How to Cook Eggs Over Easy (Without Breaking the Yolk)

[@timothybrown2935]

i’ve never thought about using the oil to baste them. brilliant. thanks so much friend

[@TheFlatCapChef]

You are very welcome 👍

[@markme4]

I cover my pan with the lid so the top of the egg gets more heat and it cooks nicely, add a tablespoon of water to steam the top works well also.

[@ah.5187]

this was the first video i saw for how to flip and egg and i did it and i made my first over easy egg without the egg yoke breaking, thank u :))

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Perfect eggs from now on, happy days 👍👍👌

[@larrywas6241]

Thanks for the great tip! Easiest way to cook an egg over easy! I how enjoy my eggs the way I like!

[@TheFlatCapChef]

You are v welcome 👍

[@KenPotter]

I’m 56, Professional Engineer, and I have never been able to cook an over easy egg. 4/5 yolks break when I crack the egg. The others break when I flip them.

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Check out my how to crack an egg without breaking the yolk video too ….good luck 👍🙏

[@milkshakemuncher]

I'll give this a go. I usually use a circular metal egg ring so my fried eggs come out perfectly round and I rarely ever break a yolk when flipping to cook both sides, but I quite like the look of the egg you cooked for demonstration. Your egg cooked much quicker than mine do, this is because when using an egg ring the eggs come out approximately 1/2 inch, or 12mm thick for the white part, where as not using an egg ring means the egg spreads out wider and the thickness is greatly reduced. Thank you for teaching me this way, much appreciated. I have now subscribed to your channel 😎

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Delighted you found this helpful and welcome 👍

[@steven5548]

Just did this without the oil on top but the spoon changed the way I flipped the egg and it didn’t go everywhere thank you so much. Eventually I’ll get good enough to do it without the spoon

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Whatever works for you, happy to be a small help, good luck and remember practice makes perfect 👍

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Thank you so much 😀

[@randyc5650]

Basted! That's how my mom cooked them for me many years ago.

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Your mom was right 👍👍

[@milkshakemuncher]

My mum's dead so she can't cook them for me anymore

[@westleyduncan1379]

i guess it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to stream new movies online?

[@snorkyfroggy1283]

What spot of the the burners should you put it?

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Centre and mid to high heat 👍

[@crystalrainbow19]

Nice hack! Definitely guarantees no broken yolk. Thanks.

[@TheFlatCapChef]

You’re very welcome 👍

[@SuperLittleTyke]

But you do need a fair bit of oil in the pan.

[@aaj1016]

Instead of breaking the yolk, I broke the whole egg

[@TheFlatCapChef]

😂

[@SquatchWatcher]

Seriously? You cook eggs in vegetable oil & then dump vegetable oils on top ??? 😂 - Why not just order something from McDonald's if your trying to kill whomever your cooking for with vegetable oils 😂

[@opinionated4219]

My mother did that 70 years ago! Why doesn't everyone know how to do it by now?

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Good question but appears they don’t, but now they do 👍

[@briantigerdaugherty]

I have a pan just like yours and I love it come from Walmart

[@nadeemalvi7728]

how cook egg as keep white as soft but not over cook oil just soft both side

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Keep the heat in the pan down to medium it will take longer but you will have a softer white not crispy 👍

[@nadeemalvi7728]

@@TheFlatCapChef cheers l try usually do just get little burnt oil get criisp just l prefer bot h side done soft will yolk soft runny for toast lol thank

[@Hoo_Dini]

I searched this up my stove and fire is already on and saw that we have the same pan HAHAHAH this is gonna be 100% identical

[@TheFlatCapChef]

😂👍

[@Kaidenfetalino]

my dad complained about my egg is burnt but the sides are just crispy

[@TheFlatCapChef]

@@Kaidenfetalino depends how you like it crispy is my choice that’s not burnt 😂

[@conorlyons2085]

Great video thanks man

[@TheFlatCapChef]

You’re v welcome 👍

[@djr0975]

How much oil did you use

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Depends a little on the size of your pan, smaller pan less oil, but as a guide about 150/200ml and don’t forget you can store it in a jar or bottle and then reuse it too 👍

[@farlonmuentes6004]

i just realized i don't know how to cook sunny side. i can do scrambles easily and done it hundreds of times but when i tried this, i always break the yolk like i dont know how to cook at all

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Check out my video on how to crack an egg without breaking the yolk 😂👍

[@sharkbite9389]

That’s actually genius

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Thanks sometimes you just have to think about something differently 😀

[@Athabina]

to cook the top of the egg I put a third of a cup of very hot water into the pan and place a lid on top to steam it

[@hesleyt]

Use a plastic spoon to avoid scratching your pan.

[@TheFlatCapChef]

You just need to be careful with the metal spoon, most people don’t have heat resistant plastic spoons including me 😉

[@cosmicbro1973]

Plastic spoon will melt and leak carcinogens all over your food. Definitely always use a metal spoon. Just be careful and dont scrape it

[@hesleyt]

@@cosmicbro1973 you need to update your information. You are talking at least 35 years ago.

[@cosmicbro1973]

@@hesleyt Dioxins are created when Plastics are melted. Using a plastic spoon for a frying pan could easily melt it even a little bit you might not notice.

[@hesleyt]

@@cosmicbro1973 That is why I'm telling you your information about plastic spoons is pretty outdated. They don't melt anymore and are made of silicone, which is free of carcinogenic components.

[@jarvellwilson6721]

That’s how we always do it🏈

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Perfect 👍

[@MistyDW41]

What kind of oil do you use for your eggs?

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Vegetable or sunflower oil is best but you can use olive oil if your feeling rich ! Don’t use too much whichever you choose. Happy cooking 👍

[@bostock9255]

Ahhh the old school method, plenty hot oil splashing over the egg. My mum and nans method

[@TheFlatCapChef]

It’s a winner 👍👌

[@TxrrorYt.]

Thank u 🙏

[@TheFlatCapChef]

You are v welcome 👍

[@glenncrosby8793]

Dude you use a metal spoon on a non--stick pan!

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Yep not a problem you don’t scrape the pan just be careful👍

[@judithparrales5984]

Donde freak it Will be ok

[@Freyii]

So much oil. That poor egg is drowning. Why so much for one egg?!

[@TheFlatCapChef]

Hi you need enough to be able to baste the egg 👍

[@harshharsh4897]

@@TheFlatCapChef good job for replying proffesionally

[@mohammedkhan6039]

A most original way of incinerating an egg. Obviously, he’s not quite done with it yet as the egg continues to cook…..!

[@TheFlatCapChef]

We all have our preference I like a crispy base to the egg, if you like it soft take it our earlier 👌

[@TheFlatCapChef]

For me a crispy base to the egg really makes it, but of course each to their own 👍

[@lilianajankovic6426]

Caver the eggs it will cook the top

[@TheFlatCapChef]

You can do that Liliana but it takes longer and most frying pans don’t come with a lid 👍

[@arnoldthompson481]

Too hot. Egg white burnt

[@TheFlatCapChef]

For me a crispy base is the best egg but personal choice as ever and you like a softer white base 👍

Respectfully, that is ridiculous way to cook an over easy egg. (I say respectfully because you are British, and I learned to make 'Eggs in a Basket' from V FOR VENDETTA 🙂) "Just FLIP IT!" That is the way an over-easy egg it is meant to be done. Peace to All

[@TheFlatCapChef]

😂 I agree it is a bit of a Brit hack but less damaged eggs for the amateur…if you’ve been flipping your whole life I am sure they are perfect every time 👍

[@JackWareingFilms]

@@TheFlatCapChef No not perfect. maybe 90%.....if I'm not drunk. 🙂 peace

[@1wheeldrive751]

Cooking temperature here is too high. Eggs should not be browned around the edges of the white. Cooking at these high temperatures makes the white (albumen) tough and rubbery. Lower temps allow the white to cook more slowly and evenly. This is a hash-house egg, not a properly cooked egg.

[@TheFlatCapChef]

@@1wheeldrive751 all depends how you like them cooked low and slow is of course an option as you describe just not the way I prefer them don’t recognise your tough and rubbery description 👍

[@1wheeldrive751]

@ - really? You must be an Army cook.

[@1wheeldrive751]

@ - try it yourself. Cook one egg fast and hot and cook the next one at lower heat, slower to the same “doneness”. Then compare by eating. The albumen (white) of the fast cooked egg is considerably more rubbery.
