- If it's a non-stick pan, such as a carbon steel pan, you'll need to apply a thin layer of non-stick to the pan before adding butter.
- If you have trouble separating the shells, break the eggs into a bowl, examine the shell fragments and carefully pour the eggs into the pan.
How to identify fresh eggs
If you're not sure how many days the eggs have been in the refrigerator, prepare a glass of water and gently drop the eggs in it.
If the egg sinks to the bottom of the cup, This is a sign that the eggs are still fresh and can be used in food preparation.
If you see eggs in the water with their large heads facing up, eggs have been preserved for many days. Eggs that have been stored for many days are still safe to fry or boil, provided the finished product is cooked evenly.
If the eggs surface in the water, These eggs are out of date and should be discarded.
- Or, you can let the whites touch and separate after the eggs are done using a grit or a knife.
Cover the pan and fry the eggs for 2-3 minutes. Covering the pan can shorten the processing time and ensure the whites become hard while the yolks remain loose. After 2 minutes, open the lid and check to make sure the egg whites are fully cooked. If the eggs are not fully cooked, continue to cover and fry the eggs for another 30-60 seconds.
- You can check the ripeness of the eggs by gently shaking the pan to see that the yolks are still shaking and the whites are hard.
- Usually, most cast iron pans will work in an oven, but many non-stick and carbon steel pans are not.
Break 2 eggs into the pan so that the whites do not stick together. You will carefully smash each egg onto each side of the pan. If the whites do touch, place the flat edges of the grit between them to separate until you put the pan in the oven. After you break the eggs into the pan, remove the pan from the stove.
- Try to break the eggs into the pan as quickly as possible while keeping the yolks.
- For some types of ovens, this step can take 3 and a half minutes; So turn on the oven light and observe each whites to know when they're fully cooked. If the yolks start to turn white, remove the pan from the oven immediately so the egg doesn't overcook.
- It's best to enjoy it right away so the eggs don't cool.
Advice
- If you're having trouble keeping the yolks in the middle, try separating the whites from the yolks. The next thing is to add the whites to the pan and add the yolks to the center of the whites.
Warning
- Eating completely undercooked eggs can cause food poisoning. So, make sure you cook the eggs evenly to reduce the risk of food poisoning.
