🥄 How to
1
Pour in a circle along the edge of the pan, or from the center outward
2
Pour in a thin stream, little by little
3
For beaten egg, wait a moment before stirring so it turns fluffy
💡 Why do it this way
- It doesn’t pool in one spot and spreads evenly
- Egg sets in big, fluffy pieces
⚠️ Be careful
- Pouring near the edge, watch out for steam and splatter
- In egg dishes, cook until the egg has set
