    In Sweden we heat up the sauna to a high temp and then crack the egg above our mouth. As it falls down it will cook and will be perfect as it reaches your mouth. True story.

      @Lisa wrong. Gordon puts salt in last because otherwise the salt would make the eggs watery and the texture less perfect.

      @Lisa Gordon says this (about salt) but it's obviously bullshit. Salt does dry out things and makes food release water but your eggs can turn out watery either way so it doesn't really matter, when you add the salt.

    I saw this video about 2 months ago and have made the French style ever since then. It takes 90% attention and about 20 minutes time on a low heat (stirring almost constantly), but the eggs come out so creamy and so delicious it's worth the effort. (I try to follow Jamie's directions as close as possible). I usually serve them on toast, a side of bacon and then sauté small tomatoes and mushrooms in olive oil and just salt and pepper...it's become my wife's favorite breakfast.

    The Slavic way:
    1. Replace the eggs with vodka

    3. Skip the cooking part, use the free time to open a jar of pickles to go with your vodka
    4. Don't bother making toast. Instead drink some more vodka.

    I don't know if this is the way we do it in all of Denmark or just in my family, but we don't whisk the eggs first, we crack them directly onto the frying pan, just as if we were making sunny side up eggs, and then we just stir it around a little with our spatula until it is cooked, and then season with salt and pepper. It's not runny or moist in any way, and we eat it by putting it on a piece of rye bread :)

    • @CinnamonCari

      THIS SOUNDS DELICIOUS! in Venezuela we never eat eggs without sofrito, so we have two big types moist sofrito that after adding the eggs results in small granules and somewhat dry sofrito resulting in medium to large lumps of egg (my family's preference). And we don't eat them raw either.

    I just tried a new method this morning:
    1. Heat pan with olive oil.
    2. Add finely chopped green pepper, red pepper, onions, and jalapenos for some heat. Sweat them down.
    3. Add the beaten eggs.
    4. Add finely chopped bacon bits, onion powder, and cracked black pepper.
    5. Let cook until eggs begin to form chunks and mix together with spatula.
    6. When done, add to plate/toast and salt for taste.
    Honestly was the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. Didn't even seem to miss the mushrooms which I would have added if I had any on hand.

      I've a seen lot of cooks on TH-cam say that Gordon's aversion to salting the eggs is wrong. Salting the eggs before beating them, even leaving them a bit, (apparently) 'denatures' them which results in silkier sheets or curds. Gordon says the salt makes the egg proteins contract, making them expel water. But, I'm pretty sure that's just from cooking them at too high a heat. I make french scrambled eggs by salting them, beating them incredibly thin and emulsifying butter in on medium low heat until it's like a just-broken custard. It takes about 15 minutes in total, but their seriously the best eggs I've ever had.

    I really appreciate that you encourage people to go free range. Even in all your recipe books you state that the eggs must be free range. I know it's also because they do actually taste a lot better (the eggs in a battery hens egg with have a pale and distasteful yolk as they get no greens in their diet), but I as someone who rescues ex bats do love to see you encourage freerange. Battery farms are just awful places.

    • @darkdracofire
      @darkdracofire 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lunarbs Jamie Oliver Not sure how labeling is done or how law dictates where you're from, but in the states, its mostly a marketing ploy to get more money out of you. Free ranged ≠ better treated or better for you. Free ranged is just as bad as battery farms. To qualify as free ranged, the chickens cannot be caged, have access to outdoors (with no specification on how large the outdoor space is), and unregulated feed (usually a feeding system). Don't get me started on this whole vegetarian organic raised BS. People think chickens are herbivores, when in fact they're omnivores. If you leave a chicken to be a chicken (such as pastured raised chickens) They will eat grasses, forage for berries, and hunt for insects.
      Takepart has a good photo on what each label mean: www.takepart.com/article/2014/04/03/understanding-egg-labels?cmpid=foodinc-fb Use your discretion, but if you want what chickens/chicken egg are supposed to taste like, then go with pastured raised.

      Well I know mine are well looked after because I own the actual farm so we get the eggs from them ^^; We let them roam for miles in free space with lots of greens to eat.
      I just did some quick research and it seems the European Union has some rules into this as well:
      -hens have continuous daytime access to open-air runs, except in the case of temporary restrictions imposed by veterinary authorities
      -the open-air runs to which hens have access is mainly covered with vegetation and not used for other purposes except for orchards, woodland and livestock grazing if the latter is authorised by the competent authorities
      -the open-air runs must at least satisfy the conditions specified in Article 4(1)(3)(b)(ii) of Directive 1999/74/EC whereby the maximum stocking density is not greater than 2500 hens per hectare of ground available to the hens or one hen per 4m2 at all times and the runs are not extending beyond a radius of 150 m from the nearest pophole of the building; an extension of up to 350 m from the nearest pophole of the building is permissible provided that a sufficient number of shelters and drinking troughs within the meaning of that provision are evenly distributed throughout the whole open-air run with at least four shelters per hectare

      Lunarbs Welcome to the U.S. Where food industry controls the food policies and uses obfuscation to mislead the consumer. It doesn't help that healthy non processed food comes at a premium. I mean, why eat healthy, when my cheapest option for time and money comes from Mcdonald's. I can buy a burger for $1.00 and only spend a few minutes waiting in the drive through. (Not something I do personally, you to give you an idea.) There is also other factors, such as, not ever learning how to cook or being raised solely on "cheap" foods.

    Englisch style: Beat 2 eggs per person. Butter in pan, salt, egg mixture into the pan. Stire around with spatula. Once it is setting, remove from gas. Scoop it to a corner once it's pretty much cooked. Serve on toast. Quite moist.
    French style: Beat with salt and cook over boiling water bath. Keep beating once in a while. 6 mins later, curd is about to form; put butter in and stir, gentle curd is formed. Serve.
    American style: Butter in frying pan, beaten egg mixture in, let delicate sheets of egg layer form underneath, and fold them around. Once the sheets have formed around with some moist mixture between the sheets, serve.

      The Escoffier method. It makes lovely creamy scrambled eggs if you're patient and can wait for them. The only problem is that once the curd starts setting, it will set on the glass bowl quickly if you're not watching over them, and will wreck the effect you're trying to create. I learnt that lesson - several times - many years ago. I now make them in a pan instead, and keep stirring vigorously all of the time. Then, when they're three-quarters set, take the pan off the heat, add butter or cream very quickly, and then keep stirring until you've got lovely, soft, creamy eggs. But it's interesting watching how pro chefs do it.

    American style is definitely the best way and honestly even when I was in the UK that's how most restaurants make it. Actual pieces of scrambeled egg you can pick up with a fork is better. If you constantly stir your eggs while they're cooking they'll just end up like a sort of messy, unstructured savory pudding that has to be poured on your toast and eaten with a spoon.

    -Throw them away
    -Put the butter back in the fridge.
    -Put the Bread back into the pantry.

    I like to make scrambled eggs occasionally. For me, it's a convenience food, so I make it closer to the British or American method. I don't like large curds, though. It's constant stirring at low-medium heat. I do serve it while still wet. But by the time they are on the toast, the eggs are almost entirely cooked to the point of 95% dry-ness. I don't like it to be too runny, just wett-ish. Here's the thing: Learn the techniques. Then, make it your way. It's your egg.

    When I have really fresh eggs, my favorite is country scramble. Somehow they just taste more eggy. Get the pan hot, crack the eggs into it. let the whites start to congeal then break the yolks and start moving it all around the pan and pull them out before they're fully cooked. Salt and pepper, YUM! truffle salt is even better.

    I have been making more or less American Style all my life. But, I first read about French Style in Alex's book. Didn't look too hard, and I had all the ingredients at hand!
    Only took 10 minutes, start to finish... Wish that the eating lasted longer than the prep.
    Just for grins I omitted salt and butter- WOW! I NEVER would have thought that such flavor and creaminess could come from plain eggs!
    Some hints: Eggs left out the night before on the counter will cook up a little faster.
    Use a rubber spatula- helps to scrape down the sides as you cook.
    At the end, use a bit of the cooking water to warm a serving bowl.
    Again, TRY them first without any other stuff! You can always add Ketchup as needed!

    I make eggs 3-4 times per week, so I've tried them a few ways. I've done all three ways here (I like the French style least, by my wife loves them that way). Another way I prepare them is to scramble 3-4 eggs: butter in the pan; pour a very thin layer; just as it sets, roll it and push to the edge; pour another very thin layer; as it sets, add some shredded or crumbled cheese & roll with the previous layer; another layer, maybe add some ground pepper or cayenne; keep going until I'm out of egg. cut in half - 1 piece only my wife's plate, one on mine. toast on the side with butter and pepper jelly. yummy!

      +1. i cook them similar to ramsay if i'm doing it on toast. (why are all of these on toast? last i saw "american" scrambled eggs are generally separately served in restaurants and homestyle)

    the vast majority of people who eat scrambled eggs like them rubbery and overcooked. if there is any moisture in them, they find it revolting.
