Secret to Flipping Eggs

The rolling motion of an ocean wave is akin to flipping an egg.
Additional Recommendations:
"Egg Whites should always be fully set, never runny,"
"Always, take into consideration residual heat and carry over cooking. The egg will continue to cook long after you've turned off the stove and plated the dish."
On Fried Egg Doneness:
Over easy eggs (aka, over light): no browning on egg whites / runny yolk
Over medium eggs: browning egg whites / runny yolk
Over medium/well eggs: browning egg whites / jelly consistency yolk
Over hard: eggs should have browning egg whites / fully set egg yolk

[@DivergentDroid]

To help the egg white cook more evenly, try this before flipping. Cut slits in the egg white close to the yolk and spread it a little and allow the runny egg white to fill in the hole you just created. My mom's been doing that for 80 years.

[@roalik4270]

There must have been at least one or two times in my ENTIRE life that I only cooked ONE egg (when there was only one left). If you can show me how to do that with three eggs, then I'm saving this vid to my favorites.

[@notfake8161]

i'd argue that it's easier with two eggs, just crack them so that the whites fuse together and form pretty much a big two yolked egg and do the exact same thing as the video from there

[@dylangoodwin5226]

Its easier with 3 personally, but pretty hard with four. I make eggs for work and this is how we flip, only did four twice and had to restart both times but do three daily

[@roalik4270]

@@dylangoodwin5226 I would gladly allow you to cook my eggs EVERY day. I'll supply the frying pan if you bring the eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, toast, butter, maybe some orange juice and occasionally orange marmalade or blackberry jam for the toast. Bagels and cream cheese would be a nice change of pace at times. When can you start?

[@GH-oi2jf]

With three eggs, use an 8” pan. Use a 7” pan for two eggs. You want the whites to merge so that, when set, the eggs can be flipped as one..

[@roalik4270]

@@GH-oi2jf Back in the old days, mom didn't flip; she cooked them in a puddle of bacon grease and flipped grease onto the eggs to cook the top of the eggs. The good ol' days when bacon grease ruled the kitchen!

[@m.gramlich239]

I don't bother flipping eggs anymore. My hubby likes his yolks soft so he can dip his toast but wants the whites solid. I never knew this method of cooking eggs existed until I got a job working in a cafe. The cook showed me how to make what's called a BASTED egg. She put the eggs on the greased grill and then shot a little water on the grill next to them to create steam and put a lid over the eggs. I do this at home with my non-stick pan. I put a little bit of butter in a small pan, add 4 eggs, and then a little water (1 TBS. or so) and then put a lid on the pan. As the eggs cook the water creates steam and that will cook the tops of the eggs whites. It's so much easier to do than trying to flip an egg.

[@jeremyharris8475]

My first day at WH a waitress gave me a pan and a piece of bread and said go practice. I only worked for them for a couple of years but that was all the instruction I got on the subject of flipping eggs, and I literally flipped thousands. P.S. Flipping 1 egg is nothing compared to 3 egg omelettes.

[@hm3426]

This is a very nice fried egg. Not burned or discolored or burned edges. I say is a perfect fried egg.

[@monshes]

Cute video. A couple of observations from someone who’s been doing this for decades. Use a round bottom pan without an edge. Nonstick or stainless steel won’t really matter. Use plenty of butter, the eggs should be swimming in it. you want a little bit of air when you flip it if you just roll it at the edge of the pan your risk curling it. Correct if you go too High it splats but too low you get a folded egg. You shouldn’t need a spatula and you should never clean the pan with anything but a paper towel.

[@jamesryan6224]

Roll it over, as opposed to "Flipping". I use a lot of oil or butter, then after plating blot off the excess.

[@TheMrChaddles]

Good tips, especially with waiting to season til after the flip.

[@donscott6431]

Good practice on landing the flip: put dried beans in pan instead of eggs. Then flip without bouncing the beans out. This is an extremely useful skill to master when a customer orders 6 over easy eggs. It takes a touch, on the landing

Thank you for Shearing this Trick. Could You please share what Type or Brand of Individual Electric Burner are You USING?. That have shown to You some type of Trust on ; Durability & Consistency in their Perform??

[@dangunn6961]

I use a wide but thin plastic flipper. Rapid short sawing motion to get flipper under part of the egg. Then lift and flip roll it over. Works every time.

[@GH-oi2jf]

It helps to have a properly shaped pan. The one shown has a corner between the side and the bottom. A gentle curve works better. A smaller pan is better as well, because you have better control. If you use a 7” pan, the whites of two eggs will merge, and when they set they can be flipped as one.

[@paulespinoza974]

The secret is in the wrist. I learned the truth of this secret while working in a restaurant in Moriarty, New Mexico on Route 66 in 1965. The breakfast short order cook taught me. The simplicity of the secret is profound. Place a piece of bread in the pan you'll be using and flip the bread in it. Practice it to unlock its secret.

[@josephgaviota]

Interesting advice!

[@williameason1194]

Up the heat a few seconds to reduce friction before you flip the eggs, then back to low heat to finish. The friction from lo temp can tear the egg.

[@jeremyharris8475]

Thanks, Gastromonk. On the subject of omelettes... personally, I prefer light and fluffy. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I like the WH method of aerating your eggs in a mixer before going to the pan. The biggest mistake most people make at that point is adding ingredients like onions or mushrooms or whatever to the eggs in the pan and then flipping the omelette. This is more often than not a disaster. I always liked to flip the omelette then add the ingredients between the folded omelette. You end up with an omelette that looks like the picture on the menu. Of course, by definition you can't do this with a flat grill omelette. To my way of thinking, a flat omelette is just an "unscrambled" scrambled egg.

[@GASTROMONKCOM]

Another, great tip, Jeremy Harris! Light and fluffy is the way it should be.
