  • When I'm frying an egg, I want it to taste fried with crispy brown edges. Here's how to fry an egg with a runny yolk, set whites, and crispy edges. The secret is plenty of oil, a hot pan, and basting.
    Here's the recipe: www.seriouseats.com/2016/06/ho...

    Here in Spain if the egg has not "Puntilla" (Which is how we call the crispy brown egg white) its not fried (frito) but inestad we call it "a la plancha" which is the technique to cook meat in a regular kitchen pan (Because you use too little oil or no oil at all). I love cooking and if you want a quick recipe from Spain try the "Huevos rotos con chistorra"... If you cant manage to get chistorra just go with bacon and it will be great too! :D.

  • @InnuendoXP
    @InnuendoXP 7 років тому +57

    The way Marco describes cooking fried eggs is almost like lightly poaching them in butter.
    I've done them that way and they way you're doing them right now and they both have their upsides and down.
    Cooking an egg so low and slow in a pan with butter gets you an incredibly silky tender egg white and a custardy yolk that's just started to thicken. There is no textural interest from the egg beyond that, but it tastes incredibly rich, if I want crunch when doing an egg like this then I have it on some crisp toast. Your method gets you the crispy edges however, and for something like a bacon and egg sandwich I love crispy egg white edges.
    The slow 'fry' method is definitely not like poaching however, eggs poached in water always taste somewhat diluted and insipid to me no matter how well drained they are, in water with a slight amount of acid there is a bounciness to the white that I am not a big fan of. Also despite it being in water it is less gentle than the low temp control you can get with a dry cooking method, you're basically setting eggs sitting in butter in a bain marie with the incredibly low heat 'frying' method Marco advocates, so you're getting a barely-set egg at the end, all the way through, yet still evenly hot throughout. So for me, this method isn't like having eggs poached at all.
    Marco's aversion to any amount of toughness or crispiness of egg white might have something to do with his time spent with French chefs of the 60s like Albert Roux who, in the video series with his brother, seemed notorious for his aversion to crispy egg, and seemed to consider it risque when his brother brought up having even a slight amount of colour on the outside of an omlette. - and despite his being touted as a visionary of new horizons in his heyday, has seemed steadfastly traditionalist and old-fashioned when it comes to cooking methods. Almost like the Young Pope of gastronomy.

    My Brazilian grandma adds the heapest tablespoon of salty zebu cow butter to a piping hot pan. When the butter stops sizzling (which means water has evaporated), she adds the egg. Tastes amazing with crispy, salty browned butter edges. That’s how most people do it around here. Sometimes with manteiga da terra, a type of clarified butter made by gently boiling double cream for a long time, but the ordinary zebu butter tastes better.

    Nice video. A better way to do it will be with a round bottom wok. The oil pools at the bottom of the wok, and the egg drops in the middle of the hot oil and the white cooks immediately with slightly crisp edges. Spooning the hot oil over the yolk is also easier with a round bottom wok, because the oil is pooling in a more concentrated area. Canola oil works well... no need for butter which burns easily at high temperature.

    I'm Thai, and I like my fried egg super crispy with runny yolk. And I make it perfect EVERY TIME.
    Here's how:
    You have to use round bottom pan, a wok if u must, non-stick is easier. Use more oil than that, about 3 time the volume of the egg. Highest heat, almost smoking. Carefully crack an egg in and RUN AWAY!!
    And all the works end there. Next thing, you have to wait for it to crisp up and take it on to a plate.
    Duck or chicken? There's a difference.
    Duck egg, which I prefer, will be crispy on the white and runny at the yolk just like that. Chicken egg, on the other hand, the yolk will cook faster than duck's, so you have to use cold egg because the yolk will stay runny while the white crisps up.

    A decade ago, I was in awe of Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsay and just anyone on the television circuit, but the more I learn about the culinary world as an amateur and delve deeper, I find it disgusting that Ii held them in any regard in the first place. To me now they are just pretentious showmen who have for long encouraged an environment of toxic abuse in kitchens and set arbitrary standards that only a food critic's palate would find palatable. It maddens me when they write about anything as though their authority on the subject supercedes that of chefs who have tried and tested food that appeals to the wider general populis rather than appeal to a figment of the society that has pockets lined with gold.

      Gordon has released entire TV series where he travels entire countries learning to cook from different cultures. His recipes aren’t pretentious - the way he makes, for example, a slow cooked pork belly is all about maximising flavour. What you define as over salting and over oiling, others would describe as adding flavour.
      Not to mention, Ramsay has shown time and again he is more than the crazy angry lunatic he is on Hell’s Kitchen. I feel like your rejection of Ramsay is defined by that image of him - in shows like Kitchen Nightmares or Masterchef he has a clear human touch that might be obscured if all you view of him is Hell’s Kitchen. Anyways, agree to disagree

      I mean it makes sense and it tastes a bit better, but then again using half a litre oil for every egg you make in your life seems kinda excessive in the long run which is probably why most people wont make it a routine. If I was tasked to make breakfast for the girl i fell in love with, I'd spare no cost and effort to even get the last 1% taste out of my egg. But just for myself every morning I'd just stick with the minimal approach. At the end of the day it's still egg and it's still gonna taste like egg.

    BUT, it was nice to see you give a professional chef's honest opinion... and say something sucks!

      The reason our country is having problems right now has absolutely nothing to do with people not being allowed to be mean to each other, and entirely because of lack of empathy and understanding (also, unbridled capitalism).
      I also don’t need to make money off these videos, nor do I make any of my professional decisions based on money.
