The egg is a culinary marvel.
Its versatility is unmatched, making it a staple in countless dishes worldwide.
From binding ingredients together to creating fluffy fillings and baked goods, the egg’s potential is limitless.
But among the myriad ways to prepare eggs, one method stands out for its universal appeal – scrambled eggs.
Scrambled eggs are often the first dish many of us learn to cook.
However, not everyone masters the art of making them just right.
Contrary to popular belief, not all scrambled eggs are created equal.
Many people are unaware that there’s a right way to cook them, often settling for less than perfect results.
Enter Amy, a culinary enthusiast with a popular YouTube cooking channel.
She’s on a mission to correct the common mistakes people make when scrambling their eggs.
Among her many videos, one stands out – “How to cook Perfect Fluffy Scrambled Eggs.”
It’s as much about what not to do as it is about what to do when scrambling eggs.
Amy’s journey to perfect scrambled eggs begins with cracking six eggs, enough to feed two to three people.
The number of eggs can be adjusted based on the number of servings needed, but the technique remains the same.
The first crucial step is to beat the eggs well before adding them to the pan.
Amy points out a common mistake people make – scrambling the eggs after they’re in the frying pan.
This results in the eggs cooking too quickly, leading to an inconsistent color and texture.
Instead, she advises beating the eggs well before adding them to the pan.
The more you beat the eggs, the more air gets incorporated, leading to fluffier scrambled eggs.
The next crucial step is to cook the eggs over low heat.
High or even medium-high heat can cause the eggs to cook too quickly, resulting in a rubbery texture.
Once the eggs are beaten and added to the pan, the way you stir them is equally important.
Amy advises against immediately scrambling the eggs once they’re in the pan.
Instead, wait for the eggs to start setting, then slowly pull the cooked eggs from the edges towards the center of the pan.
This method results in fluffy folds of eggs rather than large, flat chunks.
Once most of the eggs are cooked, start folding the fluffy mass on top of itself to cook off the rest of the liquid.
This ensures your scrambled eggs aren’t runny.
Once the eggs look fluffy and mostly cooked, gently turn them out onto a plate where they will finish cooking.
Amy debunks another common myth – adding salt and pepper or any other toppings before cooking the eggs.
She advises adding these after the eggs are cooked.
Following these tips and tricks from Amy can help you achieve perfect, fluffy scrambled eggs every time.
