Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to whisk thoroughly?
Yes! Fully blended eggs cook evenly and create a smoother texture.
Butter or oil—which is better?
Butter adds richness and flavor; oil has a higher smoke point. For best results, use butter on low heat.
Can I make ahead?
Not recommended—scrambled eggs lose their texture when reheated. Cook to order for perfection.
Why not high heat?
High heat causes proteins to tighten too fast, squeezing out moisture and creating rubbery eggs.
