A Good Brunch, shame about the Scrambled Egg....

[AndrewT]

Dear All,

Today I decided to 'do' Brunch, for about 11:30, whilst finishing watching a documentary. Everything was Fine, except..... I just can't 'master' Scrambled Egg, on this Hob! It WAS 'Cooked', I won't get salmonella, or anything, but it just didn't 'Go'.... When I shared the Bungalow with my Mother, a few years back now, I could just 'bung on' the Scrambled Egg. I could 'wash up', 'lay the table', 'go to the loo', in fact, Anything I wanted..... PERFECT Scrambled Egg. THIS induction hob..... hopeless, whatever I do....😬. (It was beginning to 'Go' nicely, so I turned down the heat, kept siring and, it 'went' to ...Slop!)

The 'rest' was good though...… Oh well, better 'luck', next time?🙏

Hi AndrewT

Sorry to hear about your difficulty with the Scrambled egg - are you using the correct cookware for your induction oven? There's an article here about induction cooking, that you might find helpful:

Hope you're enjoying the remainder of your day.

Don't know about the induction hob, but I've changed the way I do scrambled eggs recently after reading a chef's advice (cant remember which of the famous ones). I used to beat the eggs in a jug before putting in the pan- apparently that was wrong, also adding salt too soon both things messed with the consistency? Anyway now what I do - melt butter in the pan, crack the eggs straight in, wait for them to just start to cook then mix gently with a spatula. that might work better for you?

Thanks, you 'Two', I'll give that a try, next time.

Go for it, as they say"you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs"

[AndrewT in reply to PandQs]

THAT'S where I was going wrong.....😁

I'm also going to try that method too, and looking forward to it. Great to get some tips for technique!

I have experienced this with an induction hob. They are so fierce! However, regarding scrambled eggs, I learned something the other day from a tv programme re NOT adding salt when cooking because it dries them up and not only do they become glued to the pan but they cook far too quickly. Just add pepper and remove from the hob when they are still quite moist. They will continue cooking. If you wish to add salt, do so but to be honest, I enjoyed them without . The butter used in the cooking added enough to bring out the flavour.

The problem is that you forgot the cream and the tiny bits of chopped ham,,
