Happy-Mama Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hello, can anyone tell me how to fry an egg without the white bit burning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Buy a specially made fried egg pan. I think they're about £5 normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Mama Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Wow, does such a thing truely exist??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Just don't let your pan get too hot and let it cook slowly while you skoosh the oil over the yolk until it all cooked but still runny so you can dip your bacon, sausage, black pudding, fried bread or tomotoes in it. Yum, yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I always make sure the oil isnt that hot as I hate over cooked fried eggs...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Mama Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 ah, I think that might be where I'm going wrong, I always get the pan quite hot. Is it okay to use olive oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I dry-fry some bacon in my pan, then use the juices from that to fry the eggs - they come up a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I use a generous amount of sunflower oil and keep basting the egg so the top cooks as quick as the underneath. Medium heat though. p.s. I cant believe I've just answered a cooking question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Mama Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Mmmm, bacon and eggs. Will have to have that for breakfast tomorrow Will let you know how the eggs turn out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Yup a medium heat under the pan will stop you getting those horrid burnt bits, I always cook fried eggs in a mixture of butter and olive oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy-Mama Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 thanks, yes I agree eggs are yummy. Though I don't have my own chickens, my Grandad used to keep chickens one of them laid white eggs and they were always my favourite. I remember as a kid how much i used to love going down the garden to collect the eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
