    That fried egg with the oil and crispy brown edges is EXACTLY how I love my fried eggs, especially with white rice and a Vietnamese style fried pork chop. As for scrambled, I do a variation of Ramsey's style (I skip the cream) where I cook it in a pot with a big dollop of butter and stir it on the heat and don't salt and pepper it until after I take it off the heat. As for poached, the first time I tried, I was using Julia Child's recipe which called for vinegar, and I'm glad Carla found the vinegar to be useless unless you put so much in that your egg will get that taste. When I want to do the "French" omelette, and I don't wanna get fancy, I do what Julia Child does. High heat with butter, put the whisked eggs on the pan and do the pulling the pan towards you method to get the egg to naturally shake itself in an Omelette form. Takes like 10 seconds.

      I think he was referring more to the scrambled egg part, not denouncing Carla as a whole. All chefs do scrambled eggs a little bit differently. She stated that she was going for larger curds, not smaller ones. Gordon Ramsay does smaller curds over low heat very slowly, almost like a risotto. He also doesn't salt until he's already started cooking the eggs so they won't separate but she mentioned that in the video. Just different techniques, not implying she's a bad chef.

    Fantastic video. Carla has a great personality, is so fun, and is informative without being overly serious. I especially loved the simple poached egg method using no vinegar. I'm also going to get a cheap squeeze bottle for my olive oil (no more slippery oil running down the side of my big bottle). I'm still going to add a teaspoon or so of water to my scrambled eggs (as other chefs recommend) to add fluffiness. Well done.

    For the scrambled eggs, salt breaks down the proteins which makes it watery, which is why seasoning should be left last.
    I personally love that very fine creamy scrambled eggs, you can get a beautiful result by cracking two eggs into a cold pan with butter and mixing while it heats up. Not to mention taking off the heat and letting residual heat continue to cook them for a moment still.

      Scorpionic Very confused about how you like your eggs, hard boiled and poached eggs are completely different, one of which the yolk is solid and the other it is runny...

      Okay that makes sense. Just confused me as you said you don't like poached and hard boiled because they're cooked but not well done

    Thank you Carla! After nearly 20 years of avoiding making poached eggs because of some rather disastrous results when I was starting university, I took the plunge again following your method. And... success! OK, well, the first one was a bit wonky, but the second one was darn near perfect. Love your clear instructions, they totally worked, and now I have the joy of being able to do this for myself. Poached eggs are my favourite!

      Yeah, but at the same time it makes her tips disingenuous. She told us a few tips and said not to use vinegar and then proceeded to fail at making a poached egg 75% of the time, making her advice worthless; I have could achieve the same results without having ever watched this video.
      Vinegar helps more than you think as well. Seriously, when I use vinegar my success rate skyrockets (currently 100% success) and you can't taste the vinegar, especially with toast/baked beans/sauce...etc.

      Or you can fry eggs with butter without burning in a cast iron skillet, once you get it well seasoned. I've had good luck with an old skillet -- I mean literally a 60-70 year old Griswold skillet I got off ebay. A lot of the cast iron skillets made today have a more coarse, pitted surface (didn't work as well fo rme).

    • @beeble2003
      @beeble2003 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      If the existential horror has something to do with baby chickens, you know that the eggs you eat are unfertilized, right? That's why there's no chicken embryo floating around in the yolk.
