The Pan Tip To Follow For Perfectly Cooked Over-Easy Eggs
By Julia Mullaney
When you cook eggs over-easy, there are two criteria for the perfect egg pan: Make sure it's large enough so the eggs have room to cook, and make sure it is nonstick.
If the yolks are too close together, they might not firm up enough. A pan that's too small means the eggs will cook on top of each other, which lessens the chances of even cooking.
A pan should be at least 8 inches in diameter to cook one egg, but 10 inches is the best option for two. A 12-inch pan is your best bet to cook more than four eggs.
A nonstick frying pan is also a non-negotiable when making eggs. Without one, you might quickly overcook the eggs while trying to scrape them off the bottom.
Most nonstick cookware is coated in something called PTFE, commonly known as Teflon. You can also use an uncoated, naturally nonstick material, like a cast iron skillet.
