You've Been Using The Wrong Tool To Flip Eggs, Try This Instead (& Other Egg Mistakes To Stop Doing)

[@MashedFood]

How do you make your eggs?

[@woodstream6137]

Over easy with a ban on non stick pans in the kitchen

[@chasdart7298]

I most certainly DO NOT flip them, but the I live in a country with safe eggs!

[@chucktaylor4958]

I fry eggs in a carbon steel pan, using plenty of oil. To flip the egg, I have a stainless steel spatula with a beveled leading edge. It works without fail, fried egg, after fried egg. Preheating is important.

[@Lam-he6mj]

SS works great for me. I simply learned how to use it.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

What?!?!?!? Really!?!?!?!?! The more eggs I cook, the bigger the pan needed?!?!?!?! Gosh...thanks for that bit of genius info.

[@digitaldolf]

I was thinking the same. If people do not realise that themselves, and need a video to tell them that, I fear for humankind.

[@paulhughes3961]

I've used cast iron and stainlees steel pans for years, and I can flip eggs just as easy as you can in that unhealthy non stick pan. And as far as SS pans go eggs wont stick as long as you use an adequite amount of oil or butter and allow the egg set before you flip it won't stick.

[@Freedom_Half_Off]

Absolutely ... anything labeled "nonstick" is not going in my house ... let alone on my stove .

[@samuelhowie4543]

I use SS and actually have one that's almost as nonstick as cast iron and is the perfect size for two or three eggs. Plus I learned how to frip them using the skillets sloped side years ago.

[@scottbowen9598]

@@Freedom_Half_Offthe trick with SS is having a hot pan with hot oil.

[@kermitzforg]

We ditched non stick long ago they deposit chemicals in your body no matter the coating, cast iron meanwhile is just as non stick if seasoned properly and are invincible. Also cast iron lends beneficial iron to your body!

[@samuelgates5935]

I've been using forks and spoons to flip my eggs at home. I made my own nonstick pan by heating it for 10 minutes, then adding cold oil! Works EVERYTIME!

[@patrice5913]

I will now try it!!!!

[@chrisdavis5718]

Heard years ago: hot pan, cold oil, food won't stick. This came from The Frugal Gourmet roughly 40 years ago.

Cast iron skillet is the best for frying eggs. And the best oit for frying eggs is bacon grease.

[@kathycuster1714]

Exactly! I use bacon grease for frying potatoes too!

[@papajeff5486]

SHEESH, I didn’t know a fried egg was so complicated…from now on…more respect.

[@paulespinoza974]

When I was 22, I worked in a restaurant off US 66 in New Mexico about 55 miles east of Albuquerque. The breakfast cook taught me how cook eggs. He said to first learn for muscle memory first by flipping a piece of bread... after about 15 days later, I was flipping 2 eggs easily on 6 or 8 inch pans.

[@johnmull3840]

Bacon grease in cast iron 😋😋

[@jmrocks49]

I learned a genius way of flipping eggs a couple of weeks ago. When ready to turn, slide the egg into a pot cover and then flip the top over into the pan.

[@lindaevans6461]

I use cast iron and never flip but basted.😊

[@StanQuick-mb2is]

Why ruin eggs by flipping? Add a small bit of water and put a lid on briefly. Perfect!

[@dsigetich]

Hey - don’t throw shade at stainless steel for eggs. I often use my 6” SS skillet for an egg. I learned how to use SS; my egg skates around the pan nicely - no sticking. It takes a little learning, eh?

[@gicacoca5107]

The part that shows how to use the cover is the best!

[@EddieSpicer-rc4ei]

I use Egg Rings, putting them in the Cast Pan at the same time as I put the pan on to heat up with some Butter in each ring. This makes flipping so easy.

[@tahoemike5828]

The only time I've seen anyone in a breakfast place flip with any spatula type tool, is if they are cooking on a flat top. That is its own art.

[@samuelhowie4543]

I did it for years. Always said it's the hardest way to learn but the easiest to do once you do learn how to cook on a flat top.

[@MrMopar413]

One trick I use in cracking my eggs is first take them out of the refrigerator then place them in a bowl of warm water about lukewarm let them sit as your getting everything else ready just a few minutes. The water will soften the shell and they crack open vary easy every time.

[@Anna-ss4sf]

I like the lid idea

[@krisfrederick5001]

College life hack: Stir an egg into a coffee cup for one minute in the microwave while toasting your English muffin and throw a slice of cheese on it. You are out the door with breakfast on time for class. Try it, I promise.

[@gvbbn-d7j]

Butter in cup ?

[@vitisbp1131]

Stir in the microwave???

[@williamjonas4013]

ONE OF THOSE VERY THIN METAL SPATULAS WORKS THE BEST . A WOODEN OR PLASTIC ONE IS ASKING FOR PROBLEMS THIN IS THE KEY.

[@ericfielding668]

Rasped hard cheese on top of the yolk helps keep the yolk from breaking when flipping.

Non stick pans can have forever chemicals choose your non stick carefully

[@stevedomagala8317]

I should of though of this 80 years ago!

[@gm7304]

I'm Gregg the Egg. I can hold 2 egg pans in each hand and flip 8 eggs at the same time. 🍳🍳 👨‍🍳🍳🍳

[@sandimiller6465]

I completely disagree with pan selection. It's nonsense. If you use your stainless or cast iron skillet correctly, the egg doesn't stick and you can easily flip it.

[@RamblersDiner]

If I flip an egg in an egg pan, I don’t need a spatula. On the flattop, I just use the breakfast spatula (not the Smashburger spatula).

[@madmike5421]

Two ways to flip an egg: 1) On a flat grill use a spatula. 2) In a pan you use the pan to flip it. This is a wasted 10:12 seconds of my time. I have cooked eggs for over 50 yrs and in a pan , you use the pan why waste time with a spatula. If a cook in a restaurant is using a pan and a spatula to flip eggs, he has no business cooking in a restaurant.

[@alaskansourdough7602]

Always use butter never oil to fry eggs. You don't need a spatula to flip just use a small pan and cook two at a time and use the pan to flip them.

[@spodvoll]

*Never* just crack an egg over the pan. Always crack eggs over a cup, then pour it from the cup into the pan.

[@BigLewBBQ]

A non sequitur! I eat eggs sunny side up. No reason to flip them.

[@surf6009]

Warning. Someone might actually need this video.

[@CarsandCats]

Zero percent chance of flipping an egg in a cast iron skillet without using a spatula.

[@dougwebster8868]

Hmm. Do it all the time.

[@stevedomagala8317]

Only if you want to sprain your wfist

[@evolancer211]

You use a tool to flip an egg? Why dirty a second utensil, when you have a pan that can flip things?

[@chrisdavis5718]

Ruined a lot of eggs and never mastered the technique. Gave up trying. I hate hard fried eggs. The one thing my mom made that I could never eat; local squirrels ate them greedily.

[@markking7889]

When the eggs get out of date or closer to out of date they boil and peel much better.

[@billleung956]

Cast iron or stainless. Flips easily. Just need to know how and practice.. I don't use nonstick coatings. ....cancerous

[@Wireless_Gadgets]

Tool? I use a wok to pan fry eggs

[@Raztax]

Stainless steel is just as non stick as Teflon if you know what you are doing. Avacodo oil is a much better choice than olive oil. Higher smoke point and it doesn't add any flavor to what you are cooking.

[@KV-nh1ts]

Wow! This was filled with so much non-information. I finally stopped watching because nothing was being said and I had already sat through a dozen ads. What a waste of 10 minutes and during the time I watched, I never heard one word about "flipping" the eggs as the title suggested I would.

[@steverobs1020]

Nope, never put all your eggs in one basket

[@Tonyhouse1168]

I only put all my eggs in one basket while I’m counting my chicks before they hatch

[@sandradecker4454]

So? What is the right tool?

[@SteveChildress-cy4wc]

Well if you can't cook in a cast iron skillet without it sticking you don't need to be using anything other than a microwave oven

[@dadtablet2092]

I watch KZbin wrong.

[@wntastd]

Watched the whole vid to see if you'd come up with the MOST professional egg flapping method. But alas, you DIDN'T! You came close with the lid approach, but I flip eggs sans spatula/lid! Practice flipping using only the pan, starting with a bread heel and flip the heel. Once you're able to do that, you can flip an egg when the white's are set. You can also practice flipping a cup on a saucer, same wrist action required!

[@cardboardorigami]

I cook perfect eggs in stainless steel all the time. Learn how to use the kitchen

[@woodstream6137]

Technique for over easy? I've been experimenting. Everybody says heat until a drop of water dances then add oil. Something almost always sticks. I've had much better luck with a gentle heat and don't like the crispy bits a high heat sometimes generates.

[@TheCharleseye]

​@@woodstream6137 A thin layer of oil followed by a teaspoon of butter. Cook the egg until it releases easily, then flip. When cooking such things with stainless steel, carbon steel, or cast iron, the food will tell you when it's ready.

[@Hoosieryakcats]

I prefer to use bacon grease .

U need a video how to drive a car ❤❤❤

[@donlessnau3983]

bullshit. you can break yolks using either cracking method.

[@JohnAranita]

I FLIP OUT LIKE A FILIPINO

[@mrhalfstep]

What B*llSh*t!! I use about a 8 inch Teflon or ceramic pan and some butter and NO FLIPPER OF ANY SORT! I break 3 eggs into a bowl, pour them all in the skillet at the same time and when they are ready to flip, I do a quick front to back wrist flick, just like they do in every breakfast serving restaurant I've ever been in. Who flips fried eggs with a spatula? An omelet, maybe, but not over easy eggs. What crap!

[@tonyp4536]

Some good ideas and some not so good. You suggest a stainless spatula while saying you stick free. Not a good idea. Then you say thin spatulas and show a wooden one which is never going to be thin. Eliminating cast and stainless is a mistake. They do require some technique. While some disagree I think this would be helpful because it did not assume everyone watching this has done eggs for 20 or 50 years. I do like the idea of using a cup.

[@Kgio-2112]
