Scrambled Eggs

[Prisoner 24601]

What is the shortest amount of time you can scramble an egg? I have just done 7 seconds on high heat....then splashed with soy sauce once out the pan. Tastes good.

A single egg?

Yep

Is it not a bit more like a cut up fried egg at that speed? It takes me at least as long as it takes to cut bread and toast it for me.

[GiantCardboardPlato]

Are you including TTB in that 7 seconds?
What about the PPW step?

Whooaa - 3-4 mins scrambled eggs?

I also do mine very slowly over a low heat, 3-4 mins, seems to me more or less essential to have the ‘silkyness’ of good scrambled eggs?

Oh fair enough, maybe i am missing something.

I like them a little runny, not too runny. Less than 10 seconds is usually fine. #

1-2 eggs in a cup and beat thoroughly. Then butter in a high pan for a minute or so. Then whop the eggs in and stir thoroughly. 10 seconds - out and done!

Life's too short!

Whisked in a jug and microwaved - for one minute per egg.

Five eggs in a bowl, puncture the yolks, don't whisk. Add three tablespoons of double cream.

Heat a heavy-based pan over medium heat, add 100gms butter plus a pinch of salt and grind a couple of twists of pepper in. When butter is melted add eggs, reduce heat and stir with a wooden spoon in one direction only, making sure none of the egg sticks to the pan.

When it like thick, lumpy custard remove from heat and stir a little more.

That's scrambled eggs according to John Torode, it works for me.

That's pretty much how I cook it except it's full fat milk instead of double cream and I whisk with a fork. The toast goes in at the same time as the butter and once the eggs go in the toast gets buttered.

It’s impossible to stir in one direction as it’s a circular motion and therefore the spoon moves in all directions within one plane.

More like 5 mins.

Low and slow. Five eggs, punctured and mixed. Medium hot pan. Butter. Aiming for a thick, smooth custard with big lumps in it.

If you flash fry eggs to scramble them, you lose all that custardy creaminess taste and texture. I follow the low and slow method. It takes a good ten minutes of constant stirring to get there but they taste amazing....

7 seconds? Pah. I crack eggs directly into my mouth and scramble them by gargling.

Lots of Youtube videos on perfect scrambled eggs but this guy says three eggs plus one yolk, and after adding salt and mixing, leave 15 minutes before cooking.

I tried it once, and it really does help, but too inconvenient for the real world.
