I despise Kenji’s politics, him being to the left of Mao, but he can cook. I will give him that. Unfortunately, in his utopia, bark soup will be all there is for dinner.

I sprinkle in a little pepper or Tony’s

[a fool in paradise]

No I have not. I do not cook scrambled eggs.

[Bullish]

No thanks... Over easy please.

Except does it really require Anthony Bordain to explain how to cook scrambled eggs? I could cook them when I was 8 years old. Or are people just ridiculously picky about preparing a staple?

As long as the eggs aren't those nasty powdered ones we got on those rare occasions qe got hot breakfast on a field exercise, who cares? You'd have to be moron to ruin a dish that requires only one freaking ingredient.

I find adding a tablespoon of milk, when I microwave my eggs, has that fluffy effect.

Cornstarch....I use it on many occasions mostly add to stews to thicken gravy.
But found it to be great for potato wedges.

How does that work?
Dip wedges in oil or butter and spices including the corn starch?

I learned to never hard boil eggs in the microwave.
You might blow the door off of the microwave in a SCIF...

Just use cream instead of milk, the eggs will be plenty fluffy.

I’ll stick with Jacques Pepin’s technique. Simple, nez pas?

Half & Half works great. Scrambled eggs aren’t complicated.

This is easy.

1 tbspn of bacon fat over medium low (leaning towards low) heat.

beat eggs with just a touch of milk. Pour in pan. Constantly stir. Take out when soft scrambled (not creamy scrambled - difference of about 10-15 seconds).

Sourdough toast with butter.

Good stuff.

[Freedom56v2]

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.

Hmmm I had different take...

I read article and watched video (entire process took 10 min or so).

Maybe I missed it, but nowhere did it say or seem to take 20 minutes to make frothy...Don’t have to disolve/melt the butter.

My take, Faster, tastier, and cheaper than Waffle House. Eh based on other poster’s comment, maybe safer too ;)

Have a good evening.

As with flour, corn starch is an easy way to thicken-up gravies and soups.

[be-baw]

How do y’all make scrambled eggs? I might try to make them your way and report back on how they were.

[Carriage Hill]

That’s an omlet.

I prefer the Gordon Ramsey way. It relies on technigue. Not ingredients. He uses it to test a chef for expertise.
