Pro Tips for Best Results
- Use a quality non-stick skillet for even cooking and easy cleanup. The HexClad Hybrid or the Aceself Hybrid skillets will do you the deserved justice.
- Add a tablespoon of milk or water to eggs before whisking for fluffier texture. These liquids adds steam during cooking, making the eggs more delicate. Careful not to add too much water as this can dilute the eggs.3Alana Al-Hatlani. (2023). Water Vs. Milk—Which Makes The Better Scrambled Eggs? SouthernLiving. https://www.southernliving.com/milk-or-water-in-scrambled-eggs-7369255
