Ostrich Eggs
Of all the world’s extant bird species, the ostrich produces the largest egg: One of these bad boys yields the equivalent of two-dozen chicken eggs and, impressively, can keep refrigerated for up to a full year thanks to its substantial shell (roughly 1/8-inch thick). Ostrich eggs taste very similar to hen eggs but have a lower water content and a high yolk-to-white ratio, prized by some bakers. Start-to-finish time for hard-boiling an ostrich egg: roughly an hour and a half. —A.H.
