You made me smile.......at the end when you mashed up the egg. My uncle used to fry an egg for me when I was very small (3 years old I think) and he would always do that to make it easy for me to eat, with a piece of bacon and of course toast (oh and don't forget the grape jelly). Such a happy memory for me. Everyone else would still be asleep. I loved him a lot...
My grama use to do this for me too❤ but with tortillas instead of toast. Such fond memories around her kitchen table just the two of us enjoying this meal.
“Might even lay me an egg. Uh huh but I ain’t gonna” lmfao whaaaat
Arrested Development vibes LOL
He's crazy
He keeps it lighthearted

How is this man not have a huge network TV show? Between the dancing and "spatuler" I'm sold.
My mom knew two things well: 1) How to cook an egg 2) How to use cast iron. But one thing I NEVER heard was using water to help steam the fried egg. Tried this last night and the result was amazing!
Thanks for watching Devin and glad you enjoyed
I've know this as a "basted sunny side up egg". eliminates the slimly slightly uncooked top.
My mother taught me this trick years ago. I've done it ever since. It's actually called a "Basted" egg, technically not a "fried" egg. But the very best way and easiest to do an egg if you like a soft or medium yolk.
This is egg fixin 101.
That's how I've always liked mine...sunny side up but with a little cloud cover over the sun...lol
God bless you to Kent. We love all that you do at my. Your the best. Amen. Thank you for your support to our Veterans. I served 23 year in the U.S. Army and I was an 82nd Airborne Paratrooper. It was the best time of my life to serve my Country.
Thanks for watching Philip and thank you for your service, God bless you and yours
I love when they interact with the beags and also answer for him. I laugh everytime.
No you dont
Sir I just wanted to tell you how helpful this video was. I've never had success making eggs, even scrambled. But recently I inherited 10 acres from my grandfather when he passed. I'm spending 2 weeks alone up here clearing out as much as I can, and I've really been missing my girlfriends eggs and bacon. I found his skillet that he used every day and decided to give it a shot. Your video was so entertaining and made the whole process very approachable. Especially with the different cooking times. I did exactly what you said and it fried perfectly, I'm so excited to do it again tomorrow. Thank you for your work, you taught a man to fish today and I'll never forget it ❤️
Kent: "How do you like your eggs?"
Dog: "Yes, I like eggs."
😊😊
Yep, they'll eat them crunchy, shells an all.
Beag "In my mouth! "
My Golden waits at the chicken coop with his nose at the nesting boxes. Gets his daily egg and carefully carries it up to the front lawn and has breakfast, with side order of shells.
Maxid1 I eat the shell too. harmless and nutritious too.
And a sprinkle of dried dill ..takes fried eggs to a new level
Thx for the tip
I miss these old Kent Videos. These are what got me in to Cast Iron and a great hobby I know have. Wish the new age videos could come back to this. Thank you!
More to come!
Im so glad my mom taught me to cook in an iron skillet. Fried eggs are the best in one.
God Bless yall. You and you're wife are the salt of the earth kinda people
Thank you for watching and God bless you
And pepper. You can't ever forget the pepper.
Wow man I haven't heard the term "salt of the earth" for a long time. I love using it to describe personalities, and you're definitely right.
Even better, they don't loose their saltiness.

Great video Kent, I've been trying to make eggs over easy/medium forever and with this advice I was finally able to do it without breaking the yolk and it turned out perfect
One of the most pleasant cooking videos and videos in general I've ever seen on UA-cam
Thanks Andrew for watching
I am so grateful for this video. My egg slides right out and is always cooked just right thanks to you.
Loved Your Presentation .. Great
Thank you so much
I just love your videos, they make me forget all the negative stuff in the world for a few minutes! God bless!🌞💕
I love this trick with water.... my sister showed me that one 10 years ago and it has made me look like an expert ever since
Thank you for the video! I bought my first ever cast iron a couple of days ago and I followed your tips to make the best fried eggs ever!
Well, 51 thumbs down ! How could anyone, in the name of sanity, give this video a thumbs down. Heck, must be some sure nuff miserable folks that ain't never had a fried egg, lol ! God bless you Mr. Kent and your pretty missus Miss Shannon .
51 waffle house fry cooks ??
Thumbs down was probably a vegan
Just a wild guess probably cause the egg was running
Miserable folks out there all the time. Hadn't seen an egg unless it was wrapped up in McDonalds paper.
I know how. In no way should you ever use water with cast iron. EVER! Even if it is a small amount like we see here.
Thanks for the tip Mr. Rollins. I love your show. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos !
Thank you for watching
This is the only way I’ll make them. Perfect every time. Thanks Kent
This is exactly what I’ve been doing for years. My eggs turn out perfect every single time. And I use the lid from my stock pot... fits perfectly. Also, I used Kerry Gold butter, adds better flavor than any other butter I’ve used. I also add dill right before I add the water. I don’t time the cooking. I just cook it until the yolks are glazed over and they still wobble when you wiggle the skillet.
Upvote for Kerrygold!
I chest I use an egg cooker - I love my 6 yard eggs every day lol
I am grateful for you and Shannon, your videos brighten my day no matter what y'all are doing. You have a light and energy about you that says God has moved in y'all's life. I pray that God continues to bless y'all so that y'all can bless others with more videos. I look forward to meeting y'all one day.
Thank you for watching Chris and it would be our pleasure
The egg turned out perfect. I never tried adding water, i will try it out. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks, cowboy -- your videos have been a game changer and a life saver for me after years of winging it.
This is a pretty awesome technique. It really helped. I just cooked some over-hard eggs and they turned out really well. Thanks!
This is the most wholesome and useful cooking channel with personality I've ever had the pleasure of being subscribed to
Thanks for watching
Thanks Kent! I just made the best breakfast I’ve had in a while with your tips! Grandma and grandpas cast iron is still cooking with me! I’m not gonna let it go ever either!
These videos are so soothing and wholesome not to mention the great cast iron cooking tips and recipes.
This is the closest I've seen to the way my late Grandfather cooked eggs: I don't think he knew there was anything to cook on, other than cast iron lol. I'd love to see how you make real pancakes from scratch on cast iron. Thanks for the video, it's going to help me a lot!
Hope you enjoy
@@CowboyKentRollins thanks Kent. I too want to see how u do flapjacks
My grandma made the best scrambled eggs mind you I love over medium eggs but good lord she made them soo good!!!
A grandma can make a bowl of cereal taste great.
I like these little tip videos. Good basics and a good start to a Saturday morning as I'm sipping my coffee and warming the skillet.
Thank you Robert for watching
I’ve been “steaming” eggs for years . It’s a game changer in being able to cook of all varieties in same skillet
Me too. Wife thinks im crazy for doing it.
Kent, my wife & I really appreciate your videos. We watched about an hour & a half of them last night and really enjoyed them. We still ate left overs, but really enjoyed your videos.
Thank you Cowboy for these videos. In this crazy world we need you
I appreciate that
So, I've been following Kent's advice on everything "cast iron", from initial sanding and regular seasoning, but, I thought I knew how to fry an egg. Well, turns out I didn't, lol. You want to fry the the best eggs ever? Do exactly as Kent says. All I can say is, thanks man!!
I tried this today, and my eggs turned out perfectly. I used bacon fat instead of butter, and they were great. Thank you so much, I've been a little intimidated by cooking eggs in my cast iron pans, but not anymore.
Great job
Hey Kent, you are absolutely enjoyable to watch and you have great down to earth real cookin advise. Love your show and your recipe ideas..Awesome job Kent. Yeehaw cowboy.
Thank you sir for this tutorial! It helped my egg frying game tremendously!
I’m new to the cast Iron world of cooking, so I needed some knowledge. Damn glad I came across you. I really like your videos, cowboy cooking is the best. This is how I would traditionally make fried eggs, but I watched all these other eggs videos, and all their eggs sucked in the cast iron and was about to give up, until I came across this video. Thank you.
Wow I've cooked fried eggs in my cast iron like that for a long time, however I've never added water.
I never even thought about, but holy cow....game changer 👊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
The steam created, with just a little water, & the lid, makes it cook on top at the same time. It works great!
Auntie Ann Tate me too I going to cook me and my dog “Taylor” a few fried eggs with the water and lid idea right now by.
Hope you all enjoy
You know you're in the presence of a master when you, very subtly, feel inferior. ;)
I take almost 10 minutes to fry my egg but that's just because I like it low and slow. Don't use water, I'll just double the amount of butter.
But the 2 most important tips is to NEVER let it sizzle much less over it, and to NEVER salt your eggs before cooking them. They'll make that water in your plate after you eat them.
I tried it only once and succeeded!!! Kent you made my day!!!
Well Mr Rollins, been watching you for several years now and you've definitely helped me when it comes to all things cast iron. Just made the best eggs. Been struggling for years with my eggs sticking. Love your videos
Kent,
I usually put about 1/4" of good bacon grease
in my pan and keep the temp low.
Then when I pour my egg in my pan, I get my small soup ladle and dip and pour the grease over the egg.
The desired egg style is dependent on how translucent the top of the yolk is.
Try it out.
Our love-n-hugs to you and
Shann from SC..
Swappin prayers with y'all.
Terry
That's what them gore-mays call a "basted" egg.
This is how my mom and grandma always made eggs
Pretty much the way I do mine. Yeah from SC.
Cook it in the skillet after the bacon comes out. Drop couple in there and take a spatula and ‘kick’ that grease up on the egg. Yum! 🤗
I make a really good cast iron egg, but I've never heard of using water! Imma have to try that next time!
Thanks for the tip!
Hope you enjoy
That’s called a basted egg. The way I like mine done!
Thanks Cowboy Kent . I absolutely love your channel . Cheers
Thanks for watching
I shared this video with my husband (shortly after you posted it), because he missed having fried eggs, and he did NOT like using cast iron. Well, he followed all of your directions, including my most seasoned skillet, and his eggs were perfect! I have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, so I eat duck eggs. The yolks are SO large (yummy!), that I had a hard time flipping them, to get the whites next to the yolk done. I gave up on fried duck eggs a long time ago, because I couldn't flip them without breaking that fantastic yolk. Today, I had the MOST FANTASTIC breakfast with a duck egg - ever! All of that yolk was perfect! THANK YOU!! It's the little things that matter, especially with the COVID-19. God bless you for being darn-good, regular people! Love from South Dakota!! 🇺🇸
I grew up with a Joan Clements .
She was a PITA. Sorry just saying .
Take care
Now I want to thank you for this video, I use cast iron to cook with, on a gas stove. The water idea is something I'll try & timing it's fry time, plus the lid. I'm with you Kent, I like my egg, over easy, aswell. Gods blessings!
Hope you enjoy and Thanks for watching, God bless you
Awesome idea for a series. GOD bless you and your family 😀
Thanks for watching and God bless you
Yes!! Tried this technique this morning and made perfect fried eggs for the first time ever my cast iron!! Thanks Kent & Shan!
So glad you enjoyed Karla and Thanks for watching
i love this video so much, and your voice is so relaxing to listen to
And I wanna think YOU, the Kent family, for taking the time out of YOUR day for sharing your valuable knowledge. And as Army combat veteran, I tip my hat to you as well good sir.
Thank you for watching Jason and for your service
@@CowboyKentRollins Sure thing. I'm from Oklahoma as well. I actually work as a chef, so your tricks have came in handy and have helped me out a bit.
I was once a breakfast cook at Bob Evans and the key to fried eggs is to actually roll the egg over rather than flipping it. I've used the water and lid trick as well with great results.
Great minds think alike! I’ve been making them this way for years.
Thanks for a great episode!
Thanks for watching
I love your humor and cooking tips! Thanks
Thanks for watching
Great video Kent and Shannon!
God bless.
Thanks my friend and hope your well, God bless you
Lol Kent: “how do you like your eggs?” Dog: “yes!”
Hi Kent!! I just want to say you are my new cooking hero!! I really have enjoyed the videos I have watched so far... keep them coming buddy... God bless you and and God bless America!!
Ok this guy is my favorite cook now.
Lol oh my stars I just made a fried egg sammich sat down and turned on UA-cam and there’s this gem of a video
Thanks for watching
Did it make you wanna chicken dance?
Lyndell sure did lol I work for a chicken farm so I have had expert help
@@CowboyKentRollins Do you have a favorite brand iron skillet? Thanks
@@sh393 I would go for the Smithy or if wealthy the Finex
I just want to give a shout out to your awesome wife for putting in all the work she does. I’m not sure how many people actually think about her. You wouldn’t have these wonderful videos without her!!!
Thank you!! ❤❤❤ First successful over easy egg in my cast iron. NEVER GOING BACK!!!
God Bless!!!
Glad to help and God bless you
Finally, someone that fries an egg just like me! I've been using a lower heat and a lid for a lot of years now and it just made sense to me. I've never used water though! That's something to try. Thanks Kent and Shan
Thank you Rob for watching
I use this method, and it works perfect everytime 👍 The cookbook from Cowboy Kent Rollins is amazing. There are so many delicious recipes.
Nice! I was meaning to pick up the cookbook myself!
@@chefmayi70 I can guarantee you won't be sorry. Aside from the recipes, the Wit and Wisdom plus the Cowboy "Fillyosophy" makes for great reading.
Glad you are enjoying
Best video I’ve seen in a while. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks Jacob for watching
Not only a good cook but an entertainer!
Best birthday gift for me to wake up to!!! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! Thanks guys!
Happy Birth-aversary, Preston.
Happy Birthday
@@CowboyKentRollinsand you had to go and make it a even better day, Thanks for the B-Day wish!!!
@@thomasarussellsr thank you, brother!!!
Cowboy Kent videos are always something I look forward to, but this video was especially welcome on a Saturday morning. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Rollins!
Thank you for watching
My grandmother did all of her cooking in a cast iron skillet on top of a stove. By the time I was old enough to understand her way of life when she was growing up she explained to me that cast iron was the way everybody cooked and there was no Teflon coated skillets. Awesome video Rollins famuly!
Love this. Without a doubt one of my favorite channels.
When I was little I wouldn’t eat a fried egg for nothing until my uncle mashed it up like you did and I eat them that way today.Thanks for the memories
Before mashing them all up, the yolk is a great dipping pot for your crispy bacon, yum-yum.
Thank you for watching Danny
Is there another way?! :)
@@danclay8229 Yep, I dip toast into the yolk :D My Grandma always called it "Dip Egg". Or sometimes I'll just eat my fried eggs on toast whole, super yummy and filling!!!
That is definitely a perfect egg. I always place an English muffin or toast that is buttered on the plate first, then egg on top so delicious.
Sounds great
Ive been doing my eggs this way since watching this video a few months ago and its superb, they work everytime.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the tips sir! I cooked my eggs like this this morning and will to continue to do so. Perfect!
Your beagle is adorable. They are my favorite dog
Beag' is an adorable dog, too bad he is so over weight. That will take a few years off his life and be very hard on his knees and hips. I wonder if Cowboy Kent has any tips for putting a heavy doggy on a weight loss program.
We keep our beagles as active as possible, to keep the weight off.
The beagle gets about 2 miles everyday
@@CowboyKentRollins Hey, that is better than me! I need to take a leaf from the beagle book of life!
Don't be feeding them dogs eggs. They will leave a gas trail you will never forget.
2:10 " Dont make no difference, just make sure you got one" LMAO I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
Love this channel. One of the few camping experiences was with a wheelchair bound group in Yosemite. Some veteran and some civilian types like myself. All of us handcycling around Yosemite. One of the best things was waking in the Morning getting a cup of coffee by the campfire. Stuck in now but for a taste of the outdoors I go to Kent and see what the cowboys are up to. Thanks for sharing Kent.
My husband and I love watching your video.... You fix some amazing things
perfect tip for a Saturday morning.. good golly I hope I can see y'all when you hit Jacksonville 😉
Will be our pleasure
Made my Day like everyday
Thanks for watching
This was my 1st time cooking an egg in a cast iron skillet and I’m amazed that my egg didn’t stick! Thanks for your help! ❤
“Might even lay an egg but ain’t gonna” 😂😂😩😩😩 he’s truly the 🐐
GM Kent and Shannon. Boy Kent, you r so, so, funny man . I know how to already fry an egg however, I enjoy watching you , you r very entertaining. Yes man you really r. God bless the both of you and have a blessed weekend 😊
Thank you for watching and God bless you as well
Just some thoughts on lids for cast iron pans.
Most cast iron skillets don't come with a lid, although with some brands they do, and some others you can get a lid for extra money. If you have a cast iron dutch oven the lid might fit a skillet too. If so, heat up the pan with the lid on so it'll be hot - and make sure to wipe it dry after using it, since it will get condensation on it, even if you don't use the water on the eggs.
I like to heat up my skillet on low until the handle is hot - that way you know the pan is saturated with heat, and won't have any uneven areas. Once it's all warmed up you can turn up the heat and it will get hotter real quick and it will be even with no hot spots.
Go to a thrift shop and look for a lid to fit your skillet, if you don't have one that fits. There's usually a bin or box of orphan lids in the kitchen section. I have a collection of old-style Revere Ware (the newer version is no good) and the lids fit the same size cast-iron real well. A glass lid is good because you can see what's going on without lifting the lid, but be careful to look for cracks or chips, because they can cause a pretty dramatic result known as "Oh schlitz, the lid exploded".
Any time you use a lid on cast iron, do NOT leave it on the pan after cooking - it will have moisture condensed on the underside, and if you leave it on, it can run down into the pan and even on a well-seasoned pan may cause a rust spot. This is especially true with Revere Ware or other stainless-steel lids - I got a rust ring around the top of one of my cast-iron pans where the lid touched the pan, from leaving the lid on.
Thanks for your videos, they are always good and it's a treat to see someone with such a positive view on life. 99.99999% of the internet is just trash these days - but your fine family reminds us that we can be neighbors from all around the world.
I knew that someone who stayed out with the wagons like you have would know how to fry eggs in cast iron. You SHOW us your savvy, and it’s greatly appreciated.
I thought I knew how to cook an egg in a cast iron and over a "fire" propane stove. Well I tried this new way and I love it. My first egg I cooked over medium but second and third cooked perfect. I really like this way of egg cooking. I have watched about 20 or so of cowboy kitchen and have pulled something from each video. Kent & Shannon are the best! Keep those video coming. Thank you
Great tips and a terrific new series.
"How do you like your eggs?"
"Don't know, haven't had 'em yet."
Thanks for watching
My favorite egg is a good old baptized egg. Baptizing in what you might ask, bacon grease.
Amen!
Did know most of this. A true good cook is someone who can cook the basics. I'm sold on you from watching two videos. Plus Iove the antics and the dogs.
.
Love your channel guys, you make my day. Cheers from Gold Coast Australia!!
Yahooo cowboy, that's one good luukkin' fried egg partner
i was watching phyllis stokes son steven cook a fried egg he said once it "set" you flip it and gentley touch the egg yolk for firmness as to how you want it ..runny / med/ well done;];];] it works;];];]
I am glad you guys have stuck to this program. Thank you
Kent needs to have his own show on tv.
Yep, that Wardway will cook an egg perfect every time.
Good luck with your egg laying Mr. Rollins. I scored some cast iron skillets. They need some work though. I have watched your vids on it and feel good about getting the job done. Thanks for the info and direction on cooking over easy. God bless you sir! 🥚 🍳 Yummy
Thanks for watching and God bless you
Thank you so much!!!
my friend; regards from Argentina!
You are welcome and Thank you for watching
Just found your channel this week. Can’t believe I’ve been missing watching till now. Great recipes. Thanks from Boise Idaho!
Those dance moves are epic.
