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.

by Anonymous 8 months ago

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

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

by Anonymous 8 months 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.

by Fay40 8 months ago

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.

by Anonymous 8 months ago

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 8 months 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.

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

by Anonymous 8 months 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.

by Anonymous 8 months ago

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 8 months ago

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

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 months 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 months ago

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

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 months 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.

"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 8 months 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.

by West-Comedian9836 8 months ago

BROWN?

by EmbarrassedButton 8 months 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 8 months 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

by Used-Green 8 months ago

Just to throw my 2 cents in - scrambled eggs should be soft and airy with big fluffy curds, but not runny. Its a fine line. Reaching the point of being brown though - you've just gone to far. Proper stirring and turning will eliminate the runny long before they brown.

by Anonymous 8 months ago

Okay, they're not supposed to be brown so get that out of your head. But also, many restaurants use premixed eggs, the stuff you pour out of a carton, to make scrambled eggs. Those have a very different texture.

Hey op, next time ask for shelled eggs. Typically restaurants use liquid eggs that often has extra water or other ingredients that make it last long on the shelf. Trust me. Your life will change if you love eggs like me.

by Anonymous 8 months ago

Yep, what you actually like is an omelette and not scrambled eggs.

by Smithamloyce 8 months ago

I think that they are best done by cracking the eggs into a bowl, adding your seasoning (I like salt, pepper, and paprika), scrambling them by lightly beating them, then adding just a little bit of water. The water steams when they cook and makes them a lot fluffier. But I agree - they should be cooked to well done, and a little bit of browning helps a bit because of all the Maillard reactions that goes on. Milk can be used instead of water, but it makes the eggs a lot sweeter because of all the lactose in the milk. Cream... I can't imagine using cream, because we're wanting scrambled eggs, not custard. If you want custard, great! Make custard!

by Anonymous 8 months ago

Brown???? If that's not shell, I don't know what you're cooking. 🤢 FTR, eggs beaten until aerated. Salt and pepper. Butter. Medium flame. Push the spatula to the middle, making ruffles. Fluffy and slightly wet (I prefer mine softer). If not, cook until fully dry. It's all you need.
