I completely agree, OP, and wonder the same thing. I don't run into many people on here who overcook their eggs, but I have and do IRL. One shining example is my brother-in-law. I remember making scrambled eggs once when they were visiting, and my sister coming and looking at the eggs (as I just took them off the heat) and saying "Oh Anon, he won't eat eggs like that, you have to cook them more." So she grabbed the pan from me and not only cooked them dry and rubbery, but mashed them around so much they were like little pebbles of eggs. I was fucking furious. I mean, he can like his shit tier eggs if he wants, but why does everyone else have to suffer? Couldn't she have made him his own eggs? Anyway.....sorry, I have a lot of cooking rage stories about those two. He also mashes his burger patties when he grills them....
ANYWAY, yeah, I know other people who eat their eggs dry too, and it bewilders me. The worst is when you get eggs in restaurants that are rubbery and overcooked.

Oh god, I'm so sick of seeing that. First off, Ramsay didn't invent that style of egg. Secondly, he does a bad job of cooking them anyway. Thirdly, like someone else noted, you don't need to add all that dairy to make creamy eggs. And finally, as someone who trained under Marco Pierre White and other notable chefs, I expect better of him.

>> No.5480067

For those like myself who tend to either overcook or undercook them, try mixing in some campbell's cream of mushroom soup(without adding water). It keeps the eggs really creamy even when cooked longer, and they add a great flavor to them. (not overly mushroomy at all)

Oh lord.

This is fact...outside of the US, you will be disappointed by scrambled eggs. Oliver's eggs have huge bits of eggwhite, slimy, whisked a total of 4 seconds. Burned toast. They don't know what they're doing overseas, even thinking they understand US eggs. Undercook it, adulterate it with a bunch of cream or cheese to the point of excess and cook protein over crazyhigh heat. About a 1/4th cup of butter in his eggs, yet "you don't need dairy" exclamation. He stopped too soon, mexican style, completely undercooked on the American style.

I think this video pretty much explains it all.

I watched burt toast ramsays video and since then I've been cooking my eggs in a similar way. in all honesty though, if you have a good nonstick pan you really don't need any butter or creme fresh... just patience.

My eggs can come out just as creamy as his (but often don't because I don't want to stir for ten minutes straight and i put the heat up too high) and they taste great. the texture is superb and whether on a 'crustini' (aka small toast), an english muffin, or just using the bacon i cooked earlier as a utensil to scoop the eggs, they are great.

recently I've been trying to cook my eggs in the japanese omlette style, but i can't seem to get it right. Like in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5qoehk6xBM

this thread is filled with massive fucking cunts who don't want to engage with the fact that 'scrambled eggs' could mean a bajillion different things depending on what you want.

i personally don't like US style scrambled eggs most of the time but in a breakfast burrito they are perfect.

gordon ramsay only adds like a teaspoon of creme fraiche and if that makes you mad for some health-related reason you shouldn't be eating whole eggs. any egg recipe derived from french traditions is gonna involve extra butterfat. just deal with it. i hate fucking gordon ramsay but the backlash against his eggs video and the 'burnt toast' is just as fucking annoying as the people who call him 'chef ramsay' and post the video in every thread on the subject.

you're all fucking cunts.

also salt before, salt after, it makes a very marginal difference but it depends on both the method you use and what you want out of your eggs. if you're cooking your eggs lightly it is not going to pull water out of them. if you're doing US style and you suck at it and you leave it on a hot plate for a long time then yeah, maybe you'll end up with soggy bits of omelette in egg milk. but that's your fault, not salt's.

cofirmed for not knowing how to cook. Do you know what all the greatest chefs in the world have in common? They have the same core values for cooking dishes. They surely might try new and different methods, but they all agree that the core methods (like for scrambled eggs) are all on point, particularly for home cooks.

I'm pretty much one of these people.

I don't want it rubbery - that happens when it's overcooked. But I want it bouncy, not a 'creamy' slop like Gordon Ramsay and a lot of french chefs insist is the 'correct' way to cook eggs.

Jacques Pepin insists scrambled eggs need 'small curds', so you must constantly be stirring your eggs. This results in a french-style slop.

I'm not saying to overcook your eggs, but I like to stir it less often and have slightly bigger curds. Bouncy, non-liquid eggs.

perfecto.

No, you retard, it's their feed and (to a lesser extent) genetics. Most North American chickens have been bred to have a lighter yolk, and their feed usually exacerbates it, whereas in the EU they come from a different gene pool and have a different feed too.

You like Julia Child - style eggs (not that she's the only one who did that). Anyway, I learned to make eggs like hers years ago, from my mom (who was a culinary arts teacher). A few years ago, I bought the Julia and Jacques Cook at Home book, and found it interesting that Julia made eggs exactly as I made them, and Jacques made French-style eggs.
To me, French-style eggs are for a particular purpose. They should be used as a filling, as they were traditionally by Escoffier, in a toasted brioche cup, or other toasted bread cup or puff pastry. They aren't for eating with regular toast or just on a plate. You want sturdier eggs for that. I refuse to eat overcooked or dry eggs, but I also don't want French-style eggs on my regular breakfast plate. Eggs should, though, always be creamy (which doesn't mean runny), fluffy and melt in your mouth.

I seriously don't get how people can't understand that eggs can actually be both:

>cooked to the point where they're not dangerous, and
>creamy, fluffy, wet in some way.

I've explained my own scrambled egg method before and it basically involves mixing up the eggs with a whole lot of milk or cream and a bit of salt, then gently cooking the stuff over low heat, stirring when it starts forming solids, until you end up with a soft, wet, fluffy mass of fully cooked eggs and a bunch of "milk sauce" to dip your toast in. They're cooked, just not in the manner people are accustomed to. More like poached in its own milk mixture. Delicious, I never eat them any other way.

ROFL. It's a parody of how to do it. It amazes me how much people take one guys fatbomb cooking-at-home-as-if-its-a-restaurant-needing-fast-food-service as some kind of thing you should even try. It's laughable. I like how the very same idiots will cook eggs over a double boiler to get custard and yet cook scrambled eggs over the hottest gas burner they own, in a 2qt pot of all things, adding an imperial gallon of butter and cream so it doesn't stick in their poor choice of pan. Defies logic how stupid some people are. It's just their poverty youth translating to habit.

Now, don't season it. Because, if you put the salt in now, what actually happens is it breaks down the eggs. And it starts turning them into something sort of very watery. So, eggs in the pan with a nice knob of butter. Velvety finish. And never wisk beforehand. Off the heat, back off the heat. It's live, its a rossotto

This is a throwback from the days that people couldn't control heat on a screaming hot stove, so that you didn't scorch eggs cooked over too high of heat. And, there is zero scientific reason you shouldn't whisk beforehand.

because you have to get as much of the "eggy" taste out of it as possible. I like them scrambled hard or fried very hard. if the scrambled eggs aren't brown or the fried egg doesn't have a near-black crisp on the edge, I send it back until they do it right

Dunno. Maybe? To me, he looks like he's lost some weight, and then someone dyed the gray out of his hair, a single dark color with no highlights, but it's kind of mousy-too dark, certainly not the tone he used to have, and maybe a straight iron taken to it. Could be a hair piece?

I use the canola oil only because I need a little bit more lubrication than even a high quality teflon skillet can provide.

I used to whisk them in a small mixing bowl but then i figured fuckit i dont even own a dishwasher why would I use an extra bowl to mix em up when the finished product is better with a few white spots in it since it was obliterated when i would whisk it with some milk.

I love how butthurt you can get over the simplest things, /ck/. Stay classy.

When I want fluffy eggs, I whisk the shit out of them and I cook them on medium-high to medium heat with butter or olive oil (the taste never really comes through anyway), omelette style. As soon as the eggs reach a 50-60% curdled state, I salt and pepper, take off the heat and fold until the curds take on my desired size (huge), then I put them on the heat for a few more seconds before I plate them and season again.

I can eat these eggs on their own, usually with some bacon or whatever.

When I want the creamy eggs to eat on toast, I do it the same way Ramsay does, but without the creme fraiche. I find that creme fraiche dilutes the flavor considerably. I also don't fold the herbs in (if I'm using herbs), I like to leave them on top as a garnish, so my eggs are as eggy as possible.

Generally speaking, I want my curds to be no smaller than 1cm and no larger than 2cm, so I am really careful not to over/under-stir.

I think I'll try Blumenthal's recipe some time in the future. Something about Sherry vinegar + beurre noisette + smoked salmon gives me a boner. I think this is the only instance that I would personally allow cream in my eggs.
