I obviously know how to crack open an egg and put it in the frying pan if any of you were gonna tell me to crack an egg first before you cook it! I just want to know how to cook both scrambled and friend eggs, not like at the same time. Just directions and all. I'm only 13, and i want to know how to cook so that way i can know how to take care of myself.

Place a small non-stick frying pan over the lowest possible heat on your stove (if using gas, you should barely see the blue flame.)



Add the butter and let slowly melt, making sure it doesn't foam and is not sizzling.



When all the butter has melted, crack the egg into a small bowl, dish, or saucer (taking care not to break the yolk and to remove any shell fragments).



Gently slide the egg off the dish into the frying pan and cover with a lid.



Continue cooking approximately 5 minutes until the egg white solidifies from transparency into snow-white cream; the yolk will thicken slightly as it heats. How quickly the egg cooks is dependent on how low you have the heat.



Do not flip the eggs but leave the egg sunny-side up and natural.



When your egg is done, slide cooked egg onto a serving plate; sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper, salt, and serve.





Basic Fried Eggs:



Heat a non-stick skillet (or a regular skillet greased with a small amount of butter, margarine, or cooking oil) at medium heat until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Or use a regular skillet and add a small amount of butter or oil.



Break eggs and gently slip into the skillet.



Immediately reduce heat to low.



Cook slowly until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard (turning eggs gently to cook both sides or adding a small amount of water and covering with lid to cook tops of eggs). Season with salt and pepper as desired.





Steam-Fried Eggs:



Reduce butter to just enough to grease pan or use light coating of cooking spray and/or nonstick pan. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, heat butter until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.



Break and slip eggs into pan.



Immediately reduce heat to low.



Cook until edges turn white, about 1 minutes.



Add 1 teaspoon water (for more eggs, decrease proportion slightly for each additional egg being cooked). Cover pan tightly with lid to hold in steam.



Cook until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Remove from pan and season as desired.

Eggs are my favorite! To make scrambled eggs, break two eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk or water, and break the yolks with a fork. Once the whites are yolks are combined, pour the mixture into a hot frying pan and allow it to harden a little bit on the bottom. With a wooden spoon, break up the cooked eggs and stir it around the pan. Right before the eggs are entirely cooked, turn off the heat and serve (the eggs will keep cooking even after you turn the head off).

For fried eggs, put a bit of butter on a hot frying pan, crack the eggs in the pan, and allow the whites to harden (they turn white as opposed to clear). If you want, you can let the whites cook all the way and serve the egg sunny side up, or you can flip the whole egg over to make sure the whites are completely cooked.

Scrambled is so easy, Get a fork a deep bowl and some fresh eggs, crack them in the bowl, add a little milk or water, and scramble them until they are thick and lemon colored. Get a small teflon skillet, and just enough butter to coat the sides and bottom. Use medium heat, and when the butter is melted, add the eggs. Do not stir, just lift them by sections and let the liquid eggs run down onto the now bare skillet Keep doing this until they are just damp.

And when you scramble, the sky is the limit of things you can add to them. You can just add the ingredients and have flavored eggs, or make an omelet. Ham and cheese or bacon and cheese is good. Taco flavorings and ingredients[just not the lettuce] are good . You can even at the last minute put broken up taco chips in it, or load the eggs into a taco shell, or even a burrito. Think Taco Bell's breakfast burrito.

I saute a bit of fresh onion in butter, then scramble the egg, then add bacon and cheese.

Mushroom is good, saute fresh sliced mushrooms, drain off the liquid into the eggs, scrambled that, and add it to the mushrooms. Yum.

To make an omelet, use a small teflon pan, put in the butter, scramble the eggs and put it in the pan. Keep lifting the eggs until just the top is soft, then quick add the fixings on 1/2 the round, and fold over the plain 1/2 on the 1/2 with the fixings. Be careful not to overcook the bottom and have your fixings ready to add.

Pre-cooked chicken and broccoli and swiss cheese, and on and on.

Do you know how to boil and egg? Use a pan that is small and deep. Use an old one that you do not care if the chemicals in the eggs stain it. I bought a aluminum one at Walmart years ago, and I use that. Have a lid ready. Put the cold eggs in cold water and make sure the water covers the eggs at least 1 inch over them. Turn on the heat to medium high, and bring the eggs to a full rolling boil. That means all the water is boiling heavily all over. Turn off the heat, remove the pan, and cover it tightly. Let the eggs set for 15-20 minutes. Take the pan to the sink, and turn on the cold water full blast to stop the cooking, and run it a minute or so. Leave the eggs in the water and stick the whole pan into the refrigerator. When cool take them out of the water and back into the refrigerator. The trick is not to do too many at a time, I would not do more than 5 or 6 in the pan at one time.

Uses for boiled eggs are infinite, dice them for chicken or tuna or ham salad or potato salad, make deviled eggs, eat them plain, cut them up into some white gravy and serve on toast, and on and on.

Eggs:- Scrambled

3 Eggs.

2 tsp. Milk.

Butter the pan and heat until the butter melts.

Pour egg yolks into a bowl and scramble into a liquid (must be completely yellow).

Whisk the whites until they are fluffy.

Combine milk with eggs and scramble until mixed.

Gently fold in the whites.

When the butter is melted in the pan, add eggs and stir gently.

Stop for 5 seconds and stir again. When you see little scrambled eggs in the pan and stir until no liquid is in the pan (all scrambled).





Fried Eggs.

I have a small good quality frypan that I pre heat at no more than 4 on the hotplate.

Add a knob of butter and as it sizzles swirl it around in the pan.

Crack the egg and place it on a saucer and slide the egg into the pan.

Cook until the white has solidified and as soon as there is sight of a bubble in the yolk slide it out.

To start with you must heat up the frying pan up with oil or butter or bacon drippings on lmed. heat but this after you have cracked the eggs into a bowl and then if you are doing the fried eggs, crack as many eggs as you want then put them in the heated pan. If you want sunny side up cook till the whites are done or if you want you can flip them over and you can have over med. or if you cook them longer once you flip them then you can have over hard.

Same goes for the scrambled eggs crack them into a bowl whip them up and put them in the heated pan and stir around till all is cooked and salt and pepper to tast.

To cook scrambled eggs, you got to break the egg and empty the white and the yolk into a bowl. Then, take a fork and start whipping the mixture until it is solid yellow. Then,put it on the pan and fry it until it is solid. But remember, you always need to put oil on the pan before cooking eggs, otherwise it would stick. I never cooked fried eggs, so I honestly don't know how to specifically.

You will be able to shock your family if you ever cook for them, try just for your self first.



3 eggs

1/4 cup milk

2 slices of american cheese

2 tablespoons of butter





fry on medium heat with a fork mixing while it is frying all the ingredients together you will have very fluffy scrambled eggs. You can fry your eggs on Medium heat with real butter or a little shortening or olive oil is better for you, when the eggs are turning white turn them over to over cook or your yolk will turn hard. Turn the stove off when your done.

to make the best scrambled eggs, I crack three eggs in a pyrex bowl whip them, add some a dash of milk, cream and grated cheese and salt and pepper. then i place in the microwave, checking every couple of minutes to mix them. they are ready when there is no liquid in the bowl



they are beautiful!

when you scramble eggs take care not to over beat them, gently fold them over each other until done. and be careful not to over cook them, they continue to solidify after the heat is removed so stop cooking them a little before they look done.
