Sunny Side
How to keep sunny side up eggs from sticking?
here’s the catch, i only have a stainless steel pan.
When you dont have a non stick pan there are 2 methods I know of to cook eggs without sticking.
1. place pan on highest heat. Heat up pan for a minute or 2. When oil is placed in the pan it will begin to smoke, at this time swirl oil all over inner surface to coat. Dump out oil and wipe inside of pan with paper towel. You now have a non stick surface
Place pan back on low- med heat. Add 1-2 Tbs of fresh oil and drop in your egg. It should slide around like with minimal effort. But be cautious if egg touches the side of the pan, oil may not have seasoned that part and egg may stick.
2. this method takes practice and patience but does work. Place pan on med heat. Put enough kosher salt in bottom of pan to create a nice layer. Heat salt and swirl it in the pan until it starts to transform from crystals to powder form. Once salt is broken down enough, dump out salt, wipe with dry paper towel. Proceed to cook egg as normal.
Had to make a 2 egg omelet with this method in school, without browning the egg.
Good luck and have fun.
