You need a life if you cannot make simple scrambled eggs.

Cornstarch....I use it on many occasions mostly add to stews to thicken gravy.

But found it to be great for potato wedges.

don't like fluffy scrambled eggs.

Usually turn them into a western.

Here is Anthony Bourdain’s recipe. From
https://www.countryliving.com/food-drinks/a42079/anthony-bourdain-perfect-scrambled-eggs/

Scrambled eggs might seem like a simple dish, but there’s a lot of debate about how to make them the right way.

Top chef Anthony Bourdain is here to settle this breakfast dispute, once and for all. In a recent video for Tech Insider, the culinary king shared his simple secrets for making the perfect scrambled eggs.

First, you need four simple ingredients: eggs, butter, salt, and pepper. He emphasizes that the eggs must be very fresh—because after all, they’re the star of the show here.

Heat up a pan so it’s hot, but “not too terribly hot”. Then crack your eggs on a flat surface and deposit them into a bowl or cup. Next, beat the eggs with a fork—being careful not to over-beat them—to achieve a “ripple of white and yellow throughout.” Add salt and pepper, but nothing else—no water, no milk, and no cream. “It’s about the egg,” he says in the video. “You’re not making a quiche here.”

Immediately after mixing the eggs, deposit them into the preheated pan with plenty of hot, foaming butter. Anthony emphasizes that you shouldn’t let the eggs sit before cooking them. Let them “form up a little bit” in the pan before pushing them around in a figure-eight pattern. This folding technique helps achieve fluffy eggs with a favorable texture (and none of those little broken bits).

“Like a lot of really good, simple things, more often then not, people find a way to overcomplicate them and screw them up,” says Bourdain. So remember: It’s breakfast, not brain surgery.

:: adds half the butter cubes, eggs and salt to this slurry and whisks it till it’s combined and frothy. ::

It calls for cold butter.
Whisking until frothy will take about 20 minutes.
Ain’t nobody got time for that!
Takes less time to drive to waffle house.

The only way to make a decent omelet is mix 4 eggs, a diced hot pepper and some green pepper. Cook with diced slice of bacon.

You’d think but with very few exceptions I have yet to come across a restaurant that has grasped the concept.

But I don’t like fluffy or creamy scrambled eggs. I stir just enough to mix the yolk and egg-white a bit, let it cook through and then eat. It’s just an egg...

“Whisking until frothy will take about 20 minutes.”

No way. Did you think he does it with frozen butter? No just butter from the fridge.

My secret ingredient...one heaping tablespoon of Mayo with two extra large eggs. Whip the eggs and Mayo up well (aerating the mixture). Keep the mixture moving in the pan, and remove from heat when they start to solidify and serve.

“Cooking scrambled eggs just isn’t that complicated.”

Exactly. Pseudo-intellectuals think they, and only they, have the secrets to the world simple tasks. They’re not very bright if scrambled eggs are a puzzle.
