The Egg Flipping Hack That Stops Broken Yolks Every Time

[@louniece1650]

Dear lord. Make sure you don't burn the scheiße out of your hands/arms from grease/oil whilst flipping your eggs onto the damned lid. 🙄😂

[@morningatsea]

There's another way - just use a frying pan with a glass lid and let the eggs steam while frying. Quick, easy and perfect eggs that look like the above photo.

[@jasonmonster]

Flipping the pan upside down... with hot oil and/or butter in it? Sounds like a great idea to me 🙄

[@morrismonet3554]

This sliding on the lid is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Anyone too spastic to flip an egg with a spatula is probably going to mess this up too. Better they use the water and cover method.

[@bkm2797]

It's easy to flip two or three eggs, just make sure there is enough butter in the pan, and that the pan is small 6 to 8 inches, shake gently to make sure they are loose and not sticking, then flip like a Chef, easy peezy.

[@BoltTheEmolga]

And instantly destroy all three yolks, thank you it worked like a charm and now I know what not to do.

[@bkm2797]

BoltTheEmolga, No, but maybe you need to practice by starting with one egg, making sure you have a least a tablespoon of butter in a 6 inch pan on med heat, once the White is almost cooked through then check again that the egg is moving easily, raise the pan several inches off the burner and gently flip. Sure you can find a video that helps you study the movement here in KZbin. Personally, I only try and flip two at a time. Don't give up, you can do this!

[@theresahaines2647]

Whether you break the yoke or not, you’re going to break the yoke eventually. Either way, the egg is still edible. 😊

[@coreturkoane5570]

Right exactly

[@kerihopper3719]

It may be edible but not appealing if you like your yolk runny.....plus you can't dip toast in a hard yolk.

[@danwaller5312]

Even easier……place a lid on the pan and the egg will develop the white topm

[@The_Argent]

You can get around all this by using the right pan. With a right fitting lid and a few teaspoons of water...

[@Grymfoot]

Little water in the pan, crank heat, and add a lid. Steams the top. Please don't turn your pan upside down with grease, oil, butter, etc unless you want to burn yourself or make a mess.

[@kerihopper3719]

Steaming won't give your eggs a crispy edge though which is what I love.

[@dmeijler]

Fabulous trick -- although all the eggs shown are all sunny side up. Doh!

[@ShadowLyfe]

I was a cook at IHOP for years. When I first started, they made me flip a piece of bread over and over until I got consistent.

[@Brantendo64]

I exclusively flip it in the air. At least one yolk breaks on impact EVERY. TIME.

[@kenhill3230]

The real secret is don't flip the egg at all. It is personal opinion, but my motto is if you turn it you burn it. Sunny side up all the way without that nasty crust on it.

[@kerihopper3719]

Yuck to slimy whites, though. Love the egg to be covered in white with runny yolk inside.

[@Grayald]

Yeah probably don't do this if you use more oil.

[@techdebt2750]

Using the lid is a dangerous way of doing something that you could otherwise just perfect with a spatula and practice.

[@주명화-w3c]

In my country ppl use special pan to fry eggs only. The pan has its lid and 3,4 round shaped smaller pans inside so that you can place each egg into each round inner pan and close the lid and wait without flipping them all. In a minute or so, you'll get a perfect round well cooked no broken yokes egg fry with its top well cooked.

@@morrismonet3554 I don't know. It's bothered me for years...

[@ryansmiley5495]

Add a teaspoon of water and cover with the lid is the est way

[@theninashow787]

That’s only if you’re a pan is nonstick 😂😂

[@LizardKing0851]

I can not believe you'd even admit you flipped eggs this way...., turn in your spatula and go fold clothes.

[@marilynturcotte5304]

Why flip, just cover the eggs with the lid and add a bit of water. I didn't watch the whole video before making the comment, but why stress making "Easy-Over" Eggs!

[@sRussM]

Yes to the, "watch the grease and burns" comment. If I tried this I would have grease all over the kitchen.😮😂

[@Typical.Anomaly]

Fr, flipping an egg is easy if you have a good egg skillet.

[@morrismonet3554]

Like my 14" cast iron. 👍

[@Typical.Anomaly]

@@morrismonet3554 I love cast iron, but getting an egg to flip (without breaking the yolk) in that angle? I learned how to cook eggs at Village Inn a looooong time ago and I've never tried it any other way since. That little "pocket" in the corner of a teflon egg skillet makes it so easy! My old lady might be pissed in the morning... egg on the walls, on the floor, yada yada... I need to go try this though.

[@morrismonet3554]

@@Typical.Anomaly Not a problem in my 14". I use it like a flat top. LOL

[@user-xj4fl9xh1e]

An easily broken yolk sinply indicates that the wasn't fresh

[@markcollins2666]

It's the other way around. Living in farm country, we get our eggs straight from the chickens, and yolks break all the time. The yolk solidifies as it ages, and that only makes sense.

[@user-xj4fl9xh1e]

@@markcollins2666 nope fresh eggs don't break yolks easily that those been too long on the grocery shelves, eperience and reality don't lie, that is true sense👈☺️
