Funny that the scrambled eggs you green screen behind him at the end are the exact opposite of what he's describing as the desired result.
dooder you can use forks on professional non-stick pans. It's only on cheap home teflon pans that you cannot use them.
All non stick pans have a longer life if you avoid metal tools, ceramic as well as teflon. Cheaper pans become ruined more quickly, but they all last way longer when you don't use forks or similar.
Obviously, the desire results are different for each person.
Adam Ragusea if you could do a scrambled egg video I’d lose my mind
You should do a cooking eggs video adam
I like how the picture behind him at the end is exactly the type of eggs he said he didn't like.
It isn’t though are you blind?
I agree, it was small bits of egg. Not what he described.
Lol
@@DanBlabbers lol no it wasn't he specifically said you dont want small bits of egg broken up.
He said they should be fluffy. The ones they are showing don't look very fluffy to me
Funny the pictures eggs in the pan behind AB is exactly the opposite of what he described. Those are shit over-cooked prison eggs.
+cato Actually, I thought the eggs in that picture looked a lot like buttered popcorn....not good!
I think its because he's giving a description in an interview and someone else is putting together the video after the fact using stock clips
Fanboys 😂
Dude, thanks for so many entertaining shows!! I love your passion for great food.
What a man of integrity, who was willing to listen to the people of Gaza when nobody else would. ❤
They're best with a bit of sour cream added to the mix. I learnt that from Ralphie in the Sopranos.
Same! Bourdain does it in another video; surprised he doesn't mention it here
I once cooked an omelette for a friend of mine and she liked the fact that she could see this ripple of white and yellow pattern. And she was a much more experienced cook than I would ever be. But I like to add some sliced green onion beside salt. The simpler the tastier.
my favorite way to scramble eggs is to crack them right into the hot butter,
and then stir them so you get definite bits of white and yolk,
cook them so they are barely still wet, season them at the table.
Anthony Bourdain: my hero here on UA-cam when it comes to cook really good scrambled eggs and that`s all you have to know for making good scambled eggs on you own, it`s all no rocket science, it`s only "all about the egg" and nothing more.
For me it`s only a love relationship, because that's exactly how my mother taught me as a child and I never made scrambled eggs any other way and everyone always enjoyed it.
Sometimes I also fry some small pieces of raw ham, sliced mushrooms and a small chopped onion in an etxra pan, which everyone can then add over the scrambled eggs according to their own taste. I mostly serve scrambled eggs on lightly pan-fried bread slices.
Most scrambled eggs I see here on UA-cam are too muddy and pale for my liking, they always look like they are only half finished to me.
I've only ever seen scrambled eggs that look like this at breakfast buffets in hotels for mass tourism or in fast-food restaurants, so always where everything has to go quickly, but never in my local breakfast cafes or in people's homes when I was invited.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. The man was brilliant. We lost a Great Soul when we lost him.
Best scrambled eggs I've ever eaten was at a military convention. Absolutely everything that was served was the best food made from scratch. I think they brought in special cooks for that event. It was amazing.
"Like most simple things ppl have a tendency to complicate them and screw them up"
AKA Life.
RIP Anthony
could not agree more about not adding milk or cream.
Great advice Sir!!!!!! RIP Mr. Bourdain!!!!!!
Love Anthony. Also, while it's not the same method as described here, there's a simple and lovely way that one of the brothers cooks eggs in the last five and half minutes of the movie, Big Night. It's a great scene.
This is great- pretty much how I do them. I just came from a Ramsey video where he makes a disgusting creamy mush with the consistency of a wet custard. All too common in the UK. Bourdain was right- it is about the egg, and it shouldn’t be complicated. Too bad he is no longer with us.
R.I.P.❤
I like the British method. First, use a saucepan. Second, LOTS of butter. Third, mix the eggs as Bourdain says, but I find a little heavy cream makes for a nicer texture. Fourth, stir with a spoon, continously, immediately. Last, stop just when they are a bit wetter than you like-they keep cooking. Creamy but fluffy, delicious tasting eggs everytime.
Is that a tan or was he fried in olive oil until golden brown?
I think the most important thing for cooking an egg well is a good non stick pan, preferably ceramic. Use that, and it's pretty hard to mess up eggs.
Scrambled eggs is the only thing my Dad could cook, when he was drunk
We completely and utterly fail as beings if we require this type of instruction from a non-family member! I've been making this since I was single digit aged you know, since yesterday! What's next, a $2K multi-day seminar for the procurement, creation and enjoyment of toast? 😎
Something I learned from Delia is to take your eggs off the pan before they're finished cooking. The residual heat will continue to cook them after you plate it up. That way you get nice soft eggs rather than a crumbled up omelette.
Gotta love that Gordon Ramsay diss at the end
I miss him 😢
He is 100% right about making scrambled eggs......RIP Tony
My favorite way is Asian style which I find the most challenging. You'll over cook it so many times until you get it just right.
I do them in a cast iron pan. Do what he said until the liquid has 'set' into a solid. Then bunch the eggs up according to your preferred surface area/volume ratio. You then let the eggs continue to cook until they _just_ begin to brown. That's the 'Asian part'. Let that side continue to brown for another 4-12 seconds, then flip and do the same for the other side (or not). Very easy to go from light-golden-brown to way-too-brown, so use your nose.
If they're too dry, then add cream and kosher salt. But then they're not Asian at all, but that juicy interior really compliments that crisp brown exterior.
Psst: Add an extra yolk for every 3-4 whole eggs in your scramble batch. It's awesome.
LAY Off for heavens sake. He was and did the best of the best. RIP
Just let that sink in. Beat the egg no cr
"I don't add milk or cream; it's about the egg". >proceeds to add a load of butter
Perfect explanation. Now I know I'm beating it too much.😅
Love you Tony B. From the heart.
Miss this guy. I bet he would make a hell of an eggs & bacon.
Love you so much rest in peace I'm still trying to learn how to make a perfect Scrambled egg
Rest in Peace Anthony. 😭😭😭
What's with the subtitles? Speaking pretty clearly.
deztroyer76 it's for some people who don't speak obama
Rafaellm ok l Artiga Ain't dat da truf.
I'm guessing this is meant to be posted on facebook, where it plays without sound by default. This way people are still drawn to watch it.
deztroyer76 maybe deaf people want to learn too...
Franklin Blankenship Then they can turn on closed captioning for the hearing impaired.
Personally I like to add some minced garlic to the butter and let it cook for a minute or two before I throw the eggs in
My wife makes the fluffiest most delicious scrambled eggs on the planet. I’ve tried so hard to emulate her and mine are always flat!
looks like Tony has been using the Cinco Eye Tanning system. Hes a tan man, fully tan.
Just cut a nice fart into them if you want them airy. My mother-in-law loves my scrambled eggs.
Exactly.
Cant believe this guy is gone, but the eggs are gud shit
I miss you 😭
I agree it's all about the egg. Never liked ordering scrambled eggs at a restaurant, because they add milk and cheese.
You forgot the most important part - do NOT over cook. Dry eggs are terrible
god isn't real
burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrritooooo!
god is dead
Once i went to soft, creamy scrambled eggs, I never went back.
Best way to hit Bourdain with a frying pan: oops, too late.
What's the best heat settings?
hot but not too terribly hot lol
There is no perfect heat setting with each you'd have different outcome.
Medium to medium low... you can use higher when feeling confident with it,
biggest sacrilege IMHO is overcooking a silly scrambled eggs.
Also over stirring it, you can only do that if you intend to have smooth paste.
This is a simple dish that can be very hard to do exceptionally well
because it requires full attention and control of every second that happens in the pan.
As low as possible. Eggs hate agressive heat. It takes far more time, but the end result is worth it.
I'd argue, if you use very low heat it's difficult to set eggs evenly.
Like a really aggressive medium heat? Or maybe a super normal setting? How about a really, really hot low heat?
I'd like to find his video on how you make a glass of water.
That's way overcooked
Charles Kuhn His face?
Agree ! He doesn't know a fuck about cooking eggs. This is typical of american diner cooking style.
You sure that that isn't just some stock image tech insider used, I'm pretty sure I didn't see him actually cook them ;)
Charles Kuhn there are just random photos from the internet he didn't cook them dumbass
Charles Kuhn dried rubber eggs
anto looks like Darth "Maul" Bourbain. he actually over cooked himself
well done for sure
So many people watching this video expecting to find the Holy Grail of scrambled eggs and end up disappointed at Tony. No, you're just setting your viewing standards too high.
Stop telling me how to do things
"Stop telling me how to do things" If you don't want to be told how to do things then why do you watch UA-cam videos that tell you how to do things? Are you really that stupid.
Why would you come to an instructional video and get butt hurt about receiving instruction?
fuck you steve brule stupid yolk ass head ass
I beat my eggs like he said, not over beaten, watch for shells, use UNSALTED butter, and kosher chunky salt with fresh cracked green peppercorns. but that's just me.
That looks fuckin horrible. Scrambled eggs aren't supposed to be solid.
To bad Gordon Ramsay doesn't cook eggs like you. R.I.P Chef.
He cooked the eggs but he was the one who got burnt.
this dude been all around the world eating all sorts and all he shares to make is SCRAMBLED EGGS????
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ RIP ....
Escoffier added a little cream to slow the cooking process, 'dragging' the eggs from edge to edge . . . the key was slowing the cooking down, lowering the heat, and then just the residual heat of the pan . . . really superior scrambled eggs, but Bourdain's technique works fine.
A very different and more open minded than the strict Ramsay version.. attaboy Tony!
How I make mine. Miss you man.
American style love it. RIP
Another trick is to not cook them fast. Cook them slow on low heat. You'll get a lot of the flavor out.
Team Gordon for life. Creme does add a lot to the egg.
Still miss Anthony Bourdain… 💔
i use to eat them like this... until i tried gordon ramsays recipe for scrambled eggs , havent looked back sence!
Looks like Anthony pulled a Ross Geller with the spray tan and got himself a 12.
REPLY
Rest In Peace mr bourdain
rest in peace Anthoney
Rest In Peace pretty Tony #CGE
Tried to watch this on MSN and it wouldn't load. Hilarious that UA-cam plays immediately what takes tens of seconds to load on MSN.
"You don't want tiny little bits of egg as your final product."
Shows picture of tiny little bits of egg as final product...
I miss this dude. He was so real. R.I.P my brother.
At least we still have Asia Argento🤪
@@badlaamaurukehu 👎👎👎
News flash. You didn’t know him to miss hin
The first time I saw him on tv I knew he was special. I miss him very much too because he was my favorite.
1:31 get your goddamn metal utensil out of my motherfucking teflon pan.
Marauder1981 lmao good one
What Doth Life stainless steel for the win
Aluminum Ion pans you filthy casuals....
What Doth Life no no the Teflon is just Flavors!
Teflon? Aluminum Ion? Black iron skillet.. anything else is uncivilized.
Would have been a better video if he actually cooked his scrambled eggs in front of us so we can actually see what he's talking about lol
I don't think I've ever actually seen him cook anything. He just seems to get paid to go around eating things and talking about them.
Troy Brophy He actually graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and was a professional chef for many years before venturing into world-travel and eating shows =)
Yeah, I was being somewhat sarcastic, although I've personally never watched any of the shows where he does any cooking.
Troy Brophy He has done some cooking in some of the CNN segments that he has with Anderson Cooper. You can easily search for it on youtube. But yes, his shows are mainly about food and travel, and less about actual cooking. =) And sorry, I've been told that I'm not good at detecting sarcasm in its written form. ;)
Naomi Nguyen he doesn't like Anthony due to the donald effect
R.I.P.... the culinary world will dearly miss you..
Except for the numerous great chefs that he lambasted due to envy. Short order cooks get no respect.
So true we miss him
@@matsmith5937 ummm no, he will be missed, just not by hateful ppl like yourself :)
This is exactly the way I taught myself to do scrambled eggs and even my mom told me I do them better than her. :) As he said, don't beat them to death, season with salt and pepper and cook in them in butter. That's all scrambled eggs need.
But wait to add the salt till they're done. Salts makes them runny while cooking.
@@ryanleblanc6817 Must not have much of an effect because mine end up fluffy and moist.
Damn literally just watched this vid a few days ago. RIP
some real 2nd rate content. Instead of watching him cook we get to watch archive footage combined with him talking in a studio. Just so they could churn out multiple videos without much setup or studio time.
A rare genius talent. I miss the hell out if Tony. Wish there were more like him!
There are lots and lots of people just like him. They just aren’t driven to be popular and even if they are they aren’t as lucky as bordain was. (99% of fame is luck. Talent is as common as hen’s beaks)
"People find a way to over complicate them and screw them up."
He's talking about Gordon Ramsey.
And yet Ramsay is the best chef in the world.
Nope, he's talking about Heston Blumenthal
Ramsey’s scrambled eggs recipe is now how most chefs cooks their eggs 🥚 🍳 (British way) Ridiculously light, a fluffy & fluorescent texture lightly seasoned at the end finished with chives & creme fraiche. Americans like their eggs overcooked (it’s subjective) Try it ?
@@theoutlaw5806 naw, we just don't like them gay
@@dubsbarry9963
But your Gay ? So it makes perfect sense ?
Gay eggs, Gay man ?
(Not that I’m homophobic at all !)
But each to their own Baz eh ? Just the way you like em ? The eggs I mean.......
gee hope the final photo ain't the egg he's describing... more like egg bits
its litteraly the opposite of what he described
Ever since doing them the Ramsey way, I'm never looking back. Them shits delicious.
HATE! Ramsey's way, its the french way, i want scrambled eggs, not creamy custard.....but hey personal preference yo, tis all good :)
The Ramsay way is good, but it gives me the shits.
I dont like it that way either, mine are soft and buttery but not almost lumpy pudding like the way the french/ramsey enjoy it.
The BEST!!!
Ramsey makes everything into a big stupid rock concert... I don't think its better, I think its a hassle.
Gordon Ramsay has left the chat.
Haha!
Yes... don't over-complicate simple scrambled eggs. No milk, no cream, no caviar, no additional olive oil... I love it that he says we aren't making quiche!!! Love it. Perfect.
Additional? I'm portuguese and butter in scrambled eggs is kinda weird. Olive oil is what we use to not let it stick to the pan.
I miss Anthony with his stark unhappiness in your face, no apologies.
RIP Tony. I miss this man more than most “celebrities.” He did good for our world.
tony died???
@@Wyndex He was found hanging in a hotel back in like 2016. It was either suicide or accidental death by auto asphyxiation.
@@Wyndex Yeah, dude committed suicide a few years back. Tragic.
@@NUNYABIZNNAAAZZZ what you mean
@@ryanleblanc6817 how tf do you accidentaly hang yourself
I love his narrative, perspectives and guidance on food. But when I learned that he was a smoker, it made me stop and think. I smoked for 10 years in my 20s, when I stopped, I discovered that smoking had destroyed my sense of taste and smell during those 10 years. Now, when I meet a smoker, they reek of nicotine, which makes me wonder how on earth a cook who smokes could smell or taste food.
I think (0:39) comes down to personal preference. I personally like my eggs perfectly blended, and the idea of having evenly distributed whites and yellows is not for me. It's almost like two different flavors constantly competing for your taste buds' attention. So, the 'homogeneous yellow mix' as he describes it is actually perfect for me. I do agree with his other tips though.
nothing worse than snotty white parts in the scrambled egg
I agree.
Rest in Peace Anthony Burdain We Love Youu!💚😭😭
Love this man and everything he has done. Great job anthony! You have inspired, even with the simple things in life 👌👍 rest in peace brotha
You love EVERYTHING he has done? Including taking his own life?
In his last few days, he texted his ex wife that he hated his fans, just so you know...
@@billymacktexasdetective5827 Shut up.
R.I.P. Anthony Bourdain 😔
so basically put the egg in the pan and scramble it? Holy shit we've been doing it wrong.
stay tuned, next week Bourdain's video will be on toast.
stop pretending that cooking egg is some god given ability. you could oversimplify cooking a steak as well by saying its just putting it onto a grill. Making GOOD scrambled eggs is something that you need to be shown by someone who actually knows their shit, and is sometimes the mark of a good chef.
BodyRights that's the way Anthony likes it. he likes it simple. nothing wrong with that. And k sorta agree with him
Scrambled eggs are about technique, if you mix them just right they come out fluffy and soft, if you over mix or over cook them even a little they turn hard and lumpy. Alot of people (like martha stuart types) tend to try and add fair trade, locally sourced, vegan Parmesan and grass fed, organic Malaysian tofu and shit like that and they massivly over complicated a simple dish. I used to do that but when i started doing them like the french and english chefs they turned out much better.
Like Tony said, it's a simple dish but it can just as easily get ruined by either overlooking basic technique or by overcomplicated additions.
This is the way. You don’t need to add creamy stuff or anything to eggs. Pan, butter, salt, pepper. That’s all that is necessary.
As in life, the simpler the better. Keep it to the basics. May he Rest in Peace.
I can't stand the way Gordon Ramsay makes eggs. His scrambled eggs are creamy liquid mush.
Anthony Bourdains Parts Unknown was one of my favorite shows to watch
I fully agree on not adding milk/cream to scrambled eggs. Egg is way better when it's just EGG
You cook eggs the way you like them, Simple as that.
I like to eat them cooked still inside the chicken. Simple as that.
