I wont brag on too many things, but I'll confidently say I'm a damned good cook. From grilling to baking, I'm good at making food. Except fried eggs. I'm the no-flippin'est, egg stickin'est, yolk breakin'est mother fucker you'll ever meet in a kitchen.
Was hoping I'd get some good tips here (besides the water steamin' thing). |

Quoted: Some people don't know how to do this correctly, I see people doing it all different ways. I'm not sure if this is the Italian American way to do it or what, but it's by far the best way. Oil or butter in pan on medium high heat. Break a whole egg directly into pan. Immediately break the yoke and let it go where it wants to, do NOT stir it up. Let the egg cook for a very short period of time, soft and bit liquidy on top is preferred. Do NOT flip the egg over. Slide egg onto sandwich of choice. Enjoy. You're welcome. View Quote |

OP is traded. That describes a fucked up attempt at sunny side up. Sub: Never heard of HP sauce. What's it like? Fried egg does indicate a broken and cooked yolk. Fried= broken yolk, flipped and fried till done Over easy= flipped but whites not completely done Over medium= flipped and whites done, yellow still as completely runny as possible Over hard= flipped and yolk done completely but don't cook the egg till it's solid rubber hockey puck style. Sunny side up is not flipped, intact yolk. Some will splash grease up on the egg to get the whites most of the way done. Bacon grease is preferred. Sausage grease or butter is acceptable. EVOO is not a good flavor with eggs. I'm an over medium guy unless making sammys then it's fried. View Quote I dunno if it's regional or what. Here's how I know it: Over easy= flipped and whites done, yellow still as completely runny as possible Over medium= flipped and yolk still a little soft in the middle Over hard= flipped and yolk done completely Sunny side up= not flipped, intact yolk. Fried= like sunny, but also splashing grease up on the egg to get the whites most of the way done. 53vortecs= broken yolk, one side burned. Generally mixed up in hash or fed to dogs. |

Ok. First know what you are talking about; over easy, over medium, over hard. If you dont know what these are, you cannot start. I like over medium. Thats the whites hard, the yolk soft/runny, but completely cooked on the outside. Heat pan on med high. Add BUTTER, you fucking heathens. Allow it to start to brown, crack and drop the egg on the pan and dont break the yolk. Salt, pepper. Immediately, toss a couple tablespoons of water in the pan, cover with lid. The steam will cook the top. Flipping an egg is for dummies. After about 1-2 minutes, it will be done. Slide from pan onto buttered toast with just a touch of honey. You can also throw some bacon betwixt the egg and the toast, and also sprinkle some nice mild cheddar on top it you feel like it. Enjoy. View Quote I'm pretty sure I ate a passel of fried eggs before I knew how to order them properly. |

Eggs should NEVER be cooked in anything except butter (unless poaching or hard or soft-boiling.) The rest are just minor details.

Broken yolks are for omelets. This is one of the most cretinous posts in the history of this site.

There should be absolutely nothing runny in my eggs. Can't do the yellow snot running on my food.

If you want rubbery eggs, use med-high, or higher heat.
For eggs they way they're supposed to be, use low, to low-medium heat. It takes longer, but you'll cook something edible. |

HP Sauce is okay, I enjoy it often. However my go to is Major Grey's Chutney. Sweet, spicy, just a hint of heat. Great stuff on toast used for dipping in over easy or slightly runny egg yokes.

It'd be a horrible travesty to go to the trouble of making biscuits and gravy and then not have runny yolk to mix in with it. |

alright, who banned the OP, his account isn't active, when and where is the thread were he was banned?

I'll be damned. It seems almost like different people have different preferences for what they like to eat and how to prepare it.
It's a good thing this awkward individuality doesn't extend to health care decisions, school curriculum, wage-earning potential, etc. or we'd be in a world of hurt. |

His method sucked and I said so early in the thread. Yet he continued to insist it was the only civilized way to fry an egg. I did learn something from the thread, though: trolls like eggs, they just don't know how to cook them. |
