@seattlehanddoc If you’re nervous about cooking with stainless steel, join the club! The biggest lesson I learned is that stainless steel isn’t difficult, it’s just different. As long as the pan is properly preheated and you use a thin coating of butter or oil, it works beautifully. (And yes, you can absolutely make this in a nonstick pan too!) One thing that’s important to know is that the ideal heat depends on what you’re making. For this egg rose technique, you don’t want high heat. Once the pan is evenly heated, add your butter or oil, pour in the eggs, and start shaping them right away. Keeping the heat on the lower side gives you enough time to gently move and fold the eggs before they set, which is what creates those beautiful rose-like layers. A fried egg is different. For that, I use a hotter pan with a generous amount of oil. Crack in the egg and let it cook without moving it. Once the proteins have fully set and the crust has developed, the egg will naturally release from the pan when it’s ready. It really does work, I didn’t believe it either until I practiced! Grab a dozen eggs, make breakfast a few times, and don’t be afraid of a little trial and error. You’ll get the feel for it, and it’s so worth learning. How to make the egg rose: • Beat 3 eggs until completely smooth. • Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat until evenly warmed, then add a little butter or oil. • Pour in the eggs and let them sit for about 10 seconds, just until the edges begin to set. • Starting on one side of the pan, use a spatula to gently sweep the egg across to the opposite side, creating a thick “U” shape. Continue working around the perimeter of the pan in one continuous circular motion, folding the egg inward with each pass. As the uncooked egg flows into the open spaces, it sets and becomes part of the next fold, creating the layered rose effect. • Keep folding until all of the egg is gathered into the center, then remove it while it’s still soft, fluffy, and slightly glossy. #egghack #eggs #breakfastideas #cookingtips #foodhack @madein
