Common questions

  1. How do I know when the eggs are cooked? - The eggs are cooked when the edges are set, but the top is still slightly runny. They will continue to cook off the heat, so it's best to remove them from the heat just before they are fully set.
  2. Can I add other ingredients to the eggs? - Absolutely! You can add shredded cheese, cooked bacon, diced vegetables, or any other toppings you prefer. Just make sure to add them after the eggs start to set to ensure even distribution.
  3. Can I make scrambled eggs instead of a single egg? - Yes, you can whisk the eggs in a bowl and scramble them in the skillet instead of making a single large egg. The cooking process is similar, but you will need to stir the eggs continuously to create fluffy scrambled eggs.
