1, choose the right pot. The pan for frying eggs is preferably a heavy iron pan. [ 1]

2. Add butter, lard/bacon fat or oil to the frying pan. Oil needs to completely cover the bottom of the pan-this is the secret of making fried eggs properly. Bacon fat is thought to make fried eggs with unique taste.

3. Heat the oil until the water hisses when it enters. One trick to ensure a perfect fried egg is to cook the egg white and ensure that the egg edge is cooked. To do this, you need to add water first and then eggs, and each egg needs 0.5 spoon of water. [1] If the water hisses and evaporates immediately in the pot, then the eggs can be put in at this temperature. Remember to put the eggs in the right place. Don't wait too long before you put in the eggs. If the oil pan is too hot and the protein is not cooked, the edge of the egg will be burnt directly.

4. Gently break the eggs and divide them into two halves. When breaking, put the eggs on the frying pan and gently put them in the oil. Immediately reduce the temperature and continue to finish the following cooking process with low fire. If you have trouble knocking on an egg and can't open it, break it in a bowl, then check if there are any eggshell fragments, and pour an egg into the frying pan again.

5. Do the same thing for other eggs, and make sure that they are far enough apart so that protein won't touch each other. After practice, you can leave the yolk in the middle of the protein. You can also use egg rings instead, which can help keep the eggs intact and separate from each other. Or, you can deliberately mix protein together and slice them with a spatula or knife after cooking. Alternatively, use a spatula or spoon to separate the protein from the yolk. This helps protein to become a thin layer and can be cooked more thoroughly.

6. Coat the eggs with butter or oil to add flavor. Although this is an optional step, it adds flavor and taste to fried eggs on one side! Adding salt and pepper at this stage is the chef Michael? From Romano. [2] However, other chefs also have objections. After adding salt in the cooking process, eggs will lose water and become like rubber. [3] Salt can also make eggs fried unevenly. [4] Whether to put salt when frying or after frying, you need to try it yourself to know which is more suitable.

7. Consider putting the lid on. Covering can speed up the cooking process, but care must be taken to avoid overcooking the yolk. If the lid is covered, the top of the egg white (including the layer above the yolk) will slowly turn white and harden, and it will not maintain a clear and smooth appearance. This is more similar to the kind of eggs fried on both sides. If you cover the pot with a lid, pay attention to the time and check it every three minutes. Cans with transparent lids are easy to observe. You can also pour about a tablespoon of water into the pot before covering the lid. Steam can help the top of the egg cook better. One secret of the perfect sunny-side fried egg is to wait for the edge of the egg and the egg to be thoroughly cooked, and then add 1/2 teaspoons of water to each egg. [ 1]

8. Fry the eggs until the egg whites and yolks are cooked to the extent you need. Usually this means that the protein is hard and the yolk is thick but not hard. But ... whether you like flowing egg yolk or solid egg yolk, it is purely personal preference. You can check the texture of the yolk by gently shaking the jar and observing how the egg shakes. With the accumulation of experience, you will know how long it will take to meet your needs. Another method is to cover the pan and fry for one minute, then remove the pan from the fire (still covered), and then wait for the egg white around the yolk to turn opaque (usually 3-5 minutes). [4] In order to kill any bacteria that may exist, eggs need to reach a temperature of140 F (60 C). At this temperature, the protein will completely harden, and the yolk has begun to thicken, although the central part may still be flowing. [5] If the eggs do not reach this temperature, there is a risk of food poisoning (please refer to the warning section). & lt/p & gt；

9. Move away from the fire. Scrape under each egg with a spatula, and gently put the fried eggs on a plate to eat. This is a good way to serve food on a hot plate, which helps to keep the eggs warm.

10, eat right away. These eggs need to be taken from the pan to the plate as soon as they are fried. Prepare other foods in advance, such as beans, bread, cooked tomatoes, sausages, bacon, etc. Some suggestions include: propose a toast; Putting an egg on a piece of bread can keep an intact yolk. Canned rice, oats and beef. Your favorite sauce. You can add more butter or oil and put it on the eggs with a spoon.

skill

Try adding some salt to taste, or you can add some fruit to eat. Let the eggs reach room temperature before cooking. This can reduce cooking time and keep a good shape. Another way of frying eggs is "fried on both sides". This means turning an egg upside down and frying it on both sides. Don't heat eggs in the microwave oven. This will enlarge the egg. Eat immediately after frying, or make the remaining slices into a casserole (be sure to refrigerate the leftovers immediately). If you can't keep the yolk intact, you can try adding the egg white first and then the yolk.

warn

One in 20,000 eggs will contain Salmonella, which will cause a healthy adult to suffer from diseases similar to acute gastroenteritis. [5] For children, the elderly or people with impaired immune system, the symptoms may be more serious.

You need to prepare

Heavy wok, timing plate with cover (this is optional, but it is a good method) Cook eggs with spatula.
