    Wish I could show you my fried eggs & kippers. First time I've tried to fry an egg in cast iron since many years of failure and finally quit. . You, sir, are a genius.
    BTW my cast pan is not seasoned, I clean it with dish soap & a green scrubby, and I used only half the amount of butter shown in the video. the eggs still came out perfectly. Just needed to learn how to leave them alone while they cooked. I cover them while cooking and the yolks get cooked slightly, just how I like them.

Last night used the same skillet and cooked a scrambled egg and a egg and milk dipped oatmeal beead sliced in 2 halves side by side w just a tsp of butter It cooked wonderfully even with no sticking.

    Hello, thank you for the video. We will try next time. We probably used too high of heat and not enough oil. We will use butter next time. One question; we just bought a three pack of lodge brand skillets. Are they seasoned well enough when new? We tried eggs in it first.

    • @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN
      @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for watching. Yeah. High heat makes it difficult when cooking eggs. I screwed up plenty in my day. lol. I have mostly Lodge. Yes they are pre-seasoned enough for good results. But what I started doing with a new skillet is to wash good with light dish washing liquid (just a drop is enough) in hot water and hand dry then stove dry on medium heat until thoroughly dry. I pre-heat the oven on 400F then apply a light coat of either lard or canola oil all over the skillet inside and out. Place upside down on the middle rack of the oven for about 1 hour. After that turn off the heat and let it cool completely on its own in the oven without taking it out until completely cooled. This just adds another layer of seasoning better than out of the box. It sounds like alot of work, but really not. Let me refer you to another channel who knows everything about cooking and taking care of cast iron. Mike at Mr. Cast Iron is great. I learned alot over the years. Good luck!

    • @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN
      @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not really. The sticking happens when there's not enough fat in the skillet. I have let my eggs set out a bit before frying, but not always. The only thing about adding eggs straight from the frudge is it can lower the temp of your skillet, taking longer to cook them. But an advantage of using cold eggs is they are less likely to over cook. Thanks for watching.

The part about not scrambling the eggs most people who make scrambled eggs scramble the egg in the pan while it cooks so that is where I run into that layer of food that sticks because otherwise I have to settle for semi scramble.

      Yes I can. Separate the yolks from the whites. In a nonstick pan (it's gentler than a cast iron, requires less oil, and won't risk turning them a blackish grey), heat a teaspoon or two of olive oil or butter over medium-low heat. Throw in a pinch of pepper flakes, and then once they start to dance and sizzle, add in your egg whites. Thanks for watching.

      Other reasons why they would still stick is an unproperly seasoned or non-stick cast iron or other skillet and heat control. For eggs, if the heat is too high, they will tend to stick more. Another thing to remember is all stoves are not considered equal. They differ. What would be medium on mine might be different on someone else's. I would suggest you try again with a well seasoned skillet and lower heat. Let me know how it comes out. Thanks again.

      Sorry to hear that. There are a few possible reasons why. Either your skillet is not well seasoned, the heat was too high and/or not enough fat used. Thanks for watching.

    • @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN
      @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN  ปีที่แล้ว

      If your skillet is well seasoned, the likely culprit is the heat was too high. Too high heat cooks the eggs too fast and the eggs release its proteins forming a bond to the pan surface if it's too hot. Another thing to consider is that not all stoves are created equally. Sometimes it's knob controls faulty heating elements. I used to have the same issue. It seemed no mater what I did, they still stuck. I learned this method from a restaurant chef friend. Hope you give it another try. Thanks again!

    Don't you need to wash it with dish soap after?

    • @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN
      @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The only time I have ever used dish soap on my cast iron is after bringing it home after purchase just to clean off any manufacturing oils. I have never used soap since. It's not necessary. If the skillet is well seasoned you shouldn't have to use soap. Many say some dish soaps damage the seasoning while some say it doesn't if just a drop or two is used. I've never had an issue getting it clean without soap. Here's what I do: When I remove my food, and while the skillet is super hot, I rinse in real hot water. It'll steam like crazy which removes any food, grease etc. Then I wipe it dry and put back on a medium heat burner and let it dry completely before wiping it with a little oil all over. If by chance you have any stuck on food that didn't come off after rinsing, you can add water to the skillet and put on a high burner and bring to a boil. That will break up any stuck on food. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

    Oh all that fat is not healthy😮 a no no. I spreaded some butter with a paper towel like I always do for health reasons. Pan was med low. I'll stay with my non stick starfrit pan thank you.

    Just want to comment that you should never mix oil and water in a stove. Extremely hazardous.

      That's true, but I did not use oil in this recipe. Butter is not the same thing and you can mix water with butter with no issues. Thanks for watching.

    That’s a lot of butter.

    I’ve been making eggs for a lifetime just get a nonstick pan and spray with olive oil and season with Vegeta season. Thank me later!
