Scrambled eggs the way most restaurants and people make them are gross. amirite?

Whenever I get them they are usually completely dry. I hate that.

Yeah I was about to hard agree when I had to make the fastest mental u turn upon reading their explanation. Most places serve gross scrambled eggs bc they overcook them, are dry af, and/or are basically chopped omelet

Yep. This person would love the scrambled eggs at my dining hall that everybody either leaves alone or suffers through with condiments

Bro at no point should the word "brown" enter the equation when we're talking about scrambled eggs 😂😂

by Anonymous 18 hours ago

Also the kind of overcooking that would lead to browning is also what leads to rubbery eggs. Op has no idea what they're talking about.

My eggs are fluffy not rubbery or liquidy. People don't make fluffy eggs right. I do it by leaving it on the burner taking it off to scramble and putting it back on and this makes it perfect.

I add a bit of water, puffs them up and prevents browning. Eggs are easy once the concept of "less heat more butter" is grasped

by satterfieldmorg 17 hours ago

This isn't true, if you overcook eggs to the point they can be cut into cubes, there is this weird gross watery residue.

They probably just like rubbery eggs. I know I do. Creamy eggs are nasty.

I would love to get a creamy scramble at a restaurant instead of a rubbery pile of yuck.

Not if you cook them on high lol.

I mean that's why it's common knowledge to avoid cooking eggs on high heat - they don't take long even on low heat lol

It's for people (like me) who don't like egg. Have to cook all the egginess out of the egg. Not that I eat any scrambled egg, no thank you

Sometimes if they're overcooked they come out brown, but those are I assume burn marks that happens in all food

Brown is good, but the brown needs to come from browning the butter before the eggs get near the pan.

by Anonymous 13 hours ago

It's a thing.. technically not correct but a thing. I like mine the way op does too, except I do add cream. If I order them out I ask for them to be 'well done'. Usually they come with little bits of brown and if not at least not wet. This can also be easier to digest for some people as the Browning breaks protein down a little extra. I do realize I'm the weirdo here but yeah it's a thing.

Brown from slightly browned butter can be good but I agree you don't fry eggs to the point of browning them themselves.

by Beginning_Mess 13 hours ago

Uh, says you. I brown the butter in the pan first, and then cook the eggs in browned butter.

My wife likes them that way too. I think they are an abomination, but I love her so I burn them up just the way she likes em...

I've never tried it but it does not appeal to me visually. Way too runny. I'm not agreeing with OP however, I like my scrambled eggs a little underdone.

Same! I used to loathe scrambled eggs growing up until I learned they don't have to be dry, crumbly, brown nasty. Now that I make them right, I adore eggs.

There is no technically correct. The only correct is your own preference.

Agreed, I want to be able to eat it out of a bowl with my hands. It's not dry at all if you do it right, it's just not wet. It's soft but firm, moist and delicious

Agreed. The way Gordon Ramsay "cooks" scrambled eggs appalls me. Take that lukewarm French egg soup and piss off to Paris, Gordon

They're perfect and I've never once had them cooked that way in a restaurant, they're overdone always, so I order over easy and only eat scrambled at home.

by EmbarrassedButton 8 hours ago

You guys just like eggs to be cooked diner style omelettes lol aka hard scrambled. French omelettes have a velvety texture that I adore but they're never "wet, runny, or liquidy" so I'm wondering if you guys have actually had proper scrambled eggs before?

by Itchy_Nature 8 hours ago

Most people don't want to choke down some dry-ass scrambled eggs, so I guess this is unpopular.

by Scared-Fold5961 8 hours ago

I've never seen scramble eggs cooked liquidy. I'm sure it happens but I doubt your assertion that most restaurants and people make them that way

by Anonymous 8 hours ago

I'm realizing I like my eggs burnt and I've never seen eggs the color of mine when they're done cooking in anyones restaurant or household. The "liquidy" I'm referring to is literally the egg being… moist. It's just my warped perception I suppose.

I started making mine the way Gordon Ramsey shows on the episode of Hot Ones. It is so much better than how I used to do it. Although I cook them slightly more than he does in that clip.

by ComfortableJump8963 7 hours ago

"It's supposed to be the most cooked type of egg dish." No, I think hard boiled or an Omelette would be cooked longer than scrambled eggs.

by One-Tie 7 hours ago

You need to get out of denial and accept that you hate eggs. You hate all the properties that make eggs good. You have found a way to remove most of the egg's assets and convert it into almost an edible styrofoam so that you're able to choke it down, but you really just don't like them. That's okay.

BROWN?

by EmbarrassedButton 6 hours ago

No, just please no! There should be no brown in scrambled eggs. They should be a beautiful yellow, light and fluffy and definitely not dry! That's the same with a good omelette.

by Anonymous 6 hours ago

If there's "a small tinge of brown," you've burnt your scrambled eggs slightly. Know how that is? They'll taste dry. Scrambled eggs are supposed to be fluffy and a bit moist. In my experience, most restaurants make scrambled eggs horribly because people cook them too long. But to each there own, I guess.

First using oil makes them terrible. Eggs should only be cooked in butter on medium heat. Lots of butter. Restaurants use liquid eggs in oil and it's gross. Don't get me started on poached and over easy eggs having runny whites. A waitress once argued that the whites are supposed to be runny. Literally the whites should never be runny in any egg style except sunny side up. Otherwise you don't know how to cook eggs.

As a graduate from the Culinary Institute of America, and a 20+ year veteran in fine dining, I can attest that scrambled eggs should never be "browned" at all. In fact, most people overcook scrambled eggs. If you like them overcooked, that's fine. But people aren't cooking them wrong. You are eating them wrong.

Tbh I prefer them more done. Not like rubber but just, not sloppy. I can eat eggs if I don't think about them too much, as soon as I over think it the texture hits me and I instantly feel nauseous, then I can't eat any more of them. Situational repulsion. I can't overcome my repulsion to the texture if they're sloppy.

Scrambled eggs should be creamy. Cooked any more than that is like eating pencil erasers
