Double yoke eggs?
Posted on 7/1/18 at 10:13 am

Do they serve these in restaurants? Do they count them as one egg or do they try to charge you for two?
Also, i read that they are good luck. Does anyone have any experience with this?
TIA

Is this a thread about housing descrimination?

Most likely they charge it as one egg. Cooks aren’t opening up the egg and charging for an extra yolk that falls out

I do not think double yolks are graded out for normal restaurant use.

I don’t think they’re going out and buying double yolks no. But a random double yolk egg in a batch of regular eggs? I don’t see why they’d throw that out

If you are baking, does it count as 1 or 2?

Great question.

A double yolk will not fit in a normal packaging box or crate.

I just got a double yoke in a carton from the grocery store. When i picked it up, i thought they accidentally added a jumbo egg to the medium carton.

Just curious, you think that egg grew in the carton?

Recently I purchased a box of extra large eggs from RD and I have had 3 double yoke eggs in the first 3 cartons. Luck is looking good for me.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that double yolk egg tend to have an elongated shape.
Weird thing is, when cracking eggs for omelettes or frying, I have often encountered the double yolk eggs.
When hard boiling eggs and peeling them for salads of just eating them for breakfast, I have never encountered a double yolk. Do they coalesce during the boiling process?

Double yolks are typically very elongated compared to a single yolk, in my experience.
About all I can say.

This is what I've heard as well. Most of the double yolks get graded out to bakeries and such. Apparently the average American consumer is too troubled by this phenomenon.
Of course when we were kids we looked for the lumpy eggs in the coop because more times than not it was the almighty double yolks.

Do you know how I can get a dozen of nothing but those double yolk rejects?

Gonna need to find you somebody with laying hens. They’ll usually segregate the double yolks.

Ahh, I was hoping there was something like a "grade B" egg that you might be able to find if you knew where to look. I'd imagine the imperfect eggs all end up going to the part of the packaging line that does liquid egg products instead of in-the-shell eggs, so those delicious double-yolk eggs never make it off the farm.
I REALLY like egg yolks and would be happy to pay for "reject" eggs.
EDIT: Apparently, several years ago, Sauders Eggs used to package dozens of double yolk eggs.

Grab the Miss Farm and Market Bulletin and locate an egg seller near you.
