I can never get the egg layer off without hours of soaking and scrubbing. Am I missing something?

Use a non-stick frying pan instead

You need a stainless steel ot copper scourer.

Leave it for a few hours and you can just peel it off...

wondering if I should've changed my name for that.

soak it in hot water drop of washing up liquid and spalsh of vinegar. leave it while you eat and it should come off easily enough, still might need a scourer but it will only take a couple of minutes

I used to make my scrambled egg in a stainless steel saucepan and had to leave it to soak for hours then scrub like hell to get it off UNTIL my sister came round and saw what I was doing and recommended I use a non stick frying pan instead.

It was a revelation!!!

I microwave ours in a glass bowl. Soaking with washing powder (as normally used for clothes) is good

Brilliant - have used a stainless steel scourer - now just have to get the egg of the scourer!

I do have a non-stick frying pan! It's huge - possibly too huge for one egg's worth .

scrambled egg sticks to non-stick as well. How do you stop the scourer being full of eggy bits that never ever ever come off?

Put a spoon of soda crystals and hot water in leave on the side for a while, I don't even have to use a scourer then.
