Why do some recipes demand that eggs be at room temperature? What difference does it make?
Thanks

Eggs whip up to a greater volume when they’ve had a chance to warm up a bit, about 30 minutes.

If you're whipping egg whites, like in meringues or angel food cake, then it does make a difference because more air gets into the room temperature whites than colder whites. Similarly, it makes sense to paint challah with room temperature egg yolk, possibly warmed with a small amount of warm or hot water.

But in regular baking, it doesn't make much of a difference.

Also, if you need a room temperature egg but you didn’t plan ahead (which is me, almost always), you can warm it up quickly by setting the egg in a bowl of warm-ish water.

Still all fridges come with an egg tray in the door.
