Cooking / Culinary / COOKING RECIPE
English term or phrase: another question of SIZE 大, 中, 小.
I am also having problem of desribing the size of goods; e.g. Medium sauce pan, large egg, small tomato and the sort.
I would use "號", "型";e.g. 大號雞蛋一只 ......
or combine the size with quantitative modifier e.g. "雞蛋"二大隻(只)", "中平底鍋"等.
請指示正統說法. 謝謝!
