I've watched so many people scramble eggs every morning and leave half the egg stuck to the pan day after day. You don't have to live this way!

Before putting in your eggs, heat up the pan and put in some oil/butter. A spatula that can scrape well (flat-nosed, or moderately flexible plastic/silicon) is also helpful.

For a spell some years back, I had a game of "find the worst pan in the kitchen and see if I can cook my eggs without them sticking". Not quite a 100% success rate, but pretty close. (That was mostly scrambled, though. Fried eggs and omelettes are more difficult.)

It's true that a non-stick pan makes it much easier a beginner, but the downside is that said beginner will destroy a non-stick pan within weeks.



Obviously not for non-stick cookware but the best spatula I own is a $25-30 Victorinox slotted fish spatula. [1] Topped Wirecutter's list too. [2]
