    Thanks for this video and the others! I spent the evenings last week watching and learning. My 9” De Buyer omelette pan arrived today. I seasoned it with potato skins, then made some chips (fries) with the spuds I’d peeled and quickly did the fried egg test. Perfect chips and egg. Love the pan and think it will replace my small cast iron skillet as my go-to egg pan. 👍🏼

    Excellent video.
    I've been cooking on cast iron but decided to add 2 carbon steel pans. I now have a Lodge that I smoothed down that is bigger for searing steaks and a small DeBuyer for eggs.
    I have seasoned both carbon pans very nicely and did a 3 egg scramble in the DeBuyer. Turned out great with just a few stuck pieces. The fried egg I did however stuck badly and after watching this, I have come to the conclusion that it was too hot. I kinda knew it also but put the egg in anyways. Lesson learned.

    I've been experimenting with cooking eggs in carbon steel and learned something very important. In order to get the eggs to slide around like hockey pucks, the pan has to be properly seasoned AND you have to use the correct size burner. You want the flame or heat to be centered at the bottom of the pan, and not climbing up the sides of the pan.

  • @johnwilmott8063
    @johnwilmott8063 2 роки тому

    Thanks Scott, mostly use butter or a butter/oil combination myself, when higher cooking tempratures are not required. Although i have come across ghee [clarified butter] recently in my local store, [haven't made it since i trained as a chef]. Same consistency and texture as butter just has a higher smoke point, and handles higher tempratures better than standard butter.

    I've always had trouble frying eggs in my 12" Lodge Carbon Steel skillet. I watched this video last night and decided to give it a try this morning. I used my smallest gas burner and waited for the skillet to come up to temp. Then I added the butter and waited for the snap, crackle, pop to subside. Then I gently laid out two eggs and waited for the bottoms to set. Then I gave the pan a slight jiggle and the eggs took off like the puck on an air hockey game surface. They turned out perfect with solid whites, runny yolks, and no brown or crisp edges. Thanks for posting this video. You've taught me patience.

    • @UncleScottsKitchen

  • @peetsnort
    @peetsnort 4 роки тому +3

    You have helped me tremendously. I have listened about the electronic plates. I have just slid my eggs like marbles on ice. I used the electric plate and let the temperature get even with the olive oil in from the beginning. PATIENCE is not one of my virtues.
    Basically it's about the oil creating a living blanket to separate the albumin/egg white from grabbing the steel. It is less to do with the seasoning. The only way to explain is how macaroni noodles sticks to the bottom of the pot when the water is not roiling and boiling hot. No seasoning in bottom of the stainless steel pot. Same goes for rice. The bubbles push the grains away from the metal. So in a nutshell it's about patience and waiting for the pan to reach optimum temperature
    I thank you for taking the time to make the video

  • @Kathy-ie9lt
    @Kathy-ie9lt 4 місяці тому

    My son bought me two De Buyer carbon steel pans for Christmas. I have never had one before and didn't know anything about them. I watched many videos on seasoning these pans, and after I had the successful egg test., I stumbled onto this video. I followed what you did in the video and I was able to make myself a perfect gooey yolk egg. Just wanted to say thank you for the video and how you teach people the concept of listening to the butter. It's the little details like this that really help people get great results. If someone had just said , "heat the pan, add butter and add eggs" .... well, they would have cooked eggs with the results like your sister had. But because you explain what you should see with the butter when added to the pan, and then the waiting for the crackling to stop before adding the eggs, and explaining that the crackling noise is the water evaporating ... it's all just good information. After watching, I tried and got a perfectly cooked egg. And my egg was almost straight from the fridge. But as I read some comments that asked about that and you answered that it's best to have them out of the fridge for about 20 minutes, I'll do that from now on. Sorry so long, but I just really appreciated this video and will subscribe and will be checking out your other video's. Thank you, you're a good teacher.

    I learned all these lessons the hard way (maybe the only way to learn these) many years ago. I was putting in my egg at too great a height and I noticed the initial point of contact always stuck but the sides did not. Figured the force of the inbound egg was displacing too much oil, so I dialed down the splash and the eggs was fine after that. Using a teacup though...now there's a great idea! I think I'm gonna start doing that.

    I have seen so many different ways to season a carbon steel pan, in oven method , potato skins method, bluing method etc.. I will probably use the technique recommended for the potato skins. Our goal is to get rid of our flaking , chipping teflon pans.
    What is your opinion on the bluing method?

    Try the carnivore or zero to low carb diet - you can eat as many eggs as you want and lots of butter, saturated fats and all the meat, fish, poultry you want. Never have to fast, never hungry and those carby cravings disappear. I've lost 55 pounds in 8 months. That's why I started looking for an alternative frying pan to the non-stick and cast iron pans I have (which stick) because most of my food is now fried or roasted. Dr Ken Berry is a good place to start to learn more.
    I bought a Mineral B on your recommendation. Have just seasoned it and now it's cooling. Why do you keep a separate pan for eggs if the pans are so good? Many thanks. You look good with your weight loss.

Anyhow everything sticks. I have a gas stove. I’m thinking that it’s a heat thing I’m not getting right. Will you please do a video focusing on temperature? You lightly touch on this. All videos focus on how to season properly but none focus on heat except for you. Sorry for rambling. Your videos are awesome. Thank you very much.

    • @UncleScottsKitchen
      @UncleScottsKitchen  2 роки тому

      Thanks, Grace! For sticking food, this is always one of the things that trips people up early on. Assuming the pan is seasoned OK, it's usually a pretty simple fix. I can't remember which video it was in, but in one of them I showed frying some okra and the first batch stuck so I turned up the heat a little and the second batch slid around non-stick. For me, sticking food is USUALLY just not having the pan hot enough. So you can try heating it a little longer and/or at a little higher temp. Now if you are already cooking at a really high temp, that can cause sticking too, in which case just do the opposite and use a little cooler pan. Figure out if you are cooking too hot or too cold. Also make sure you have enough fat... for eggs I use butter, but for other frying just about any normal cooking oil will do: veggie, canola, olive, etc etc. And the last thing to check is the temp of the food you are adding to the pan. If you take it directly from the fridge and it's ALMOST ice cold (my fridge is at 34 F), it can stick too. You can let your food warm up 20 minutes or so before cooking too. If that doesn't help, ping me again and we'll figure something out.

    Thank you for this video. I either had my pan too hot or too cold. This video showed how to get it right. I have a De Buyer 11" and love it. Or I should say will love it much better now!
    I'm using a portable induction cooktop and love it. Have you ever used a lid to help disperse the heat more evenly across the pan? IMO it helps a lot and helps cook the top of the food (set the eggs). I've been using non-stick aluminum with the encapsulated base (magnetic). The temp settings for this carbon steel pan is all different. Takes much less heat (digital readout on temp). Like learning all over again.
    I watched a video from someone else and they claim you can put the coated handle De Buyer in the oven to season it. What will happen is the handle coating will burn off and then you can use it in the oven like the stainless steel handle ones. Can you confirm this? Would be great.

    Hi, I have recently discovered your channel as I am not happy with my non stick pans and consider switching to carbon steel De Buyer. I hope it's possible to decently cook fish filet without skin (fat and non fat) in these kind of pans, I find little videos about this subject. What is your take on this? Thank you for all the nice content.

      I remember when Teflon first came out and it was marketed showing an egg skating around a dry pan like Dorothy Hamill. No oil! Yea! We're all gonna be skinny again. How's that working out for America? My current theory is that Teflon is fattening. It's filled with Dark Calories. Scientists can't find'em but they're there.

      @@UncleScottsKitchen Some people have converted their cars to run on used restaurant fryer oil. It makes your exhaust smell like french fries, seriously. Since no engine is 100% clean burning, there must be some residual oil carried along with the exhaust fumes. So, you're right, there must be calories in the air. Note to self: stop breathing; lose weight.

    Hi Uncle Scott! I know this is an older video, so I'm not sure if you'll see this but I've got two questions for you!
    1. I love butter, but I've gotten really into using avocado oil for my fried eggs (currently just in a non-stick, but my Matfer arrives tomorrow). I know oil doesn't crackle the way butter does. Is there an oil version of the butter test, so you know when it's at the proper temp?
    2. If, after you fry your eggs, you don't see any food particles left over in the pan and the oil isn't burned (another reason I like avocado oil), is it okay to just leave the oil in there overnight to reuse for another day or two, or will that mess up the seasoning? I don't mind having a decent layer of oil in my pan when I cook, I'm just trying to use/waste less.
    Thanks so much for all of your incredibly helpful videos!

      @@UncleScottsKitchen awesome! I'll be looking out for it. I got my pan and seasoned it following your instructions, and it's been a fantastic so far. Yesterday I think I left the pan get a little too hot before I put my eggs in and they stuck pretty badly. I actually decided to get a laser/ infrared thermometer to use while i'm learning the pan. So my third question for you would be, do you by chance know your ideal pan/oil temp for adding eggs? Thanks!

    Not sure where I went wrong but my eggs essentially welded themselves to the pan. I used your oven seasoning method and was encouraged by the nice even bronze color I had achieved. Next morning. I was careful to get a nice moderate heat on the pan before adding my avocado oil and eggs. Got a nice sizzle but not crazy sputtering as if overheated. I wonder if the avocado oil may be to blame.

      What do you think of that Matfer? Pretty darn huge? I will look into a thermometer...it's on the list. I'd give a caveat on the hot pan idea... some things cook better if you start them in a cold pan. I did a video on cooking bacon in carbon steel. If you put cold bacon in a hot carbon steel pan, it often sticks, but if you start it in the pan cold and then turn on the burner, it renders and releases and doesn't stick.

    Hey Uncle Scott, great videos! Thanks for making them, they’ve been a tremendous help. If I may offer/request a few video suggestions. 1) Things NOT to cook in carbon steel (made sausage and peppers in mine recently, left the peppers in too long, and it stripped some of the seasoning.) 2) how to cook a burger in a carbon steel skillet (passed egg test, burgers still sticking 3) What temp(s) food should be at before beginning cooking (I know you’ve made several videos where you mentioned pan temp,but didn’t see anything on food temp) 4) different fats/food combinations to use (butter, olive oil, lard, grape seed oil, etc) ..............these are just some things I thought of, feel free to use, forget, or tweak in any way!

    After cooking an egg or omelet in a well seasoned skillet, would you just wipe the skillet with a clean cloth or would pour some hot water in it first, then wipe clean and apply a light coat of oil after it cooled?

  • @darymetal
    @darymetal Рік тому +1

    One important thing to note however is that you will never be able to cook in Carbon Steel with low amount of fats, nor should you even try.
    If that is important to you, stick with non-stick.
    Doesn't matter how good your seasoning is, it WILL stick every single time if the temperature is too low and/or you haven't used enough fat.

    Good video, only one issue that I'm hoping you can help with. I'm allergic to dairy and am trying to find a way to cook eggs in my new skillet. I normally use coconut oil to cook with. First seasoning and then a fry this morning yielded stuck eggs.
    Previously to tell if oil was hot enough I would drip a drop of water into the oil and watch it spatter. Do you think this method would work?

    • @UncleScottsKitchen
      @UncleScottsKitchen  4 роки тому +1

      Most of the time when people have a new pan and are having trouble with eggs, it's probably that you just have to adjust your egg technique for carbon steel. Your seasoning is probably just fine. One tip is to let your eggs warm up for 20 minutes or so out of the fridge. Also, I did a video on cooking eggs in carbon steel that might help: ua-cam.com/video/zURrWH5TjUU/v-deo.html

    I have always used a laser thermometer and on non stick pans I would add the butter at 350 degrees, the temp that butter start to brown. My first attempt cooking on carbon steel the temp was to hot at 350, I'll keep trying. Could you please try using something like the laser thermometer so we could have an idea about what the actual temp of your pan is?

    • @UncleScottsKitchen
      @UncleScottsKitchen  4 роки тому +1

      I will try it and see how it goes. On a gas stove, the temp keeps rising, so often once I get the eggs in and they start sliding around, I turn the heat down some.
