Chef John's 1 Minute Hack for Perfect Fried Eggs
So glad Chef John is getting into the Shorts game so that more people can discover his wholesome cooking lessons
That's the way Grandma used to do it! Great memories!
amen to that
Chef John is the OG of culinary RUclips.
Seriously he's the best
Are you him 😂
Wow, I've been thinning my whites with a fork for as long as I can remember. I did it because i wanted the whites cooked completely - no runny stuff around the yolk. Good to see someone else doing it.
I find it insane I've never heard about this before but its such a simple and good idea
I can’t abide a runny egg white, either! 😩
@@Ethelgiggle honestly me too I used to just flip em over and found out about the covering it so the steam could cook it but never thought to cut the white lol
Never tried it before but I definitely will now! It just makes so much sense to even out the albumin to distribute the heat better
I never knew I could do that! I'd flip them but the yolk would break. I'd cover them and accidentally cook the yolk. Can't wait to try this.
I've never like fried eggs with crispy bottoms and edges. For me the texture reminds me of thin crunchy plastic. Give me a gently cooked over easy egg every day of the week.
But this is called a “fried egg”. Over easy is soft whites. Soft yolk too
@@Koji-888 Not a super fan of fried eggs. If I had a fried egg sandwich I would peel the crispy plastic edges off the egg, then it was edible. I would actually prefer an over medium egg in a sandwich or burger. It's the texture of the egg shown in the video I can't stand.
@@Koji-888'Over easy' is also a fried egg. You can fry eggs in all manner of ways. My favourite is to fry in butter on a low temp, then flip for the final 30 seconds. The only browning comes from the butter and it's, frankly, delicious
@@AdamLloyd128 sounds good too. I will try this way tmrw
Then this video is not for you.
I totally agree about disrupting the white! It's so key for getting a balanced consistency across the entire egg!
That brown crispy part of the egg grosses me out when I eat it
Evenly burned
Christy parts, the best part! LOL 😂Excellent idea, thank you.
You just put a lid on so that the top will heat up too.
All of the Chef John content I know and love somehow condensed to a single minute. The world will never be the same.
How have I been watching food content for a decade now and have never seen anyone do this before??? It’s perfect!!!
This guy is the best there is
This might be the first time I've EVER seen someone use a metal utensil in a non-stick pan without cringing. The one non-stick pan that I own is known as the "egg pan" because it just makes some egg things much more foolproof. (YES I know that you can do everything with stainless and cast iron/carbon but sometimes I'm hungover and my egg game is not on point. Don't @ me.)
All my pans are non-stick but I still have a pan that's known as the "egg pan." It's not allowed to be used for anything else.
😂.. I understand
Cut the alcohol out and become King of all things egg

@@jayredz7807hmmm.....beer or eggs.........hmmm tough one
what i love about Chef John is that even though i think i have been watching him for a decade, he still have tricks i have not learned (referring to breaking that membrane)
Looks delicious. Love a browned bottom with a runny yolk.
With some toast :)
Yuck. I dont like crunchy fried eggs.
That sounds kinky. I'm here for it!
To me crunchy egg is burnt egg. But to each their own.
@@justruthie5365 Yup for me a fried egg should have pure white albumen that's just set firm & a runny yolk. Crunchy bits get stuck in your teeth & are just off-putting. 🍳
I'm glad to be validated by Chef John doing this, I have never seen anyone else do it but I can't eat them any other way
Chef John is my spiritual pastor
Long live the king. No change of format or algorithm will stop Chef John
Don't use metal utensils on non stick pans my friends! A plastic or rubber spatula is the tool for the job and won't mark up and release those funky nonstick chemicals into your food . 😊👍
I'd suggest not using non stick pans at all
Wood spatula.
@@philanders3705what kind do you use?
Now science says nonstick anyway releases chemicals, no matter what you do. Better learn to use seasoned cast iron or steel if you want a chemical free fried egg.
I use stainless steel and cast iron. if you season them proper, they become nonstick and work very well. Plus the flavor is much much better.
Chef John is doing the lord's work.
I still like to add a bit of water, cover, and steam the top until it’s just translucent.
This looks good but then it tastes a bit like a steamed egg
same
you can combine the two methods, i always do this trick and have for years, if it still needs more on top then the lid goes on!
Instead of a lid you can use your plate… just wipe the condensation off the plate.
As a bonus your plate is heated.
@@realrasher great idea!
Yess, been doing this for years! I hate the thicker white around the yolk that has a slimy texture. Ruins the whole egg unless you overcook the yolk
Not to tell Chef John how to cook but the pan and seasoning of the pan to non stick is EXTREMELY Important.
I have an entire video folder saved of Chef John videos and think of him every time I pull out my cayenne jar
I love it when eggs are brown and crisp at the edges with runny yolks :)
That's a great technique. Going to use it.
How have i never thought to do this before???! Thank you!!
Love when people are "teaching" and start out doing something like running a metal spoon over a non stick pan. Brilliant
Yeah....mess up that non-stick coating. 😂😂
Anyone trying to learn how to cook from YT, this guy’s channel has to be one of your top. He’s fantastic, unlike this burnt egg.
MY FRIED EGGS ARE NEVER BROWN.
All the best fried eggs have brown and crispy edges!
Love crispy-fried egg and runny yolk. Those of you who don’t, just keep walking.
I just brown my edges. Crispy edges.
And the yolk.. a tiny bit more cooked. - Still runny. (gooey) 🌸
Try flicking some water on the pan then cover it. The light steam with slightly cook the top a tad bit in short time
Breaking through the membrane was next level for me. Definitely gonna be doing that from now on.
Nice tip! Also, covering the pan cooks that membrane.
Whith spinkles of water on the pan for some
Nothing worse than a snotty top to the yolk.
I wish you'd make a 8-10hr audio book (no ads, black screen) just talking bout eggs for my sleep playlist
My kids used to call that yummy brown crust..." Brown Lace"....and they wouldn't eat it.
Thanks to a Family Circle cartoon from the early 90s. 😂😂😂
Circus*
@@ernienegrete5702 exactly...thank you
Chef John never fails to teach me something new.
Literally the best chef I've seen on RUclips
“Literally”?
@@omcorc yup
Oooooooo 🤯 I’ve done this by accident but without realizing HOW I did it
Thank you chef John 😭💕💕💕💕💕🎉
Thanks Chef.
😮 oooo, some rice and kimchi with that fried egg 🍳 😋
Ooo I'm so happy you're doing shorts now
Way cool technique for centering the egg and balancing the white!
Way to go John!
Love a crispy bottomed egg!!
Thank you for the tips, I can't believe something so simple never occurred to me my whole life 👍
Use the rounded bit of shell you've got from cracking the egg. It's quicker and there's no risk of damaging the pan.
Never use the shell - risk getting salmonella...
@@noellerubel4686They mean use the shell to break the edge of the white membrane, not use the shell in the food itself. In the video, we see a metal fork in a non-stick pan, which is a universal no-no for most people. Chef John can probably get away with it, but most folks shouldn't try it so... again...
When you break the egg and drop it into the pan, _use the shell to break the white membrane (rather than using a metal fork in a non-stick pan), then discard the shell as usual and cook the egg as usual._
@RichardHarlos I realize this. Salmonella is on the outer shell and u contaminate the food this way !
Very helpful video, i cooked a few eggs after watching this and they turned out pretty good
I know many say that eggs should be fried over low heat ... but I like medium high ... I like the bottom and edges lacy and crispy
Truth!
I like crispy, but I'll usually do that with a lot of oil. Excited to try this approach now!
Both ways are good IMO. Softer is a more European style and the crispy bottom I saw all the time in Asia.
@@bd80247 I only know the crispy fried eggs from my northern English grandmother lol
great tip with evening out the egg white, I have never thought of that! Thanks!
If my fried egg looked like that, I wouldn't even give it to my dog.
Do you prefer a sulphery overcooked yolk?
@@jamesj9537 Why would I prefer an overcooked yolk? What an odd conclusion.
@@jamesj9537 I assume they're talking about the obvious problem, being that the egg is burnt
@@jamesj9537your a sulphery overcooked yolk
@@jamesj9537what dyu know sulphery isn't even a word.
I love me some Chef John! He has the best combination of good recipes and fun personality in the cooking game. Keep it up C.J. we love you.
Burnt and undercooked.. that takes skill
Nuh uh :(
Let's not forget Not flipping the Egg.
So that It isn't cooked on both sides.
I'm so glad I saw this because I'm a fan of running warm yolk.
I do 2 eggs for 1 sandwich thank you for the video & add a little bit of hash browns to catch the runny yolk drippings.
that is burnt at my house and my guests would not like it
Sounds like you have some horrible guests
Wow… thanks to this maestro… I learnt eggs could be fried!
Hi Chef John!...how could i not recognize that voice??..:))
He's the GOAT
We love ya Chef John!
How to overcook an egg.
Chef John is amazing.
More tips like this please. I hate when my yolk isnt centered. This is a cool trick.
I love the white breaking idea. I'll have to do that today!
So simple yet genius. I feel so dumb for not thinking of this.
How you like your egg cooked is a matter of personal taste so the only way to do it wrong is if it is wrong for YOU. Personally, I don't like runny whites or yolks and I consider crispy brown areas on an egg overcooked and inedible. Like I said, it's all a matter of personal preference.
I love that so many people are getting all butthurt because someone cooked an egg differently from the way they prefer.
Some people like to eat burnt toast (my uncle) each to their own. These eggs are burnt imo.
@@user-jt1jv8vl9r Thank you for making my point.
Been following Chef John for a decade. Glad to see him on Shorts.
If you serve me an egg with rubbery burnt edges, it's getting thrown at the wall.
You're a child.
@@mastabasfrfr
I’ve been a chef in Michelin star restaurants for 7 years now. How have I gone so long without knowing this?? Thank you chef John!
No sir. That's rubber on the bottom 😅
❤ Love you this guy's voice .... And the cooking tips. ❤
"I'll show you how to make a perfect egg" - massively scorches and burns it 😅
Chef joooohn!
I miss you man 🤣
Great you’re making shorts now so I can see you in my feed ❤❤❤
Looks absolutely wonderful and delicious and well done just like you always do you cook things ever so perfectly
Chef John is the best.
I never thought of that. Great idea - thank you !
I put put in a tablespoon of water and add the egg when it starts to steam. Then I put on a glass lid tightly. The steam will cook the top of the egg and you can watch it start to turn pink. As soon as the top of the egg is completely pink I take the pan off the heat, wait a few seconds, and then remove the lid. That’s how I like them; everyone is different.
I will add that I’m a big fan of Chef John; it is rather irritating that Chefs John seem to be proliferating (probably far more irritating to Chef John). Lately too it’s been harder to find videos with his face; too bad, I really enjoy those.
Such a temptingly beautiful fried egg😊
Chef John is the man
Metal on Teflon!!! Lol i remember being a kid and getting screamed at by a jazzy nurse about ruining his teflon pan. 😮 I had no idea what he meant .... Lol
Yesss i just rewatched Chef John's shorts the other day and was hoping that he would make more soon! My food wishes have been answered
Haven't heard this wonderful voice for so long. Can't wait for the small wooden spoon to show up again!
This worked! Thank you Chef J!
Over easy and no brown & no runny yolk.
That is MY perfect egg.
- Matt’s dad Dan
You bring me a Chrispy fried egg,ill throw it back at you. If I had wanted a hard fried I would've ordered it.
10/4 Good Buddy. My dad taught me to make brown edges around the egg. One moment of just a very few he taught me...😔
I love cooking fried eggs but rarely do it because the way I made is messy. Thank you for such helpful guides.
Another thing that can help: put a lid on the frying pan before you cook the egg. When you put the egg in later, add in a drop of water. Be careful cause it splatters, but it makes the exterior of the egg cooked while keeping the yolk uncooked :)
Glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t enjoy crispy eggs. Awesome short for those who do though!
It's a frickin fried egg for heaven's sake! Gimme a break!
The secret is simple.
- Low heat. You will be amazed how little heat is required to seize up the egg white protein. Heck, this is what poaching does.
- Buy a Circulon non-stick frying pan and only use it for egg frying. Also, use a silicone spatula for crying out loud. Metal spoon WTH?
Food wishes is my place for the best dishes! Buttermilk fried chicken and chicken dumpling soup any day!
This is why Chef John will always be the alpha and Omega of food RUclips.
Simple tricks that you never thoughts of, but can change how you cook.
You the man Chef John! 👊🏼
Foodwishes the OG RUclips cookshow. I learned so much when I first started cooking for my self from this show.
Team crispy fried egg here!
Hot crispy white egg with runny yolk with Pad Krapao and all others the rice dish are the best for me.
(Imagine hot crispy toast with butter, they are not burnt! And great quality croissants with crispy layers and edges are not plastic things!!)
Just don’t let them sit too long to get cold and soggy they will be great with chili oils and seasoned soy sauce or whatever asian twist version of seasonings imo.
Maillard reactions are key!!
First chef John video was the gran marnier soufflé I made for my mom on Mother’s Day ❤ like 10 years ago
Crispy whites and runny yolk is a perfect egg ❤
Ok I have to try this for lunch today!
I never knew this!! Thank you!! 😮❤
That egg white hack is pretty genius
Crispy fried eggs are divine 😻
Haha just as I get up to make myself some eggs. Thank you. Idk why RUclips unsubscribed me from you, but im happy I found your channel again. It's been a couple years.
A chef John short! Commenting for the algorithm :)
I always break that thick part of the egg white, too. Then I cover it for 2-3 minutes and let it steam cook. I’m gonna try the crispy egg white method just to change things up!
For those who like the top of their egg white cooked while still having a perfectly runny yolk, just put a little water in the pan and cover the egg.. The steam will do the work.
Well, thank you Chef John!😊
Using a metal spoon on a nonstick pan is gonna scratch off the coating, not only making it lose the "nonstick" part, but also cause it to rust.
Heck yeah, Chef John Shorts let’s go
