Why You Should Poke Your Eggs With a Fork While Cooking: The Secret to a Perfect Breakfast
06.07.2023 07:16
Surely many people have noticed how experienced cooks “poke” into the frying pan with a fork while cooking fried eggs.
This seemingly senseless procedure really does help make a traditional breakfast much more delicious.
At least the dish acquires a more suitable consistency.
However, to obtain the desired result, the action must be performed correctly.
How to use a fork
After breaking an egg into a frying pan, you need to cover the pan with a lid and wait until the white begins to curdle.
As soon as this happens, you should remove the lid, take a fork and start piercing the white part of the dish in the area that is closer to the yolk.
This action will ensure a more even distribution of the protein.
As a result, the white part of the dish will have time to harden completely while the yellow part will remain creamy. This way, the scrambled eggs will turn out perfect.
When you shouldn't use a fork
Not all gourmets consider the above-described consistency of scrambled eggs to be ideal.
If you like a hardened yolk or a runny white, then you don’t need to use a fork.
For obvious reasons, you should also avoid using cutlery when preparing scrambled eggs.
