Whats the secret to a good scramble egg? Mine always look sad and I can never get them fluffy like iHop.

[Anonymous No.14105068]

put a tiny bit of pancake batter in the eggs and beat it all together before you cook it

Corn starch, emulsified milk and very very cold eggs.

Take them off the heat before they're cooked through.

I add a little cold water while scrambling in a glass and I use alot of butter in the pan.

>>14105070
this is literally the secret to scrambled eggs
do not overcook

no need to add stupid shit like sparkling water or milk or whatever the fuck else, ever

I should probably add what I do.

1. Scramble 2 or 3 eggs in a bowl. Do not add anything else.
2. Cook in virgin olive oil
3. Add salt and cheese the moment the egg hit the pans
4. Flip after 30 seconds, leave it for another 30 seconds then take it off

What am I doing wrong here? Why aren't they fluffy?

Thaaaaaaat. Hot pan, smash some eggs innit, turn of the heat and stir lightly.

[Anonymous No.14105105]

>>14105090
so you stir the eggs after they hit the pan?

[Anonymous No.14105136]

>>14105105
You crack the eggs into a bowl and season to your liking or put some greens/browns in it. That mixture you poor into the pan and very gently stir (more like distribute very slowly) so that everything comes into contact with the heat once. Egg will cook rapidly once you introduce heat and will keep cooking once you take the heat off.

In other words, what you are trying to achieve is to put enough heat into your eggs so that they can cook to your desired firmness. If you take the pan of the stove when you think they are perfectly done, they are overdone.

Don't know how to describe it, pic rel

I don't understand. Do you use a fork when you do this?

It took less than 1 minute for you to reply with "that". Fock yourself, I hope you'll dine on shit eggs for the rest of your life.

Butter. Butter.
Keep the eggs moving.
Use a whisk.
Take them off a smidge before you think they're done.

It's not that hard.

I'd also add that near constant stirring helps mine be extra fluffy

[Anonymous No.14105184]

>>14105168
stirring while its cooking?

[Anonymous No.14105205]

Add millk to eggs. That's what buffets and restaurants often do to make their eggs go further. Put in 1/4 cup of milk and stir in with eggs. You might be able to do more milk but I don't normally eat that shit, but have had it made for me so I would start out with that and you'll notice the difference in the eggs.

creme fresh, dont salt until almost cooked or the eggs will get runny, the heat and how much u stir makes a world of difference

[Anonymous No.14105798]

>>14105184
Yes

Literally pre scramble them

Mix them why they cook, like if you’re making an omelette

Don’t go super high heat, medium or medium low.

Once it stops filling the entire pan with yoke, stop the heat, give it like 20 secs then take off heat

best scrambled eggs are the easiest to make
tblsp - 2 of butter in a med-high pan, crack eggs in and literally just let them sit and cook for a couple minutes until the whites are almost set, then fold them over each other while breaking the yolk a bit. Take them out after less than 5 minutes of total cooking time, you should be able to tell when they're done.

don't let it finish cooking in the pan.

[Anonymous No.14106030]

>>14105060
Low heat, non stick pan, some butter or another oil/fat of choice and keep continuously stiring.

[Anonymous No.14106056]

>>14105060
Just make them a baby food like all the top chefs do.

a large knob of butter and low heat for 10-15 minutes. gently scrape and collect curd until mo more liquid egg remains. they should be slightly wet when you pull them off the heat.
