Can You Scramble

[TheOtherHalf]

My OH had scrambled eggs for the first time whilst at a hotel at the weekend. I usually poach them for him. He loved them and started asking how to do them. This is how the conversation went ;-
Me - You just whisk them up and cook them
Him- But do you boil or fry them first ?
Me- (after picking myself up of the floor laughing) Neither, They are raw.
Him- Raw ? You mean Im eating raw eggs ?
Me - No, you crack a raw egg into a pan and cook it gently
Him - Then do you drain the water off ?
Me - (PMSL) What water ?
Him - The water that you cook them in !!
Me - You dont cook them in water. Its just eggs in a pan or dish in the microwave cos they can burn the pan which is why I dont them them

Now come on all you fellas (or women) out there, how many of you can scramble eggs

I can. Not very often but I do scramble. I whisk 3 eggs with a little milk, salt and pepper and then in a saucepan, stirring constantly. I take off the heat while still a bit liquidy.

Scrambled or hard boiled? Can't decide.........

yes i can scramble eggs. very very tasty too done in a frying pan or saucepan, with a little milk and salt and pepper added. Scrumptious.

Mamy, i'm going to show the good wife your video explaining how i'd like my eggs scrambled in the future. i'll let you know her response ...

i can scramle eggs but hardly ever do it. I like boingy scrambled eggs where as mr bednobs like sloppy. we both loathe the inbetween.

I'm not keen on cooking and save a few dishes as a special treat to have when eating out. Scrambled eggs are one of them.

Anyone, even a grim cafe, will make a better job of scrambling eggs than me. I love them, but not enough to bother making them myself anymore. The few attempts have resulted in either a dry (pan) or rubbery (microwave) waste of food!

so you have never served him scrambled eggs, how long have you been married may I ask ? they are nice if you add a little single cream when you whisk them up also add salt and coarse pepper at the same time & always turn off the heat just before they are cooked, the heat already in the pan will do the rest, don't overcook they will be hard & "rubbery".

[granny grump]

Grandad G only uses water not milk - makes them lighter - and as you say don't cook for too long

Wouldn't dream of buying scrambled eggs.
A skill worth acquiring, vey simple really, just requires vigilance. Delicious plain, with mushrooms or smoked salmon or even sprinkled with grated cheese.

Dee Sa. We have been married nearly 40 years and he never shown any inclination towards scrambles. He only ever asked for them poched or boiled so why would I do them. Ive made them myself many a time for a patient.

Thanks for all your comments. Very interesting so I cant decide who to give `best answer` so Im going to award you all a Gold Star *

I love scrambled eggs, especially with toast and a little tomato sauce. Yummy.
Mr puss doesnt cook at all and never has!
I tried to get him to cook mashed potatoes yrs back, and he had to ask me if He had to drain the water off or mashed them with water in. I gave up. lol
