You know Miss KK, Ramsey can cook and has a wonderful imagination but it's the attitude that gets me. They ask on the program for the guests opinion of what they are served, not knowing what each course will bring, and he went on this rant. Just the other day my husband asked me why I don't watch my "food shows" anymore, I can't say that I watch very many of them any longer, just because of that one episode. But I do go on...
What were we talking about? HA! tongue.gif

Translation:  alo, sharing or in the present

Same as there are a 12 eggs in a dozen, each one can be scrambled a different way. If it comes out  good, then there is no wrong way. !

Putting a cream on scramble eggs? maybe we can say it is nice, but you just imagine it is full of cholesterol, why not just add an onion to kill the bacteria plus to lessen the cholesterol.

It will take some getting used to putting the butter and eggs in the pan first then scrambling them.

I tried it this morning

They were good, different texture...more like curds to me. Interesting.

OK. This is a stretch, but ... the more non-cholesterol items you add, increasing the general mass and volume of the dish, also increases the number of servings. Therein ... you reduce the amount of cholesterol per serving. Maybe? ... Possibly?

If you use a Vidallia or a Maui onion it will just sweet talk the cholesterol right out of the pan........Honest. biggrin.gif

So if I smother my big fat juicy ribeye steak with caramelized onions it almost becomes fat-free!  Nice.

This whole discussion has got me tempted to take a day and dedicate a large portion of it to just scrambling eggs, and doing each egg differently.  lol.gif

Won't be doing the Microwave, because my household doesn't own one. XD

I am a beginner in the world of cooking.  If you have any tips, feel free to send them my way.  Advice is always appreciated.

I honestly can't stand most scrambled eggs. Not to sound cocky but everyone I know who cooks overcooks them and dries them out or leaves them in a plate of water (also due to overcooking).

 

My method?

 

  • Mix three eggs w/ salt and a couple tablespoons of whole milk.
  • Brown a bit of butter in the NONSTICK pan on low heat while this is happening.
  • Mix with rubber spatula until curds start forming, scrape them off the bottom/sides as you go.
  • Boost heat to high, FOLD eggs gently over each other instead of actually scrambling.
  • Plate while still a bit underdone. They'll finish cooking with residual heat.

 

Then cover in pepper and hot sauce, of course.
