I have a new non-stick pan and it’s the first time in my entire life I’ve had this issue when frying an egg.
Whether I’m on 1/10 heat (Gas stove), 3/10, or 5/10 heat it does the same thing: It films over the skin of the egg with a strange texture, but doesn’t actually stick to the pan.
In that video I managed to separate the film from the egg, but I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong to have that film develop in the first place? It’s a firm-plastic texture, like a tupperware lid.
That’s the egg sticking to the pan, try using more fat, that worked for me. Or maybe I just needed to break in the pan. Either case, stop using metal on non stick. Use a silicone out wooden spatula
Stop using non-stick* Switch to cast iron for cheap or stainless steel for fancy
why? whats better about cast iron or stainless steel?
in my experience stainless steel is awful and its always a mess to clean.
A single steelwire sponge can clean a cast iron easy in 60 seconds for even the biggest messes.
Most people that say cast iron are difficult just haven’t been properly taught how to take care of one (including myself in the past). They are a buy for life product, my wife has skillets that have been in the family for generations.
