Say, remember when you were 10 and you were so proud of yourself because you had learned how to cook eggs all by yourself? Now we imagine you look back and think, “Wow, there was nothing impressive about that at all! I sure was a lame child!” Well, you might be an adult now, but we’re here to say that when it comes to making eggs, your culinary skills haven’t improved, to say the least! We’re talkin’ a lot of mistakes, folks. The kind of screw-ups that deserve a visit from the much feared Food Police. But lucky for you, we’re here to help you see the error of your ways and demonstrate that with just a few changes, you’ll be making eggs that are better than anything the 10-year-old version of you could ever dream of!
1. Cooking the eggs right out of the fridge
Did we just blow your mind… because we’re pretty sure we did! If you’re cooking your eggs straight out of the fridge, you run the risk of having them steam when frying. Who’d want that? Yikes! Instead, we suggest letting the eggs reach room temperature and then when you cook standard fried eggs, add a small amount of water and put a lid on the pan. Eggs are plenty fickle, guys.
