Say it ain't so BigJoe !

Oh it be!!!! LOL

My daughter and I both order them "scrambled well". My wife doesn't seem to care either way as long as they're not runny! None of us like runny eggs, be they scrambled, fried, poached, boiled, etc.!

I see several people have mentioned using ketchup. I have never seen or heard of this. Is it a northern thing? I will try it just to see. I have put fresh salsa or hot sauce on scrambled eggs, but never ketchup.

I'll quote Clint Eastwood, "Nobody, I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog"
Same goes for eggs!

My wife and daughter will put ketchup on scrambled eggs, but I do not; only black pepper and sometimes white sausage gravy.

The ONLY correct way.

So get drunk first, throw stuff around the kitchen, start a fight with whomever is there and leave with the cops?

How else would the eggs get beaten and scrambled?

I don’t believe so. Well done in steaks is overcooked in my mind and I like my scrambled eggs at the point between slimy mess and overcooked.

I have eaten at a Waffle House only once in my life and it will remain that way. I had eggs and bacon and got food poisoning.

I make scrambled eggs, by failing to do this successfully

I like mine scrambled a little over medium. I put salt, black pepper, Louisiana Hot Sauce and green onions. Then I put a little ketchup on them. I'm in Louisiana.

That omelet in the video is not done near enough for me. Nooo.

Well, at least he's using pointy metal utensils in the non-stick pan just like my late MIL!!!

The omelette video is perfect example of overcooked and undercooked. There are infinite levels of doneness in between.

Runny eggs suck to my aesthetic. Runny yolks yes, runny not yolks yuck.

Cooking eggs are a benchmark of someone's kitchen skill, principally their understanding of technique and heat control. I prefer a creamier scrambled egg that's not dripping wet. Scrambled eggs that come out rubbery, flaky and dry were abused by whomever cooked them, I get it some people like it that way, I suppose drenching it in ketchup or, salsa can help cover it up and give it some flavor.

The cold butter and corn starch-slurry method I've made my standard, served over buttered toast as Ramsey demonstrated, with Dailey's pepper bacon makes for an enjoyable start to the weekend.



The velvety-cream technique is too rich for me, I like to add Boursin cheese for a taste additive and either minced-up parsley or chives

Scrambled eggs should be served what appears to be just moist (forget about this US Navy dry chunk nonsense) because they keep cooking long after you take them off the heat and will continue to dry out as well. Just my $0.02.
