How To Cook The Perfect Egg In A Cast Iron Pan

[@mitchellwalther]

Bro. Cast iron skillet. Medium heat. Butter the pan. Crack egg and then pour a small amount if water on it then cover for a few minutes. Perfect over easy egg. Salt obviously. Perfection

[@vic_sosa2327]

I always wondered how you cook an egg fully without flipping it lol learn something new everyday

[@sarhan_]

Yeah I use tht method too, works great. Don’t forget the freshly cracked pepper at the end!

[@hennesy4957]

dont even need water just cover any pan while cooking low heat and it’ll be gucci

[@sarhan_]

@@hennesy4957 well if you use grade AA eggs that are thick and viscous that are not watery then u may need to add a little water. If you use lower grade eggs tht tend to be more watery then you don’t need to add any water

I cook eggs pretty much the exact same way. I also found that butter works the best to prevent sticking.

[@TylerBird200]

Forget all the so called rules with cast iron. Dry it quick after you wash it and oil it and keep using it.

[@Longliveduhhkiid]

1 thing I could never get into my whole life is eating a runny yolk egg by itself. Lol for some reason if I’m eating just eggs they gotta be scrambled or fried and if I had other stuff like toast or rise or meat the I eat them runny lol idk

[@treebles]

same, weird to find fam!

[@Adultguj]

runny yolk with some salt sprinkled on there is liquid gold, my friend.

[@joshharries3982]

No I get it, not everyone likes flavorful snot

[@Sk8forsocks]

i cant eat the runny whites it looks like snot, but im totally fine with yolk lol

[@JeraldGardnerGergich]

Bro, nice! And you don't even have to rinse, just wipe it out with a clean rag and put it away. 😃

[@AllDayFinesse]

You doing it wrong if ya eggs are sticking. All I cook in is a big ass cast iron skillet frfr😂 Take a smidge of butter/ghee on a MEDIUM LOW HEAT! Medium low is very important because if the pan is to hot it will cook too fast and yes the egg will stick.

[@benjitkoshorts9577]

Naw the more ragged the pan is, the better the food going to be you trippin

[@StUcKoNlEvEL1]

Don't put water get a few napkins in let it cool just wipe it out an throw a lip oil in the pan an wipe it down

[@reneecurtis3676]

Thanks for the tip! I've never shaped my eggs before. I love cast iron

[@penokoh9494]

I do the same honestly, start out low and letting it do it's thing. I hardly ever flip it, I just enjoy it sunny side up. Flipping it just cooks more of the yellow which I don't want. The only time I eat it all cooked it if I do mashed eggs and even then I do it quite runny.

[@penokoh9494]

@A R Hence why I do sunny side up cause I don't want my eggs crispy. I want them cooked slowly while keeping it runny.

[@djC653]

I like your egg shaping tutorial, lol. Another thing I do, cook breakfast for 15yrs-job, is take a toothpick and you can go in through the whites to pop the yolk and if done right the yolk will spill into the whites and not flow out of the egg. So with your egg-shaping and this yolk poppin' you can get a nice "over-hard" egg for sandwiches.

[@djC653]

I wash with soap every time I use mine just like any other dish. But yeah dry with towel then with heat to make sure it's dry.

[@Shirvani28]

I like dat crispy fried egg. Done in 30 secs.

[@aurousity4968]

[@barbaraadkins8254]

NOOO!!!Don't wash it wipe it out with a cloth or paper towel that way you keep seasoning it

[@RavenousFallen]

Appreciation for cast iron is a mark of maturity... you've gone through years of trashy non-stick products but finally found a product that'll last a life time. Also cast iron can infuse a little extra iron in your diet so it's healthy opposed to toxic chemicals in teflon. Carbon steel is likely best for quick cookers though, people who wake up and got only a little time to prepare breakfast and don't care if it's a little burnt. Cast iron is for people who have a spare 10-15 minutes for cooking.

Bro, you already know the deal when you went for the Cholula sauce, now it's a true Perfect Egg!! Next time do some Egg Chilaquiles please!! lol Thanks

[@averagecarguy420]

Here’s my technique: smoking hot pan with oil, crack egg, immediately cover for 1 min, remove,salt and pepper. Gets the bottom nice and tenderly crisp, not too hard to chew or anything, and cooks all the whites of the egg, while leaving the yolk runny. You know it’s done when the whites over the yolk film over and turn white

[@sarhan_]

Yes exactly what I do too. Sometimes I may add few drops of water if I get high quality grade AA eggs that are viscous and aren’t watery at all.

[@jollygoodgordon5580]

Very helpful. I struggled with the cast iron for years. Folks say it's easy to take care of but I don't have such success and I'm pretty good in the kitchen. In any case, seasoned or not, it's a great pan to fry chicken or fish in. So I never throw mines away.

[@hammadmaqsood9664]

I either saw it in a video or from a comment that butter works best. So I tried and it really did help. Butter just coats the pan evenly and gets into the tiny cracks and doesn't slide around and bunch up as much as oil. Since then I've use it on my non-stick too.

[@zoomin131]

Seasoning a pan is so easy. Rub it with a high smoke point oil and just cook it!

[@dankmemes7729]

does chili oil work?

[@food4444lyfe]

I like my 🍳🍳🍳 with a crispy edge... 😅

[@Foodie_888]

If the cast iron skillet is seasoned well and correctly, the egg should not stick even without butter or oil.

It takes a long time to smooth out. If it rusts, use a little sandpaper to remove the rust and then season it again.

Hit that thing high heat, put the butter on then immediately add the egg. The egg will be shaking and bubbling from the heat. That's okay, just pull it before it burns. 1 minute sunny side up egg. Source: cooked 100s of eggs in a restaurant lol

Lodge is the lowest quality cast iron you can buy as it has far too much porosity, and it's extremely hard to to season for that reason.

To season a cast iron like when you made the egg with butter you pour out the excess butter an than wipe it with a paper towel than you bake the pan.. don't rinse it its just letting all the season come right back off again
