Question

Help please? “Explain the process of how we can have a runny yolk when we cook a fried egg.” It needs to be a detailed answer so my mind is blank please help :))

Answer 1

All you’ll need for this recipe is a quality cooking pan (we prefer cast iron over stainless steel or non-stick), a bit of oil to grease the pan, good quality eggs (we prefer organic pasture-raised), and seasonings of choice (we prefer salt and pepper).

Cracking an egg in a skillet for our tutorial on How to Cook and Egg Perfectly Every Time.

Once your pan is hot over medium heat, add a bit of oil, swirl to coat, then crack your eggs in, being careful not to break the yolks. Then season with a pinch each salt and pepper (or desired seasonings) and cook for a few minutes uncovered (this allows the whites to start cooking without the yolks getting cooked). Around the 3-minute mark, just before the whites are cooked, cover with a lid. This will allow the whites to firm up without overcooking the yolks.Ah, perfect eggs every time. There you have it!
