Store raw duck eggs in their shell in the refrigerator. Do not wash them before storing, as this removes their natural protective coating.

Because of their higher fat content, duck eggs are excellent for baking, yielding moister and richer cakes and pastries.

Their firm whites whip up to create stable meringues and soufflés.

When scrambling or frying, the richer yolk provides a luxurious texture and taste.

Consider reducing the amount of fat (like butter or oil) in a recipe slightly when substituting duck eggs, as the egg itself contains more fat.
