Thanks for the very good advice! But why be so harsh on the “feminist movement”? This was also the movement that got women thinking more about what goes into their bodies — like cancer-causing teflon.

It also keeps the eggs from absorbing all the butter (or oil).

Oh, smart idea! Another egg trick: remember that ‘done in the pan’ means ‘overdone on the plate.’ (I think this line came from Alton Brown.) Your scrambled eggs should look just a tiny bit ‘wet’ (but opaque–no clear whites) when you take the pan off the stove. They will finish cooking in a few seconds on your plate…and you’ll have the creamiest eggs ever.

You know what – add me to the list that didn’t know this – I have been cooking for ummmm way too many years. I do use teflon but would rather not.

So I am going to give this a try – thank you so much for being brave enough to post something you thought everyone already knew

Great tip, I don’t use teflon either and did have a problem with my eggs. I wasn’t getting the pan hot before the butter.
Thanks for sharing.
