You got stuck egg AND forever chemicals in your food, delicious.

Use Gordon Ramsay's method (which means using a saucepan). Seriously, just do it. You won't believe how good your eggs can be and you'll never do it any other way. Regular scrambled eggs, but they're so rich they taste like cheese eggs.

I was going to say "butter" and I was right but apparently he also went with "texture of baby poop".

Reduce the heat. You are getting your pan too hot. Also, non stick or not, use some form of fat to aid in heat transfer and help keep it from sticking. You don't need a lot. A 1/4 tbsp will work.

I just reduce down the heat and use nonstick pam spray to cook my eggs.

You guys are still putting PFAS in your food?

[–] Anamnesis@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (28 children)

There's nonstick without pfas. Does it have other chems we have no idea about? Probably. But not pfas.

Regardless of the type of pan you are using, you will find eggs ate much less likely to stick if you wait for the pan to be hot before you out the eggs in. I don't know why this is, but if you put cold eggs in a cold pan, they will stick when you cook them.

Usually you need hot pan as the water will vaporise and make a vapor layer that prevent sticking

For inox pan, it also avoid that the micro cracks in the metal move and expand during the cooking which tend to trap the food and make it stick a lot

But you should avoid to heat a non-stick pan without food as it can emit toxic fume if it reach a critical temperature

Full respect to inox gang, but I'm Cast Iron crew for life

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe I should!

Also, if you're cooking at too high of a temperature it'll stick. It'll burn the very outer layer and stick the the pan.

[–] cashew@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

When the pan heats (and expands), its microscopic gaps close up. If foods are added before this happens, it pinches and traps the food causing it to stick.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

it’s because the eggs expect to be warm and they punish you if you let them get cold. same reason chickens sit on them before they hatch.

[–] droans@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A little tip - put a small pad of butter on the pan first, let it melt, and then spread it out. The pan will be the perfect temp for the eggs and it'll make them a bit better.

Also, add a couple tablespoons of milk to the eggs. It will make them smoother and fluffier.

Scramble em in a glass cup and pour that into the pan. Might work better

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

You forgot to turn on the heat

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Yes, thank you, your advice was good so I thought I would take a crack at it.

Is this strangely erotic or am I just American?

Did it awaken something in you?
