Those look great. Care to share what the cover and steam method is?

In order to get the tops of the eggs done when frying sunny side up, put a lid on while frying so heat and steam will cook the tops. Otherwise the tops are slimy.

Basically yes, but my method has a refinement.

I turn on a second burner of my ceramic cooktop, at its lowest setting. I put a plate on it to warm, with a round pot holder on top of it, for insulation.

I cover my pan of eggs with that warm insulated plate. The object is to reduce the amount of steam condensing on the bottom of the cover, so more steam condenses on the top of the eggs. Especially helpful if you want the eggs more like over-easy than sunny side up.

Condensing water produces a lot of heat – 540 calories/g.

For non-stick coated pans you should buy cheap and just replace them when they wear out.
