Current Events > Just realized I've been cooking scrambled eggs incorrectly my entire life

(+) Yeah! (+)

So up until this morning, when I cook scrambled eggs, I'd always end up with a bits of eggs stuck to the pot after serving. What I normally did was crack the eggs open and pour them into a bowl, add pepper, and beat/stir the eggs so that it's a relatively even mixture. Then I'd pour it into a pot and then put the pot on the heat. Then I'd use the Gordon Ramsay method of taking the pot off and back on the heat as I'm scrambling to keep them from overcooking. As soon as the eggs are about at my preferred level of being cooked, I'd serve.

This morning, I decided to preheat the pot to medium heat. I did the normal thing with cracking the eggs in the bowl, adding pepper, and beating/stirring. I lowered the heat knob for the pot to medium-low, waited a few minutes, then poured the eggs into the pot. Of course, the eggs started to instantly cook. I thought I had made a collossal mistake and started stirring in a panic because I wanted scrambled eggs... The eggs scrambled and absolutely nothing stuck to the pot. I was done scrambling in like 20 seconds.

I think I'll keep doing it that way.

You're cooking eggs wrong if you're not using this to season them:

Alternatively, use nonstick spray.

But yes, I've heard a lot of people say that heating it up higher than you intend to cook and then bringing it down just before you add the eggs is a good strategy for making good eggs.

Add a little milk into the eggs while you're beating them. makes them much better.
