6 Steps to Fry Perfect Eggs In A Stainless Steel Frying Pan
Step 1: Preheat the Pot Thoroughly
Heat on medium heat for 1-2 minutes, drop water droplet test: If the water droplets do not evaporate while rolling, the temperature meets the standard (about 180 ℃).
Step 2: Apply Oil Evenly
Use kitchen paper towels to thinly coat the entire surface of the pot with oil (note: cold oil tends to stick, so it needs to be heated and cooled).
Step 3: Crack the Eggs
When the edge of the egg is slightly charred, turn down the heat to avoid burning it at high temperatures.
Step 4: Control the Heat
Fry on one side for about 2 minutes, flip over and fry for 30 seconds (half cooked) or 1 minute (fully cooked).
Step 5: Let it Stand and Remove the Pot
After turning off the heat, wait for 10 seconds and gently push the bottom of the egg with a metal spatula.
Step 6: Cleaning and Maintenance
Wash with warm water and baking soda to avoid scratching the pot body with steel wire balls.
5 Core Tips to Avoid Getting Stuck in the Pot
- Temperature is key: Insufficient preheating is the main cause of sticking to the pot.
- Cold oil in hot pot: After the oil film forms, put the eggs in.
- Eggs return to room temperature: The temperature difference between refrigerated eggs can easily cause rapid protein coagulation.
- Do not frequently flip: operate after single-sided shaping.
- Regular pot maintenance: Boil with white vinegar every month to remove the oxide layer.
