You’d be better off putting the scrambled eggs in a plastic bag and cook in a water bath like you usually do with sous vide. Straight eggs would be too viscous to be circulated and cooked properly by the sous vide.

Incredible video. As a chef myself, I kind of just learnt all this stuff through trail/error over the years but I never really new why but this video has shown me everything I needed to know and more whilst being super engaging throughout. I really wish I had these kinds of videos when I started my training or even better when I was a kid learning how just to cook for myself. So it’s good to know it’s out there for anyone that wants to improve at home. Keep it up, I’m definitely subscribing -much love from Australia 🇦🇺

Just wanna jump in on the chorus of people sharing their appreciation for your stuff. Recently moved out of my parents' house and into my own, so now I can experiment in the kitchen and only risk ruining my own food and supplies. Your videos have been insanely valuable on figuring out what would work best for me in terms of pans, supplies, recipes, and a ton of information on ways to cook certain dishes or ingredients, and why to do it like that. This is another perfect entry that I'll no doubt rewatch four or five time to really get the details down, and I'm already looking forward to trying various styles of scrambled eggs. I know this is an older video, and you might not even see this comment, but sincerely: thank you for the huge change you've made in my cooking life!

As someone who is super into nerdy cooking knowledge and molecular gastronomy technobabble, I find your videos to be fascinating. It’s hard to do the research yourself when living on a college budget, but seeing you live the dream and do it yourself really keeps that spark alive in me. Thank you for that.

Ethan! I have a video(or series) idea that I think you are most equipped to handle in an effective way. I have high blood pressure and need to reduce my sodium intake. I basically need to cut out my favorite ingredient to use in every dish, SALT. How can I make my food still taste good without using salt? What are some other low-no sodium ways I can bring out the most flavor in my dishes? This can apply to other areas like for those who need to cut out cholesterol for example. This would be a great take and I can’t think of anyone who would do it as well as you in a practical way!

MSG+lower NaCL and higher Potassium Chloride salts (for your peace of mind). To elaborate, the topic is heavily investigated, and the actual effect of NaCl (or rather its degree) is still heavily debated/or rather hard to generalize. Unless eating an excessive amount of NaCl, its decrease in your diet generally doesn't significantly alter your blood pressure, and certainly not a significant factor in that. Though that is a somewhat case-to-case thing, because blood pressure alteration based on NaCl consumption varies significantly among individuals. So if you only consumed a moderate amount of salt prior, then reducing the intake most likely won't affect significantly your blood pressure (though it may). Cutting out salt from your cooked dishes generally doesn't really make sense, because most of your salt intake will generally come from pre-salted processed food, so cutting those out would make an actual difference, not leaving salt out of your scrambled eggs. If you don't consume any processed food, then cutting your already low/moderate NaCl consumption likely won't do much. Rather then under salting your cooked foods, eat more vegetables, don't eat any processed and pre-seasoned food (chips, canned foods, cup-noodles, any processed meat like ham, bacon, cookies etc.) and consume only a moderate amount of cheese and cook everything yourself from base ingredients. Cholesterol consumption is somewhat similar, though it is closer to an actual false common knowledge. Besides old and heavily biased studies' findings, it is now generally accepted in the scientific community based on research, that dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on your actual cholesterol level/metabolism. That is of course generally, because there are health disorders where dietary cholesterol plays a big role, this is not generally the case, unlike in salt consumption where its effect simply varies greatly in the population but excessive intakes clearly have significant blood pressure increasing effect in everybody (just to a varying degree).

When I was a kid we would make what we called "soft boiled eggs", which was basically hard boiled eggs with a little moistness left in the yolks, mashed with butter and spread on toast. I loved it. A few years back i realized I could get the same effect by not overcooking scrambled eggs. It didn't need all the butter. Eggs are very inexpensive. I've never bought the giant flats of eggs, these are surely the cheapest way to buy eggs, but my grocery store sells 18 eggs for around 2 bucks. Even when I buy fresh eggs from a farm or something it comes out to about a quarter an egg. Soft scramble on toast is truly a simple cheap dish that is very satisfying, probably the very best flavor/price ratio of any food.

To me, soft boiled eggs means the yolks are outright runny. Kind of like sunny-side up except as a boiled (or steamed) egg. There's also medium cooked eggs, like the upper middle row on the chart of boiled eggs in the video.

I spent about 20 years trying to figure out why, occasionally, I'd get amazing creamy perfect-tasting eggs at restaurants and couldn't replicate them at home. Eggs I cooked, and from most restaurants, seemed to come with this odd off-flavor I can't quite put my finger on. What I discovered, by accident, was that adding salt to the egg before cooking doesn't just change the texture, it also has a big impact on the flavor. I had been dutifully adding salt to my eggs "because it improves texture" for years, never thinking it'd have such an impact on flavor. My solution was to add plain whisked eggs to a medium temp pan with a pad of butter, pull together the medium curds I prefer, and then right as the eggs are almost done and the curds are still wet, hit it with a pinch of salt, toss, and plate.

I usually cook mine on a high heat for about a minute or less. I like big curds, with a slight browning, but still succulent and soft.

Scrambled eggs are in my top three favorite foods yet I can't seem to make them as well as other people do, even after 50 years of cooking! Now I know why! I wish I had learned all of this decades ago! Even when I visited Paris in '88, a chef made them just like you show in the "French method", but I was really after the large curd as you show in the first method. They wanted to serve me an omelet but I wanted simple scrambled eggs. Now I realize there's nothing 'simple' about it -- until you learn what's in this video.

If mine ever come out too dry, I toss some chia seeds in there to soak up the water and add some yogurt or creme fraiche. Maybe not enough to flavor it, but just enough to re-introduce a bit of cream. But I also like eggs just about every way, so I'm always just winging it.

Quick update : tried this morning, I didn't have a glass bowl so i used a small, thin metal one and most probably had the water boiling too furiously, so I had to really lower the heat. While i didn't get a perfect result, it was already way silkier than what I used to get, with just 2 eggs and a pinch of salt. No butter needed so it's a bit healthier :) And since eggs keep sticking on my pans, but NOT on the bowl i used, it makes for a quicker cleanup after I'm done. I'll get a glass bowl keep honing this skill, thanks again !

i love cooking scrambled eggs in a screaming hot wok (with vegetable oil) only salt in the eggs, agitate and flip them quickly until almost done, about 45 seconds for 4 eggs. then top with green onion, lime juice and homemade chili oil. So good. There's a little bit of brown crust here and there from the initial drop into the hot pan. So delicious and extremely fast. Must go make some now.....

Your method sounds similar to mine, and if you think your eggs are good with vegetable oil, try using bacon grease!! Yum!! Use a hot pan (9.5 out of 10 setting on my electric stove), a teaspoon or so of bacon grease, 3 eggs with Kosher salt and cracked black pepper whipped in, and they should sizzle when poured into the pan. Stir quickly, kind of folding the cooked into the middle to allow the liquid to hit the hot surface more often. Not only is this quick, it has a great mouth feel and is delicious!!! (And no nasty runny eggs like shown in this video).

Excellent and very insightful

Great video! I love the quality and amount of info you've cramped in. Thumbs up.

Great video! I make the French style without the water, just work the curd constantly and maintain the pan temp by going off and on heat frequently. Best style imo but they take a while to make

I'll be honest. Like most I still find the eggs my grandma used to make the best and always keep trying to emulate them, though without the most success. The preparation was interesting in that the cooktop changes it massively. Best with a cast iron electric cooktop. Butter white onion until it's translucent on low heat. Turn the heat off, add the unwhisked and start stirring, but only the whites. Once those set a bit incorporate stirring the yolks. Best served on sourdough with Central european sweet mustard and butter.

Fantastic as always Ethan... thank you. Lots of variations to try. I like heating a knob of butter in a hot pan and putting 5/6 cherry tomatoes, halved and face down to give some tomato juice and flavour into the pan. I don't leave them long just so the face onto the pan has started to cook and release juice then I take them out to serve alongside the finished scrambled egg. Take the pan off the heat and crack and agitate my eggs straight into the pan using the residual heat with a sprinkle of salt. Better to agitate eggs in a separate bowl but this saves on washing, just a frying pan ;-) A sliced fresh red chilli goes nicely too and the colour looks lovely too alongside the eggs ;-)

Amazing video as always

No one else takes the time to explain things like you do. The 🐐

I whisk eggs with a dollop of milk and some pepper. I add to a non-stick pan over a narrow heat source ie the smallest gas burner or electric element on the stove. That allows me to control the heat applied to the eggs, moving them with a small spatula. Turn the heat off before they're done so residual heat finishes the cooking. I get lovely medium-large curds every time. I occasionally add a quarter teaspoon of a vegetable-based stock powder to the whisk mixture.

thank you, professor Ethan

My preference is something similar to the ingredients of the first with the quick cooking of the last. I do not enjoy eggs cooked the other way at all. Just before I left home my mother gave me two pieces of advice on how to scramble eggs, and I have followed that simple advice to this day. 1. If you are cooking for others, make sure that they are at the table before you start to cook the eggs. 2. Serve just before you think that they are ready, they will be as you intend when they reach the table.

Plesse, more of this kind of videos!

Fantastic video, thanks so much!

Fantastic. Thank you very much.

This just explained why I thought I hated scrambled eggs. Thank you. This changes everything

I used to cook French scrabbled eggs directly over looow heat, Taking about 30 minutes, they are always wonderful. The Chinese style is great too!

In order to finally make French style scrambled eggs, I poured the egg mixture straight into the pot. I kept the heat on low, whisked vigorously and pulled the pot off and back on the heat every ten seconds. If it doesn't enough, I would hold the pot at an angle and let the heat concentrate on one end where the mixture moved to. Once tiny curds started to form, I turned off the heat and continued whisking until it stopped steaming. The result was a bright creamy texture that was almost like sauce. *It was the most amazing egg recipe I or any restaurant ever made!*

Great video! My preferred way to make scrambled eggs is to bring them up to room temperature, (if I have time), crack them into a large bowl add some 33% heavy cream, (or 18%, if that's all I have). Heat a non-stick pan, whip the eggs & cream, maybe a touch of salt, melt lots of butter in pan and add the eggs. I use a hot pan, and keep them moving the whole time, scraping and folding until they are firm, but not dried out. Dump quickly onto a warmed plate.

I like the science going into this.

Too many places just overcook the eggs. You have to remember that the eggs continue to cook for a bit after you remove them while you are plating them and putting them on the table. Remove them from the pan a little bit before you think they are done. It's really amazing how an extra 30 seconds or so can completely change the flavor of the eggs.

Scallions are essential!!!!

Outstanding video

I tried adding some corn starch and vinegar to my eggs along with the usual milk, salt, pepper, and msg. Actually the best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had. Didn’t need any hot sauce or cheese whatsoever. Thank you!!!

Exellent! I learned a lot.

Really like the engineering like approach -being a total electronics nerd I always keep track of the process variables while cooking, and it works, always consistent results ;-) even for the Chinese kitchen
