The Three Things Culinary Schools Should Teach You: Scrambled Eggs

  • Scrambled eggs-one of the first dishes most people learn how to make. Heat up a pan, add some fat, and add beaten eggs. Simple, right? Well, yes and no. While it may be one of the easiest to make, it’s also easy to mess up. Cook the eggs for too long or at too high a temperature and you end up with a rubbery, weepy scramble. Add in the fact that you can achieve a wide variety of textures, and the dish doesn’t seem very simple at all. ChefSteps co-founder and executive director Grant Crilly shows you how time, temperature, and agitation can produce wildly different variations on scrambled eggs, and he offers a few key lessons on how to make the perfect scrambled eggs, whatever “perfect” means to you.

Although the reverse scramble, you taught me a trick to add the cream at the end, which I think I will do shortly but adding stracciatella (the inside of a creamy burrata ball)/// thanks, now out bed to make this! thanks for starting my day with something yummy to make!

    The reverse scramble is almost exactly what my grandmother used to do back on the farm, except she agitated them more in the skillet so they were a bit more homogenous. I do them like that but hold back an egg yolk and muddle it with the dairy, and add that after taking the skillet off the heat, mixing it through, cover and let it sit in the skillet for a minute while i finish everything else up.

    I like the "reverse" method the best. Personally, I don't do any scrambling before cracking the eggs directly to the pan, take them off the heat when the yolks are still a bit runny. No cream.

    My favorite style of scrambled egg is from Hong Kong. Just look up Lucas Sin's Hong Kong Egg Sandwiches recipe on UA-cam, because it's a god send. I do a Japanese riff on mine by using dashi powder as the main seasoning. I also use sesame oil instead of neutral oil for additional flavor. It's amazing on rice.

Think we all have been distracted cuz eggs do fast that we went over, but admit it we ate it anyway 🤣😂, no ketchup 🧟

    I feel like scrambled eggs are too varied to confine to a short-form video tbh. Of course time temp tech is a good way to break it down, but there's so much to go into that this video feels more like a teaser or quick tips rather than something that truly gets to the core of scrambled eggs.
    I'd break it down into a few main things:
    Curd structure - do you like your curds thick or thin? do you want many curds or few? the former touches on the frequency of agitation, while the latter touches on how much total agitation.
    Texture - do you like your eggs soft or firm? browned or no? loose or tight? these touch on total cooking time, pan temperature, and agitation-time-temperature ratio respectively.
    Mixture - do you like richer or lighter? airy or no? homogenous or mosaic? these touch on yolk-white ratio, mixing equipment, and mixing time/technique respectively
    Variation - if you're adding extra things into your eggs, how moist is it? what colour is it and will it spread? will it over or undercook? etc. this touches on a whole other range of things that affects how your scramble cooks.

    Huge fan but i feel like this was a lazy video. The diner style eggs and the non agitated one was disappointing. Also the time in temp is not realistic for regular stove top. Induction cooking is much quicker rendering most of this video useless to most of us. I wouldve been much more interested to see a sous vide scrambled egg 👀

    I’ve never seen a stove that lets you dial in a numeric temperature (℉ nor ℃). It’s always Low-High or 1-10). How accurate is that? Especially since the device in the video is induction (which produces a magnetic field and not heat). Is it using a sensor to read the pan temperature? What brand of device is it? Just got a new induction stove and it’s the 1-10 kind, but now I want to upgrade if this is really a thing.
