eggs. Something I always wondered about. Nice work!
Love love kitchen science!! Thanks Steve. I will definitely use room temperature eggs for my chaffles now.
Fascinating!!!
Okay, I'm surprised! Thank you again, Steve!
Always wondered the same about room temp eggs. Thanks for this
Good information. I have often wondered if there's really any difference...the more you know.
Thanks Steve! Always wondered about this. I'm with you...I'll always make sure to get an egg out of the frig early!!!
Very good stuff!!
Always use room temperature eggs to make my own mayonnaise. Funnily enough I buy eggs off the shelf in Ireland but yet I store them in the fridge when I take them home
I never would have figured it would make a discernable difference... Like the difference between softened and melted butter, who would guess the difference it makes.
Yes! Great content. I've long wondered if it mattered. Will have to start taking eggs out earlier.
That was SO helpful! I just told my daughter, Cameron, what you said. We decided we will start setting our eggs out before our chaffles!
You're changin' the world ONE CHAFFLE at a tiiime.😉👍
THANKS, STEEEVE!💃🏻💞
You have a daughter named Cameron, so cool. I didn't think people would spell it the same way for a girl, right-on!
Off to the kitchen! I need to check this out.
I enjoyed watching your science experiment. Even though I already knew the outcome,
I still had to watch.😁👍👍
Very interesting, I was skeptical before as well. I never seem to remember to take the eggs out of the fridge so I submerge them in warm water for a few minutes and it works great. Thanks for doing this experiment for us Steve!
This is that attention to detail content we love. Thanks!
I’ll probably do a follow up, as this has me wondering about the impact on hard boiled eggs, soft boiled, etc.
Thanks for doing this video. I've always wondered what darn difference it makes if the egg is cold or not, but I've never tested it. Interesting!
Thanks Steve! I never questioned the room temp egg for baking but I haven't made Chaffles yet, so now I'm going be sure to do it the right way AND ADD LEMON as you recommended 😚😀
That was interesting, Thank u for that
Ty! This helps! 🤓
Thank you so much for this video Steve. I have always wondered the same thing. Also always wondered how long do you leave an egg out to be room temperature and you answer that right at the end so you have to always listen to the whole video. The black tie guy would be proud of you
Good to know 👍 Thanks Steve!💜🙏✌🎶🌞
This just may be a game changer....thanks!
Thank you for this. I was wondering the same thing. Will be taking my eggs out of the frig. a half hour early now.
Thanks for this. Since I've watched this I now always bring my eggs to room temp, even to scramble them. Just like in your video, they are much easier to completely scramble. Also noticed a minor thing; I have less of an issue with eggs shells.
Yeppers, it really does make a difference...
I love your shirt, I have breakfast, lunch, dinner and baking stuff pooped daily... my hens love me and loves to keep pooping out those eggs 🥚😍😋
Good video, Steve! It made me just go set some eggs out for my chaffle breakfast this morning!
That was really good 😊
Ricotta cheese! Who knew. I can't wait to try these. Thank you for the video.
This was very interesting and really appreciate seeing that there IS a difference and I should start following directions more when recipes call for room temp eggs.
And lemon poppyseed chaffel sounds great!
I just about have it dialed in. That should be next Friday's video.
That was interesting.
Thanks for this episode of Steve's Kitchen Science!
Great tip! 👍🤩
Hey Steve. You can also put eggs in a warm/hot dish of water if you forget to take them out of the fridge beforehand.
I love this vid. Who knew?
Since starting on my keep carnivore journey, with the help of people like you, I've learned not only how to be healthy(er) but how to appreciate the flavors and nuances in good cooking.
You make the vids short, to the point and entertaining. Plus, I still get that little spine tingle when I hear your intro. Geez, we've been together for a while. I'm so thankful to you and all the rest of your ilk who put yourselves out there for us. 🥰
Thank you. 😊
I find that a lot of the things I made with almond flour was dry so will definitely try this tip! Also never saw a whisk like that, might have to get one.
They’re great. I wouldn’t want to be without mine.
I was wondering about this, so thanks for clarifying why it’s important. I’ve been putting the eggs in a warm water bath just before baking but now may have to do an experiment to see if that works or I need to plan ahead and take the eggs out earlier🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
