D.A.F.C Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hob is better but much slower and more washing up. Microwave is my preferred method. Three eggs, in a bowl. Whisk, add wee bit milk. 1 min. Whisk. 30secs Whisk 30 secs Whisk Ready? If not another 20-30 secs. One bowl to wash up. Boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 You would be as well to follow the following recipe. Scrambled eggs are, as others have said, a waste of good eggs. Improving shitty dried eggs by turning the to scrambled is all good though. 1 cup dried whole eggs 2 tablespoons dry milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cup water Place all ingredinets into a 4 cup Pyrex glass measuring cup (or similar). Beat mixture for 3 minutes or until completely dissolved and frothy. (I use my immersion blender. And when I say beat I really do mean it. You are NOT mixing to combine. You are beating the eggs until they are all of the way dissloved and the are NO lumps. Then you are beating some more. By beating the egg mixture for a few minutes you are incorporating air into the eggs, this help the texture turn out right). Add 1 Tablespoon cooking oil to a large skillet. Over medium heat heat oil. Add the egg mixture to the hot oil. Cook eggs using medium low heat, stiring continuously until dry and crumbly. Waste of a good egg? Is there a war on?

Rugster Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Wait, people don't like, or think scrambled eggs are a waste of eggs? I think I may revisit the beastliness scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieT1314 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hob all the way. Tried the microwave once, eggs came out a light shade of blue, never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonedsailor Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If that's supposed to be a recipe for scrambled eggs then you don't know what scrambled eggs are. They're shit. Fucked up omelette at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I wouldn't scramble an egg. I would fry or poach it. But if I had to scramble it, clearly I'd use the hob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hob. Pan of boiling water. Boil three eggs for 8-10 minutes, then peel and scramble in a cup with a pinch of salt, small dod of butter, and a teaspoon of mayonnaise. Put on toast; eat; spontaneous orgasm.

DDcups Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Scrambled egg made with milk on the hob. I like it with seeded bread toast with a little Edam or Gouda on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Milk adds literally nothing to scrambled eggs. It doesn't even need the butter due to the richness of the yolks, but it at least adds a bit of flavour and is permissible. Having whisked three eggs separately and added to a low heat hob, stirring gently until only just starting to stick to the sides of the pan, there are three options: Add only salt and black pepper, take off the heat while mixture is still raw, and finish off stirring in its residual heat. Apply to wholemeal toast and bacon. Add small frozen peas, one chopped mild red chilli and black pepper, take off the heat while mixture is still raw, and finish off stirring in its residual heat. Apply to wholemeal toast and bacon. The peas give a pleasant 'popping' texture and burst of sweetness, which contrasts well with the delicate hum of chilli. Add chives and decent cheddar to black pepper, take off the heat while mixture is still raw, and finish off stirring in its residual heat. Apply to wholemeal toast and bacon. If you want a sandwich, poached or fried egg should replace scrambled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the classic 'egg in a mug' dish, made unpleasant with the beastly addition of mayonnaise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Utter nonsense. Whoever has made them for you in the past obviously doesn't know how to make them properly. Why? Scrambled eggs are shit. That is my opinion. Every hotel I have stayed in, every ship I have worked on, all my family who have cooked for me including my mother, whose cooking I still miss rest her soul, all versions shit. I have never tasted any scrambled egg which is an improvement on the powdered egg variety. As Crocodile Dundee once told me, through the media of film, "you can live on it but it tastes like shit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waal Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 3 or 4 eggs, bit of butter, some feta cheese and a sprinkle of salt and pepper... food of kings. Made on the hob, like. I'm not a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are, they have not been cooked correctly. That's my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killienick Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hob. Wee splash of milk, lots of butter, pepper, and a couple of drops of tobasco if I'm feeling fruity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point. It was only a comparison. You will note I also said "at best". My opinion is that a fucked up omelette is far superior to any scrambled egg.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hob. Wee splash of milk, lots of butter, pepper, and a couple of drops of tobacco if I'm feeling fruity. yum yum. If that doesn't get stonedsailor's taste-buds salivating, nothing will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
