Most people crack eggs into a preheated frying pan.
It cannot be said that this approach is absolutely wrong and that it must be abandoned.
After all, in most cases it turns out to be a very appetizing breakfast.
But there is still a more convenient way to cook scrambled eggs: the dish always comes out perfect - beautiful, tender and tasty.
So, you should break eggs into a cold frying pan. Turn on the burner only after this action has been completed.
This advice to gourmets was given by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
What's the downside to cracking eggs into a hot pan?
In this case, the protein will immediately begin to lose its transparency.
And the hotter the dish is, the faster this part of the egg will turn white.
Under such conditions, the risk of over-frying the dish and getting an unsightly and unappetizing black crust will be at its highest.

In this case, the white will heat up gradually. This part of the egg will remain white. Nothing will burn.
The main thing is to turn on the minimum heat immediately after breaking the product into the pan and leave it like that until the end of cooking.
Yes, in this case, breakfast will take a little longer to prepare than usual.
But the scrambled eggs will turn out gorgeous. They will be evenly fried and very tender. In addition, the dish will have a beautiful appearance: the white and yolk have ideal colors.
