Why Most People Ruin Scrambled Eggs
You’ve been lied to: adding milk makes eggs watery, not fluffy. The real secret? Low heat + constant stirring. Here’s how to do it right:
Step-by-Step Method
- Whisk 2 eggs with a pinch of salt just before cooking (not earlier — this breaks down proteins).
- Use a non-stick pan on low heat (no sizzling!).
- Stir slowly with a spatula in figure-8 motions for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat when eggs look slightly underdone (they’ll keep cooking).
Pro Tip: Add 1 tsp butter at the end for creaminess (not during cooking!).
The Science Behind It
- Low heat prevents rubbery texture.
- No milk = no water evaporation = no toughness.
- Constant stirring creates small, soft curds.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Cooking on high heat (makes eggs dry).
❌ Adding milk/water (dilutes flavor).
❌ Letting eggs sit after whisking (causes sulfur smell).
