Sunny, until you can provide us pictures of your masterly prepared eggs that surpass kriemhild's pictures, she will hold the title of PotD's Official Master Chef.

Pictures of my food are on the internet. I don't need to share them with haters and naysayers.

Those who prefer over easy do not have an issue with runny whites.

Then I suppose I mean over medium!

I never order them at restaurants though since I can just make them myself / they're not that interesting.

@SunWuKung420 what's your favorite dish to make at your place of work?

---

I like them all. I also like boiled and fried.

Sunny side up Cooked on one side only until the egg white is set but the yolk remains liquid.
Over easy Cooked on both sides; the yolk is runny and the egg white is fully cooked.
Over medium Cooked on both sides; the yolk is cooked through but soft and near liquid at the center. The egg white is thoroughly cooked.
Over well Cooked on both sides with the yolk fully cooked through and hard. Similar to a hard-boiled egg.
Over hard Cooked on both sides with the yolk broken, until set or hard.
Poached Cooked without the shell in boiling water.
Coddled Cooked in the shell in boiling water, the white remains liquid.
Soft boiled Cooked in the shell in boiling water, the white is cooked but the yolk remains liquid.
Hard boiled Cooked in the shell in boiling water until the yolk is firm.
Scrambled Eggs are whisked, then stirred as they cook, producing small curds. Other ingredients may be added.
Omelette Eggs are whisked, cooked without stirring, then folded over. Other ingredients may be added before folding.
Frittata Eggs are whisked, mixed with other ingredients, cooked without stirring, then flipped instead of folded.

Yeah topic is missing a looooong of options. Dont expect all but having only 3 is too little.

I can't say I have one.

Depends on what I'm having with them.

Good scrambled and omelettes are about controlling the heat in contact with the egg.

I do this for a living. Constantly moving the cooked egg and exposing the uncooked egg to the heat is key. My omelettes and scrambled are so fluffy.

The heat part is easy. I'm quite capable of cooking good scrambled eggs. The only difficulty is in flipping the omelette without turning it into scrambled eggs, which has nothing to do with heat control.

I mean I don't think my omelettes are that pretty because I don't flip perfectly but I don't understand the concern about making it scrambled eggs...

heat control I would agree is the main thing. I really need to get an omelette dedicated pan, wreck the fuck out of it when making omelettes (worth it though).

Yea, the flip is scary. A good skillet helps.

It has gotten substantially easier to make omelettes since I got an actual non-stick pan (albeit a $5 Ikea one, though it's honestly way better than I was expecting for that price). Stainless steel isn't exactly ideal for eggs. The pan's still too small to actually cook a 4-egg omelette all the way through, but it does mean I can get a spatula under a smaller one without immediately rending it asunder.

It's not the end of the world, since scrambled eggs are still tasty, but it is disappointing, especially where cooking an omelette generally takes more careful effort than cooking scrambled eggs.
