Maybe the food business is one big lie.
“Now for why restaurants have better eggs: they cheat. They order special blends of eggs with additives to create the right texture. As others have already mentioned, these aren’t better than homemade, unless you don’t know the right way to cook an egg. But they are more forgiving. This is why 7–11 and Taco Bell can get away with hour old eggs under a heat lamp that still taste decent.”
From the five-star breakfast expert:
“This answer is a re-run, but it’s perfect for this. I used to cook breakfast at a five-star hotel, and when it comes to eggs, I do not fuck around.The correct way to scramble eggs involves 3 ingredients, 4 tools, a plate, and an oven.You need: Eggs (three per person, minimum), Butter and salt, a bowl, a table fork, a nonstick skillet (commonly called an egg pan), a red-handled heat-proof Rubbermaid spatula, a stove, with the oven turned to 225, a heatproof plate.”
Fats and salts are all you need.
” 1. Lots of butter. 2. Lots of salt. Beyond that, “better” is simply a matter of preference.”
It takes at least 15 minutes to master the art.
“I used to make scrambled eggs fast, like in three minutes. Now I know better. It takes 15 minutes to cook scrambled eggs the way I do them now. All the same prep. Butter on pan, break up yolks with fork, yada yada. But the temperature is super low -as low as I can get it on the stove.”
Your at home scrambled eggs can be just as good as those at the restaurant.
“Rather, it is that home cooked scrambled eggs are often not properly prepared. So I’m gonna tell you how to fix those cackle berries so they come out right. Every time. Put a tablespoon of butter (NOT margarine, damn you! I said BUTTER, you know, like from cows). Low heat to melt it. Sorry, I get carried away with these things.”
