how do you cook eggs in one of these things it just sticks super badly whenever i try
>>20974408get it hot first, than put some oil and spread it around so it coats every part of the pan, than drop the eggs, if it still sticks, the pan is shit.
>>20974419i dont wanna get a new pan though, i just wanna use mine
>>20974440Well then do this>>20974419Is this your only pan?
>>20974448i did do that, and yah its my only pani dont wanna get some non stick one because they suck
>>20974450Well I don't know how to help you bud, I avoid pans like this because of that problem, I had one of those and they don't retain much heat and it heats unevenly. How do you make your eggs?
>>20974453i just put the heat on medium, let it heat up, put oil in, spread it around, then put the eggs init could be because i used 3 eggs in quite a small pan or maybe it was 'cause i had the heat on too long which caused the bottom to brown too fast, it might be a 1-2 egg pan only and not a 2-3 egg pan
>>20974454Maybe you should put more oil, I don't think the amount of eggs matter. I usually like my eggs crispy on the bottom so I crank up the heat, it splatters alot but I hate just white soft eggs with no texture. I also use a small pan to make eggs and i've put 4-5 at one time.
>>20974456really? i thought more oil made it stick more or somethin, i like my eggs crispy on the bottom too but the crisp stuck so i got no crisp :(maybe i will ask my family, they have a lot of good cooks
>>20974456my favorite pan is the stainless steel one, if you use it properly it makes everything taste better with a better crust and everything, would recommend buying one, it's gonna last you forever. You can find em in thrift shops or second hand, after a soda bath they are as new.
>>20974457Noo, it's the opposite, the oil actually makes a layer between the pan and the food so that is actually what prevents it from sticking. I make my eggs with olive oil and usually coat the whole pan with a layer before frying, try it out next time.
>>20974457>i like my eggs crispy on the bottom too but the crisp stuck so i got no crispthat means you have't put enough oil and the temperature is not high enough, you have to take in consideration that whenever you put something in the pan that immediately lowers the heat, so you need it to be a little hotter than you think - so when you drop the food it even's out the temp.
>>20974462well i mean it got crispy its just that the crispy stuff stuck to the pan so in the end it came off and i didnt get a crispy bottom, or a bottom at all really
>>20974462after you heat the pan and when you put the oil remember to swearl it around so the oil coats every millimeter of the pan and live it for a few seconds so the oil makes a protective layer
>>20974463Yep, that means not enough oil so the egg literally sticks to the pan.
>>20974465ah, ill try more oil next time then
>>20974490:)
>>20974408why are you cooking eggs without butter?
>>20974664are you supposed to use butter or something?
>>20974664butter burns at high temps and you can't get the proper crisp without burning it
>>20974677yes, it's how you properly flavor an egg.>>20974685you're cooking all wrong.you start eggs low and then high heat at the end for 15 seconds.
>>20974836He has a problem with the pan sticking fren, this is not an option in this case.
>>20974836This is exactly how not to cook eggs
Enamel is one of the stickiest pans you can get, worse than stainless.You could try to do the stainless thing. Put in a layer of oil, bring to smoking, dump it out and wipe it, let cool. Then start cooking with your actual oil.
>>20974863stainless is good if you know how to use it, it's probably my favorite pan
>>20974450>nonstick pans suckYet here you are complaining about eggs sticking, while not using a nonstick pan.
>>20974869True
add some oil to the butter to increase how much heat it can take.or just use a high heat oil in the first place.
use butter(enough to layer the pan and have some cooling in the center after a couple turns)with or without oil(high smoke point only) on medium/low(if your range has 9 use no more than 5)use room temperature eggs(if they've been in the fridge run them under a warm tap for a minute)move them often(if you cant slide them around the pan without touching them you need more butter/oil or less heat)if those steps do not improve the outcome you either suck or your pan sucks.
>>20974962Now post the 35% of the eggs that came out of the pan as well as the aftermath left in it.
>>20975827it's a meme, you dip. those are already stuck. you must not have much experience with eggs.
>>20975814>>20974836okay ill try this, thanks for the advice anons!>>20974954i just dont want the goypan 3000 but i wont judge you for cooking with one
>>20976367a small $20 nonstick will work for a few years if you dont overheat it, use soap too often or otherwise abuse the surface. once your done cooking remove any food bits and wipe the excess grease away with a paper towel and put it back on the burner and turn it off. let it sit there until it cools.
>>20976445if you were told a lead pan was "safe to use" you'd use it, i dont trust any of these teflonslop nonstick pans
>>20975827>>20975902lol retards.
>>20977133obviously different eggs
>>20976450teflon is not harmful. in fact it's good for you. anyone who got sick from teflon wasn't using it in a frying pan.
>>20977247Cope more
>>20977261>dude same pan hahamaybe you fool the youngins, but ya ain't foolin me.
>>20977387Lrn2cook
>>20974408just switch to 3-5 ply stainless steel and you won't have this issue. stainless steel will last you a lifetime and then some unless you're retarded. also use more oil, or switch to butter or tallow.
>>20976445>use soap too ofteni.e. basic kitchen hygieneyour pan sucks balls and you can't shill it here
>>20977591post your closet full of rusted cast iron midwit
>>20978047>teflonbrained pfaggot calling others midwits
>>20974408Do it like in webmrel my lil nig
>>20977591>>20978555cognitive dissonance wont help your eggs stop sticking to your pan, but teflon will.
>>20978572this helped, thank you autistic itachi>>20978584real shinobi don't use teflon
>>20978047>retard that thinks you can’t use soap on teflon gets confronted by a retard that thinks you cant use soap on cast iron
>>20978572awful rotoscoped garbage
>>20978992Fuck off newfag
well i still fucked them up and burned my finger on the toaster but at least my eggs didnt stick this time, thanks itachi
>>20979303Are you OP? Did you follow the tips and still didn't work? You know more oil, hotter pan?
>>20979309it did work, i used butter and i didnt even need to use my spatula or anythin, i just kinda messed up cooking themand yah im op, i kinda forgot a lot of stuff in the moment because i had the stupid itachi cooking eggs webm stuck in my head
>>20974440Then you will have to shallow fry your eggs. You will burn through a lot of oil this way but you will have to add enough oil so that there is like a ~3cm deep layer of oil. Other posters have said your pan is shit - which is true - but if you insist on keeping that shit you will have to live with it
>>20979317>too distracted by thoughts of an anime man cooking the eggs to cook eggs himself Shamefully retarded.
>>20979317I'm glad you figured it out OP.
>>20974408Make sure the pan is hot. You can test the temp by putting in a drop of water. If it start boiling, it isn't hot enough. If it stays in a ball and slides around the pan like it's on ice skates, then you're ready. Oil/grease the pan and let it come to heat by waiting about 10 seconds. Then crack your egg in. If your egg looks like it's sticking, just let it keep cooking and it should unstick itself. If it sticks after you did all that, you probably didn't properly coat the bottom with oil.
>>20979337i think the pan is alright, i used butter and it worked
>>20978572How does the dish soap affect the flavour?
>>20979928its like liquid hatred for your stomach
>>20979459what do you think about pouring a bit of water in the pan to make steam and putting the lid on in order to cook the eggs thoroughly enough when cookin on higher heats?? will it cook the yolk too much?
