Cooking Eggs, Pancakes & Crepes… Eggs are pure protein. Having no natural oils, a small amount of lubricant like unsalted butter, margarine or oil, is required to prevent eggs and egg based recipes from sticking to the pan. Secondly, the pan must be clean, and last but not least, the heat must be adjusted to medium or medium-high heat to cook. We suggest the use of unsalted butter as a lubricant and to achieve the proper cooking temperature for eggs. If the butter burns, the pan is too hot. Once you have learned the proper cooking temperature, you may use oil or margarine as a lubricant. With each recipe in this section, comes a lesson in how to cook eggs perfectly, everytime. Frying Eggs… Preheat 8-inch Gourmet Skillet over medium heat. Place a small amount of butter in the pan, enough to cover the bottom when melted. When water bubbles release from the butter (2-3 minutes) and begin to pop, add eggs. When whites cook to desired firmness, flip eggs and cook on other side to desired firmness. Optional, cover with 8-inch cover and cook to desired firmness. |

French Scrambled Eggs... Prepare eggs to scramble by placing 2 eggs in bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and whip thoroughly with a fork. Preheat 8-inch Gourmet Skillet over medium heat. Place a small amount of butter in the pan, enough to cover the bottom when melted. When water bubbles release from butter (2-3 minutes) and begin to pop, add eggs. As eggs begin to cook, draw cooked part toward center with a fork allowing uncooked egg batter to move to hot surface of pan. Repeat process until eggs are scrambled to desired firmness.

Soft Cooked Eggs... In a cool 1-quart saucepan (1.5 L utensil) place eggs and 2 tablespoons water for one egg, adding 1 tablespoon for each additional egg, up to six. (Use ½ cup (120 ml) water for more than 6 eggs.) Cover pan and open vent. Cook on medium heat until steam appears, about 2 minutes. For electric range, turn off heat. For gas range, turn flame as low as possible. Time the eggs from the instant steam appears through Vapor Vent. Close vent and continue cooking 3-4 minutes for soft cooked, 5 minutes for very firm white and medium soft yolk. Hard Cooked Eggs... Use the same method as above, adding additional water for additional eggs. Cover and close the vent. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn burner off and leave covered 10 minutes. Cool in cold water, then peel. Poached Eggs... Pour 1 cup (240 ml) hot water into medium fry pan with egg poaching rack… Break eggs into lightly buttered egg cups. Place on egg poaching rack.
