Didn't work for me at all. UPDATE 08/27/2020. So, I messed it up first because I wasn't paying 100% attention to your instructions! My bad, I apologize. I was stirring the eggs like I do normally on my non-stick All-Clads skillet, NOT pulling slowly from the sides in a circle like you do in your video. THAT was the key! Thanks for the tip.
Hey are you using LPG or Natural gas? Both of them should be burning with a blue flame for a complete burn. Your burner was a yellow/red flame which indicates incomplete burn. You either have a lot of soot build up on your burners or some other issue with gas flow rate. I would look into it. Great video though I had been struggling with this new set of SS pans I bought.
Dave I know this video was 5 years ago but I just have to say, thank you so much! Been making the switch over from Teflon to stainless steal and cast iron, haven’t been able to figure out how to properly cook scrambled eggs until this video, u just saved me so much time and stress, amazing video!
Great video. This is exactly how I do it and literally *nothing* sticks. The essential keys are “hot pan, cold fat.” In other words, the pan should be hot (water droplets dance, not evaporate), and then you put in cold fat (room temp is perfectly fine) like butter, bacon grease, oil. Then immediately put in your eggs before the fat is completely heated. I wait 10-15 seconds before starting to pull the eggs to center with the spatula, and turn down the heat a bit during that time, but basically it’s exactly what Dave does here.
@@MrFuchew the fat will be hot but not too hot) by the time you put the food in. I think the point being made is, heat the pan first rather than heat the pan and oil together from cold, especially with butter as it will burn by the time the pan is hot enough to cook in.
Thank you, Dave! I was about to give up frying eggs In stainless. I was getting my pan too hot on high, even burning the butter, and a mess. Heating on medium was better and putting the eggs in before all the butter was melted really worked for me!
I have waited for my pan to create water droplets every time and every time, put room temp olive oil in the pan, wait 20-30 seconds, pour in the eggs and the eggs stick to the pan every time...
Hi, Dave! I'm sad to see that you only have one video. I really enjoyed your clear, concise presentation and way of teaching and hope that you decide to produce more content in the future. I would love to "Cook with Dave", and I think that you have a lot to offer especially if you focus on teaching how to cook with stainless steel exclusively. This could be a great niche for you. All the best and thank you!
Tried it with this video after being a bit unlucky with stainless steel and scrambled eggs, worked nearly perfectly (nearly because I didn't get the pan how enough)!
Yes he did. The dancing water drop method is too hot for eggs. With stainless steel and cast iron you want the butter just to gently bubble, as illustrated. I use it all the time.
Starting with eggs at room temperature will help a lot. Take your eggs out of the the fridge and beat them but allow them to come to room temperature before cooking and they will cook without sticking and be much nicer.
At last! A complete start to finish video on how to cook eggs without sticking on a stainless steel pan. I’ve had no luck in the past so I am excited to try this method. 😊. Thank you.
...so, I guess Dave has stopped cooking? Just one video 8 months ago and then crickets chirping in his kitchen? ;-) BTW, I saw your "Jura ENA Micro 90" review on your website -- pretty informative! I also like espresso but wanted more hands-on experience, so I went with a semi-automatic machine (a Vibiemme Domobar Super HX manual/rotary, with a Mazzer Mini Type A grinder). -- BR
Just a saw a thing about Dupont and the Teflon surface they created. Freaked me out. Cancer causing shit. On my last week of non stick as I search for a couple of stainless steel pans. Enough is enough.
You can also pinch the side of the skillet. If you can’t hold the pinch for more than a split second due to it being hot, then that means the heat has moved throughout the whole cooking service, and up the sides.
You can stick your tongue on it. When your tongue sticks, its the perfect temp. Jk, You actually throw some water on it, if the water rolls around without sizzling away (like a ball of mercury), then its preheated enough and you add oil (and reduce heat if you’re not using high smoking point oil cauze if not the oil will burn soon)
Minsang1st : ROFL isn’t that how ya check if a pole is to cold ? And yea I know about the water ball check I never use it , I have know issues with eggs sticking or other foods . And PS I was being sarcastic with the 1st post !
As someone who just can't stomach the smell of over cooked yolk, I bravely tried this technique to get out of my sunny-side up/over easy rut. It was great, no crescendo of cursing over broken yolks today, and no stanky sulfur bs. I haven't enjoyed scrambled eggs in years, this was such a nice change!
Those eggs look great. When I make scrambled eggs in my shitty 10 year old T-fal nonstick pan, they seem to get a good sear on them before I'm done. Ha! (in other words, they're half dry and a little crispy).
trying to figure this out too.. my first attempt was good, butter didnt burn and nothing stuck. but now i get nonstick eggs but the butter just burns everytime.
@@AkuoSubliminals I had this same problem, and I was able to find a method that works well, but takes more time. I heat the pan up till it forms water beads when sprinkled with water, then take it off the heat for about 4-5 minutes, and add my butter. From there I’ll add my eggs and cook on low. The eggs taste and feel much better this way and don’t stick either!
Cook With Dave yeah man because an orange flame indicates that the gas burner is not working efficiently and is letting out a potentially lethal amount of carbon monoxide. Glad you got it fixed
Dave, what brand of cookware is that. My child loves scrambled eggs but I hate those non-sticks. Researching on my stainless steel options. I know cusinart doesn’t work!
A tiny bit of water splashed from you fingertips will LITERALLY dance all around the pan and bounce like in a pinball machine. If it sizzles or steams it's NOT hot enough yet.
Aluminum and cooking food directly on it is a big health concern these days. You should consider doing some research on it, for your own sake. Credible information is key and not so easy to discern.
In Sweden that´s NOT scrambled eggs...that´s an soft omelette...Proper scrambled eggs is finished with creme fraiche/sour cream/clotted cream to stop the cooking process and makes it creamier...just saying
