How do you cook a fried egg without any experience?

Answer 1

1. Get a medium sized nonstick pan.

2. Put a small amount of cooking oil in the pan and wipe out the excess.

3. Place the pan on the burner on medium heat.

4. Give the pan 30-60 seconds to heat up.

5. Crack the egg on the BOTTOM of the pan (not the side to avoid egg down the outside of the pan and burning making a horrible smell).

6. Carefully open the egg onto the surface to avoid breaking the yolk or getting shell in it.

7. Decide upon the style;

*Straight Up or Sunnyside Up is simply cooked on the bottom and not flipped or covered. These are the rarest style. Runny and hard to cook right.

*Over Easy is flipped after the egg cooks on the bottom well enough to hold together and cooked on the 2nd side for only 30 seconds or so to seal the top. The white and yolk are uncooked with over easy.

*Over medium is what most people want when they order over easy. It is turned a bit later and cooked on the 2nd side a little longer. The white is cooked and the yolk is hot, but still liquid.

*Over well is flipped late and cooked through. No liquid remains, but the yolk is intact.

*Over Hard is where the yolk is intentionally broken and spread around. The egg is cooked through. This is how you make a fried egg sandwich.

*Basted is essentially covered and steamed with water under the lid

Tips-

Use a thin nylon spatula

oil the spatula so the egg doesn't stick while you're trying to flip it

when you turn the egg try to get most of it on the spat and turn it like it has a hinge on 1 edge, don't lift the egg and plop it.

make sure there is room in the space it is to flip

if the pan is too hot you will be having scrambled cuz it will stick
