Scrambled eggs frying pan or sauce pan?

[bumburlinga]

Don’t say microwave.

I go for frying pan. Loads of butter, low heat, gentle stirring, stop when still a tiny bit runny and they solidify to quivery deliciousness the time you’ve plated up.

DH, on the other hand, chooses a saucepan. I think he has the heat too high or it’s that there’s less surface area so there’s uneven cooking and they’re just not as good.

He swears he’s right and that “all chefs” use a saucepan.

So who IBU?

Non stick frying pan, very lightly beaten egg, strained. Melt large knob of butter, gently move eggs around over a low heat, season. Done.

I use a frying pan but the smallest one I have, 20cm. Same method as you

Have never made scrambled eggs in a frying pan. Might give it a try! Usually a saucepan or microwave. However, more important (to me) than the means of cooking, is making sure all the horrid stringy bits and red flecks are removed before whisking!

My DH makes them like this. I HATE the consistency.

Melt butter in a frying pan, teaspoon of milk per egg, add very well seasoned fork whisked eggs and don't, for the love of all that is holy, stir continuously!

Whatever is cleanest and nearest but I prefer them from a saucepan.

Saucepan. Butter and eggs, dollop of creme fraiche at the end after removing from heat.

Personally, saucepan. But I'm open-minded enough to consider there may be other, possibly better, ways.

Was always told never to add milk, just butter and use a saucepan. They are meant to be wet and buttery, not firm.

Frying pan, did not know people cooked them in a saucepan until now. Not sure what difference it makes but not willing to take the risk.

Saucepan, low heat, stir constantly. Take off heat before fully cooked and leave as the residual heat continues cooking the eggs.

I don’t eat scrambled eggs. I don’t even cook them. No one in this house eats them and yet I still say frying pan

Saucepan, butter, no milk, salt and freshly ground black pepper, thoroughly whisked using a conical spring whisk, cooked quickly with non-stop stirring.

DP thought he made fantastic scrambled eggs, but had to concede mine were even better.

Frying pan, just beaten eggs, black pepper and cook in olive oil.

Your way is 100% correct

my mum makes them your DHs way and I honestly hated scrambled eggs until I became an adult and learnt how to make them properly for myself

I'm not fussed and would use whichever came to hand first. I draw the line at microwaving them though. Yuk.

Very interesting 🤔. I would not even think to use a sauce pan, I mean it is used for making...sauces. So frying pan for me every time.

Heathen!

Saucepan because that's how Delia does them. Saw one of her shows as a young teen and have made them the same ever since. Never let me down!

And I cook them fast, 30 seconds ish. I prefer them this way, don't like soggy eggs like you get in cafes etc

I have never cooked anything in microwave, btw, just warm up my dinner.

Or is the easiest to clean afterwards! I have a wok/frying pan, ie a fairly deep frying pan that's wok shaped, which I use for absolutely everything, even omelettes which I sometimes toss if the top's still a bit runny!

Frying pan, of course. The dedicated, seasoned, only-for-eggs frying pan.
