BA should lean more into these kind of videos again. I get people want personality/entertainment, but its been a while since I've really felt educated and/or inspired to cook something by their old stand-by shows. this guys got good vibes but the substance comes first and that's what i like about him (the success of the wine guy i think follows a similar path)
It's somewhat more showmanship and the novelty factor now. I can't blame them, they no longer have the natural charm of the test kitchen with chefs interacting. But as someone still learning to scramble eggs, this hit the spot.
Chef Harold is one of the best additions to the channel - love him. Always entertaining, always great food, and something about his voice is pretty soothing!
I think it would have been much better if he put the cooked eggs into a strainer to let the water drain and salted the eggs and the water. Sounds to me that's the fix for his issues. I think this might be a great way to make a lot of eggs at once with no added fat.
@@robertp457 that's what I was thinking, that and probably add more salt to the water bc wouldn't it be the same concept of salting the water before adding pasta?
Its not that stupid, like he said the biggest issue here is that it can be watery and bland, but its healthy. And for the bland part you can allways add flavour when you wisk your eggs. Also its not a monstrosity, this way of cooking eggs exist, in asian dishes, they use eggs in a similar way, in soups or noodle, they wisk the eggs and then poor it in the soup, creating something like that, foils of egg
I'm so happy to see so many positive comments for Harold. I've liked all of his videos I've seen, and people seemed focused on how different he was or how he didn't fit BA. Keep him around guys, he brings an awesome dynamic to the team! Tell him we want to see him too!
I’ve been growing increasingly frustrated with my usual method of cooking scrambled eggs- but I didn’t know which of the millions of other methods to try. I was so excited by this video that I tried out Alton’s method tonight and they’re BOMB. Would love to see this as a recurring series!!!
Combine Brown's method with the corn starch one, and boom, some of the best eggs you've ever tasted, I throw some shredded cheddar, and my girlfriends always are ready soon after to eat something else if you know what I mean ;]
Im glad he was able to say that hes never done something before and had nothing crazy to say. He was willing to try something else and admit that it was great
Instead of adding milk to your eggs use heavy cream, about a tablespoon to 3 eggs, much less water than milk and more flavor for the creamiest scrambled eggs. Best thing I've tried.
I really like the technique of the Ramsay method but when I make it I never use creme fresh. The smooth curd is so good imo. Throw some cheddar cheese in there and it's perfect for regular breakfast
Agreed, I love the Ramsay method on toast for weekend breakfasts. On weekends I tend to just do what my family calls "dippy" or sunny side up eggs since they're quick and easy and I really like slightly softer eggs.
Salting TOWARDS the end is the best way. While it's still somewhat runny, add the salt and pepper. The eggs doen't lose any color and the seasoning still gets evenly mixed in. Happy middle ground that I've found works the best.
Honestly, I tried Gordon Ramsey’s version on a whim once and it was so good! I no longer make scrambled eggs any other way. People request it at my house, I do cook them a little more because my mom doesn’t like it as loose, but still creamy and amazing.
i love harold, really down to earth, dude is talented and funny, and with the comment about saving money on milk i know he grew up like i did, i really hope to see more content with him!
I've adapted about three of these versions into one for my perfect scramble- crack the eggs into a cold pan with butter, season, scramble in the pain over highish heat and lower, emulsify the butter in by stirring frequently until the end when you let some of the curds get bigger. I like my eggs a little on the wet side so I finish them quickly. Super quick way to do them, less dishes, easy and tasty.
Doesn't Alton have a new version where he heats the pan in the oven so that it's ludicrously hot and the eggs only stay in the pan like 30 seconds or something? I was hoping he would do that one, I've never tried it
Definitely best scrambled eggs video by far! Representing New York City! Will definitely be trying out all different ways to scramble my eggs.Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Your experience and knowledge, of course every people have different taste, but You show them there are at least 6 different ways and not just did the french classic way.
I never knew deli style was the name for cooking eggs that way. I do that sometimes when I want a bit of drippy egg flavor in my scrambled eggs, letting the yolks cook a bit longer before breaking them up
I’ve been doing my scrambled eggs Gordon’s way for probably 15-16 years now and it’s definitely my favourite. Amazing on a toasted bagel with some smoked salmon
I have been using Martha Stewart recipe/method for 20 years and it has never failed me. But I am curious to try the cornstarch method and Alton Browns too! Thanks for the video!
I came into this expecting a lot of the ways I've seen in a lot of videos, like gordan's and alton's, but I didn't expect the deli style, which is how I love to do, to be in. That made me feel like I'm not ruining my eggs, because I love the creamyness with all the white marbling into the eggs. It's very comfy to me. :3c
I’ve been using the cornstarch method since I saw it several months ago on the Chinese cooking demystified channel, but I don’t use nearly this much! Maybe half a teaspoon per egg at most, A teaspoon of water per egg and a drop or two of fish sauce and they’re phenomenal!
I have like 10 ways that I make scrambled eggs, depending on the application. I make scrambled eggs differently depending on if it’s going in a tortilla, or on a biscuit, vs as a solo side dish. One trick that I do that really kicks it up a bit, is make them with Alton’s high 2 lo style (my personal fav), but melt a small tbsp of butter in a side bowl, melt it, and baste the finished eggs with some melted butter. It really adds a new dimension to the eggs. Works best with omelette though.
Deli style was one of the first styles of cooking scrambled eggs. Never knew I have been doing a mostly NY thing for most of my life. Thought it was done widely.
For the swirled/poached eggs, put the finished eggs in the strainer for a few seconds, and let the water drain out. I've a French recipe for scrambled eggs that requires 45 minutes. These don't seem too labour intensive compared to that one!
@@CalvinLimuel Oh, there is no double boiler for either. For the 45 min recipe, it's a simple cast iron skillet, eggs, butter, technique, and time. Lots. Of. Time. But they >are< some damn good scrambled eggs.
#2 seems very very similar to Kenji Lopez-Alt's "Really Good Scrambled Eggs" recipe. Kenji gives credit to a woman who discovered the cornstarch trick in his video, but the combination of corn starch slurry + butter in the eggs before cooking + water in pan while it preheats seems way too similar to Kenji's recipe to not credit him in some way. Just my 2 cents!
I love Kenji, but Chinese Cooking Demystified also used cornstarch for their (traditional?) Cantonese scrambled eggs. So I doubt whoever Kenji was referring to came up with using cornstarch.
While Harold mentioning a lot of 'big' chef name plus location here and there, he (or BA team) didn't even give a single credit about the so-called-thickening-agent. But, yeah, maybe BA have a strict guideline about mentioning fellow creator.
This is great, thanks! I've been doing the low and slow method but with oil instead of butter and cream instead of milk. It's good! And if I want it in a sandwich I just don't fold it as much, everything else is the same
I really appreciate that he differentiates between his personal preferences vs. how objectively good he thinks the recipe is.
Well said.
Yes
Was gonna say the same, I love the "I" rating and the overall rating.
Deli style for me.
Like how this Chef tells reasons why and respects preference!!
BA should lean more into these kind of videos again. I get people want personality/entertainment, but its been a while since I've really felt educated and/or inspired to cook something by their old stand-by shows. this guys got good vibes but the substance comes first and that's what i like about him (the success of the wine guy i think follows a similar path)
I agree. I used to cook BA recipes all the time after watching the videos. Everything they do now is too over the top
It's somewhat more showmanship and the novelty factor now. I can't blame them, they no longer have the natural charm of the test kitchen with chefs interacting. But as someone still learning to scramble eggs, this hit the spot.
Chef Harold is one of the best additions to the channel - love him. Always entertaining, always great food, and something about his voice is pretty soothing!
Yes! His voice is so soothing, I thought I was the only one who thought this.
Harold genuinely tried to hold back on the ''Poached Egg Scramble' monstrosity.
Some things do not need to be reinvented.
I think it would have been much better if he put the cooked eggs into a strainer to let the water drain and salted the eggs and the water. Sounds to me that's the fix for his issues. I think this might be a great way to make a lot of eggs at once with no added fat.
I'm glad he was honest... I was thinking the same as what he said. I'm sure the technique is a favorite for some...
@@robertp457 that's what I was thinking, that and probably add more salt to the water bc wouldn't it be the same concept of salting the water before adding pasta?

I'm so happy to see so many positive comments for Harold. I've liked all of his videos I've seen, and people seemed focused on how different he was or how he didn't fit BA. Keep him around guys, he brings an awesome dynamic to the team! Tell him we want to see him too!
how could anyone hate this gem
literally every single video of him in it, almost every comment is positive for him, I've actually never seen a negative comment about him
This is my 1st time seeing Chef Harold and like his style!!
This guy gives a "real" vibe about him.
Comparing these various highly debated methods is a nice way to go about the basics.
I’ve been growing increasingly frustrated with my usual method of cooking scrambled eggs- but I didn’t know which of the millions of other methods to try. I was so excited by this video that I tried out Alton’s method tonight and they’re BOMB. Would love to see this as a recurring series!!!

Harold is my favorite chef on BA hands down. I could watch an entire channel with just him.
Instead of adding milk to your eggs use heavy cream, about a tablespoon to 3 eggs, much less water than milk and more flavor for the creamiest scrambled eggs. Best thing I've tried.
Maaaan we really need Harold in the test kitchen interacting with everyone else working on recipe videos with them
I really like the technique of the Ramsay method but when I make it I never use creme fresh. The smooth curd is so good imo. Throw some cheddar cheese in there and it's perfect for regular breakfast
Agreed, Gordon's way is the only way I make scrambled eggs now
Try Kerry Gold butter and chives!
I dislike Gordon, but his eggs are the best
i hate that ive been making eggs that way since i watched gordon make it smh lol
try it with brown butter and a little sherry/balsamic vinegar. makes it sooo good
I think the Ramsay style is more supposed to be used like a topping for toast, but I'm always about that milk with salt ahead version myself.
yeah i like to make it with toast it's great. by itself tho i don't like the texture
it is supposed to be served on toast and it is good but that's more of weekend breakfast to me. Alton Brown's method is my go to.
Agreed, I love the Ramsay method on toast for weekend breakfasts. On weekends I tend to just do what my family calls "dippy" or sunny side up eggs since they're quick and easy and I really like slightly softer eggs.
@@maij32 why weekend? It takes like 2 mins
@@yerda5464 Because the Alton Brown method takes 30 seconds. During the week I try to save as much time as possible.
I’m glad to see a chef finally admitting salting before is better!
Kenji Lopez Alt has spoken at length about it and the science behind why you should. That man knows eggs.
@@rawdog1999 all praise Kenji!
Oh no my great tasting eggs have become 0.5% more grey!!
You can salt it after, but you'd need to use a finer salt, and you need to hit it while it's still hot.
Salting TOWARDS the end is the best way. While it's still somewhat runny, add the salt and pepper. The eggs doen't lose any color and the seasoning still gets evenly mixed in. Happy middle ground that I've found works the best.

I loved that too. He's a real human with a real history. Authenticity is everything.
This dude is a trip. I had to double take what channel I was watching. Bon Appétit?? I want to see more of this guy

Happy to see Kenji's cornstarch method doing well.
Every time I see something new but amazing it’s turns out to be a Kenji thing. That man is something else.
Glad they decided to cite their source for that method 😅
Kenji admitted he saw it on Chinese cooking demystified and they’ve been doing it in China that way for a long time.
@@anastasiarene3130 Ya - that's my bad - his method is based on/inspired by/a modification of, more traditional methods!
@@anastasiarene3130 appreciate the added context
the more i learned about the poached version, the worse it got.
Incredible video, Harold was dope
“Do it man. Just have fun. As long it tastes good you know your gonna be alright”
-Harold
First video I’ve watched with Harold and I love his candor. Seems like an easy dude to hang with versus someone who feels less relatable.
Hes awesome. I think him and the sommelier guy are my two fave people on BA right now!
Alton Brown ain’t never lied.
Doesn't Alton have a new version where he heats the pan in the oven so that it's ludicrously hot and the eggs only stay in the pan like 30 seconds or something? I was hoping he would do that one, I've never tried it
0:32
"We're gonna do it his, which is crazy, all right? We're gonna enjoy this"
LOL first 30 sec and he slay it
The great thing about scrambled eggs is that you can tailor it to how you are feeling at the time, it's such a versatile recipe
I dig his vibe. He kept it 💯, and the video was done really well.
Yo this dude is the man. Love his confident, knowledgeable, easy style. Bronx vs everyone, bady.
His whole demeanor is a breath of fresh NY air.
Harold is raw. I absolutely love this dude.
Couldn’t have posted this twenty minutes ago when i cooked breakfast? 😩
no
There's still tomorrow...😊
Definitely best scrambled eggs video by far! Representing New York City! Will definitely be trying out all different ways to scramble my eggs.Thank you!
I love how he presents these!
Tried 3 of them and I agree with your final choice! Yum
I love scrambled eggs so much
That poached scrambled sure MUST be healthier... Because you're gonna take one bite and scrape the rest of it into the trash
LOL yes!!!
"using temperature as the main base for his cooking process" lmaoo
I like the cornstarch method he tried and really liked. Must try it. Thankyou chef Harold.
Thanks for sharing Your experience and knowledge, of course every people have different taste, but You show them there are at least 6 different ways and not just did the french classic way.
I never knew deli style was the name for cooking eggs that way. I do that sometimes when I want a bit of drippy egg flavor in my scrambled eggs, letting the yolks cook a bit longer before breaking them up
Love how this Chef is taking different versions of Scrambled Eggs!!!
Harold knocks it out of the park again. I'd watch this guy make toast.
I can't like this enough. Thank you BA !
Just subbed to the channel for my man. I tune in to this channel every once in a while but spectacular job Man. Instant sub
i like this guy, more of him please
Soft scramble with Kerry Gold butter and chives is the way to go
"There's no flavor, there's no love, so it is healthier." 😭
Harold needs more screen time! NYC to the fullest - smart, real, and talented.
I’ve been doing my scrambled eggs Gordon’s way for probably 15-16 years now and it’s definitely my favourite. Amazing on a toasted bagel with some smoked salmon
It’s nice to have my method, ‘the deli’ method. Given a name and vindication as an authentic way to cook eggs
Chef Villarosa is my new favorite chef to watch
Get this guy in the test kitchen!!!
I just made myself some of number 6 this morning. They worked for me.
Educative. Great video . Love the chef and his style .
Born for it.
Congratulations!
I love the cornstarch method! Mixing the ingredients takes about as long as the low and slow method, but the heat is higher so they cook faster.
I have been using Martha Stewart recipe/method for 20 years and it has never failed me. But I am curious to try the cornstarch method and Alton Browns too! Thanks for the video!

I do it like that sometimes but never knew it was called deli style 😂😂😂
First, I need more Harold.
Second, it just occured to me that I've only done deli style 😂 didn't realize other people didn't just crack into the pan
Love this! More Harold
" ... there is no love, so it is healthier." 🤣
He right tho lol
I love this guy. Can we see more of him?
I’ve been using the cornstarch method since I saw it several months ago on the Chinese cooking demystified channel, but I don’t use nearly this much! Maybe half a teaspoon per egg at most, A teaspoon of water per egg and a drop or two of fish sauce and they’re phenomenal!
Fish sauce in eggs is a game changer.
Need to try this just to compare. The fish sauce is interesting.
Why give Gordon credit for the first eggs but not give Kenji credit for the second??
Awesome. This is the definitive scrambled egg vid AND very entertaining.

Deli style was one of the first styles of cooking scrambled eggs. Never knew I have been doing a mostly NY thing for most of my life. Thought it was done widely.
It is..nothing about it is unique to NY
I cook it like that because I am depressed and want to die, and it takes the least effort.

At least 37 minutes of that must be sitting outside the chicken coop with your coffee waiting for the hens to lay some eggs.

great video! but they're called 'curds' not 'curdles'
That silicone spatula is the target one i think. Really nice spatula tbh
Yo is Harold gonna be a permanent addition?? Cuz if he is!? That's Dope!!
I freaking loved this video. Love his personality.
My late parents boiled up some fresh garden peas then chucked into eggs. It was beautiful with a little salt.
I didn't know they are so many ways to eat scramble! Thank you for the valuable information!👍😊
Harold said everything gone be alright. I believe him.
I've always used a dash of fish sauce instead of salting before, which just adds a little umami to the eggs.
Finally someone who cracks the eggs in the pan!! why waste a bowl?
Awesome video! I have always wanted to know the difference between adding or not adding milk! And the cornstarch method….wow!
More videos with him 👌🏾
There's no love. . .so it's healthier!- chef harold

Great comparison video.
He is so good. ♥️ his explanations.
Really like Harold!
Best dude on the channel right now.
This man just got you a new subscriber. 👍🏽
Great video, thank you
I always knew Alton Brown was the GOAT. Been my fav chef for a long time
He's not all that.
I like soft, custard curds also. Few truffles shaved. I mix the creme fraiche while whipping eggs, then cook low and slow.
You know what they say, [BEEP]'em! I love this guy!
I just love.a sow cooked, wet, fine curd scramble. Scrambled eggs are awesome
Interestingly, Alton Brown doesn’t use the method attributed to him here anymore.
This was an awesome video. Its not often I feel inspired to cook after watching one of these.
Great demonstration!!
I use the Eggslut method. It's awesome
This is great, thanks! I've been doing the low and slow method but with oil instead of butter and cream instead of milk. It's good! And if I want it in a sandwich I just don't fold it as much, everything else is the same
