Eggs are sold by weight. Large eggs are 24oz per dozen so 8 eggs should average 16oz. I wouldn't worry about the .8 once shortfall. Cheesecakes are forgiving like that...

But if your recipe is by volume instead of weight, then that would be just over two cups of eggs. That is an awful lot for a cheese cake.

3 eggs and 1 egg yoke

I am not real sure, I have never seen a recipe like that. I guess you could break them into a measuring cup and keep breaking until you got 16.8 oz. Good luck!

geez Ednaa, that's a real poser.Never heard of a recipe that asks you to weight the dam things

That sounds like a very odd recipe; 16.8 oz of eggs?? What kind of crazy measurement is that?? I think 16 oz is about a cup. I would say about 4 large eggs, maybe 5.

I got that wrong! 16 oz is 2 cups! That is a heck of a lot of eggs for a cheesecake. If you haven't started it, I would look for a different recipe.

Can you use a measuring cup (ounces)?

That is almost two cups worth of eggs, get another recipe, try Tyler Florence, Ultimate cheese cake, less eggs and easier recipe.
8 oz is a cup. So about 2 cups.

I just put whole eggs on the scale (mine only goes up to 16 oz). So when I placed the 7th extra large whole egg (with shell) on the scale, it was over 16 oz.

So I placed one whole egg (shell and all) on the scale and got just a hair over 2 oz.

Dividing 16.8 by 2 = 8.4 eggs.

The last answer is probably right.

1 large egg without shell=50 grams/ 1.7 oz
so you need 10 depending on the size of eggs you have
