    Your use of a piece of bread for practice is the most helpful idea I have seen. Thank you for sound basics and a way to develop solid confident technique. Basically you are saving me “mess”. The yolk orientation also is a key I had not seen mentioned. I like practical. Thank you. The “quiet”(“eggs should not talk when they go in the pan”) egg entering the pan I have heard from Chef’s before about egg preparation in general. It does produce a soft textured pleasant forking/eating egg so one does not make a lot of utensil noise on the plate while eating……not that my teenage grandchildren would do that! Now on to learning to crack an egg with one hand! BTW, I noticed you crack it on the edge of the pan. I was taught to use a flat surface, not a sharp surface. I do not know if it matters but the explanation was, the flat surface produces no fine fragmentation of the shell. I crack on the counter, put the eggs in a small bowl and pour them into the pan together….personal preference.

    I use the same tech as you for flipping. Only thing I do different is crack the eggs into a shallow bowl before putting them in the pan, so if a shell shard falls in I can get it out without burning my fingers. Also if it's all one blob of egg, I find it easier to flip consistently.

    What I love about its only food is that there is no right or wrong way of doing anything. I was trained by an excellent egg and breakfast grill man, and he had a small stainless bowl that he used for his omelets, and cracked ready to go eggs. I asked him what is what for and he said the same thing. It's a great idea as you wait for burner time and pans in a breakfast rush kitchen. Keeps you busy with something. Great comment.

    I prefer to use my stainless steel Revereware to cook my eggs. If heated until water droplets dance on the surface, the eggs will not stick. They will slide all over the pan, making them easy to flip. I don't like mine to be caramelized, but pure white with a perfectly slightly runny center.

    We didn't get to see cutting open the eggs to see how runny the yolks were. I just use a silicone spatula. I've got a sheet of notepaper pinned to the cupboard door and each time I fry an egg over easy _successfully_ I make a tick. But if the yolk breaks I make a cross. By counting the total number of ticks and crosses you can see how many eggs you cooked. My little list has around 50 ticks and only three crosses, so the spatula does the job 94% of the time.

    You didnt mention using a bit of Bacon Grease which is the best for eggs. Also the first time flipping with a "live egg" it's best to do over the sink until you are proficient. I flipped 1000s of eggs as a short order cook. Once you know you have a quality egg pan no need to check with a spatula. Just roll the pan like your making jiffy pop popcorn. Dating myself.
