Members MarkZ Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 Daniel Boulud's takes on scrambled eggs, a tuna sandwich, and mac & cheese: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D07E1DB113FF93BA35757C0A9679C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all I don't often use the double-boiler method because my wife & kids prefer eggs cooked until very dry in a frying pan with high heat. I make theirs separately from mine. Gordon Ramsey's version. That Gordon Ramsey method is interesting, John. I'm going to try it this weekend.

Members cooterbrown Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm sorry but for me that's a good description for making an omelet. Say what? Dude...an omelet sits in the pan, and becomes solid.There is nothing just sitting, ever, in the pan when I make scrambled eggs.A response like that makes you look like you didn't even read the post.

Anyone in need of advertising prose, marketing, or website catchphrases should be honored to work with you. Or, uh, make breakfast with you.

Members Jeff da Weasel Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well, now I'm hungry. And out of eggs. And no time for the store right now. Thanks a lot! I wonder if there's an omelette delivery service. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I whisk the eggs, with a bit of milk in a separate bowl until they're well blended and frothy. I cook them over a low heat until they're done - which is when they're still moist - not runny, not dried out. As for pan / prep, I prefer a non-stick pan, greased with either real butter, or bacon grease. I occasionally add grated cheese to my scrambled eggs. If it's an omelet, I like to add bacon, avocado and cheese, and top it with more grated cheese, sour cream, and salsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jon just means that the setting temp and possibly the adjuncts are more that he expects to find in an omelette shell for his tastes/style of cooking Eggs (well scrambles, esp as it's kind of a whole body of technique rather than just one cooking method - but even the hard boil has its adherence to various techniques too) are sort of like rigging, or packing, or file organization - Each person has the way they do it...and the rest are CRAP! Crap I say! ah eggs, so delicious, so divisive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Oh HELL YEAH.This thread made me hungry. Instead of getting mad about it and bickering, I took decisive action and DID something about it - yup, I made eggs and sourdough toast. We were out of bacon and avocado though.
