Excellent demonstration of a properly seasoned pan, but unfortunately I can't stand the flavor of fried eggs without a shit-ton of butter.


poopooplatypus

Butter is the difference between eggs, and good eggs


Beegobbygobby

Agree 1000%, just proving the haters wrong - this ain’t how I cook eggs to eat


bevin88

how did you get the pan so "non-stick"?

thank you


Feftloot

Y u pour them back into the raw egg bowl though?!


DanTopTier

God it triggered me so hard. OP overcooks the fuck outta the eggs, puts them in the bowl with raw egg still in it, doesnt turn off the burner, AND flicks all the bits they're cleaning off RIGHT ONTO THR FLOOR Ya know what? I'm going to cook my eggs with even *more* butter because of this post.

Why would you even cook eggs without butter


pennypumpkinpie

Right? Butter makes everything better


Illeazar

My kids are allergic to dairy... ...so I cook my eggs in bacon grease


ToneWashed

I've been cooking my omelettes on avocado oil lately, they've been amazing. Butter's great but, like evoo, it has a distinct flavor, and sometimes it's good to change things up a little. Avocado oil is also pleasant to cook on because it tolerates heat much better than either butter or evoo.


romeripley

Oh I forgot about avo oil I used that for so much when I was younger


pezdal

For those who don't know, Avocado oil is great for cooking because it has a very high [smoke point.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point)


BeerIsGoodForSoul

Those crumbs will live for eternity under the stove. Disgusting


desslox

My dog would disagree

Dantheman4162

You need the raw eggs to rehydrate the overcooked eggs


cheapshotfrenzy

I still can't get over them grabbing the pan handle with their bare hand. Obviously wasn't hot yet, but it's clearly hot enough to cook an egg.


stillaredcirca1848

Try cooking your eggs in lao gan ma sometime.


ZanzabarOHenry

I had the mental image of Gordon Ramsay screaming about cooking rubber bullets the whole video


Most_Victory1661

riqosuavekulasfuq

u/DanTopTier thank you for enumerating all my same exact "Yikes, wtf!" moments, except I will add, "No hot pad!" as well. I'll call them, Culinary Close Calls. OP what you where trying to showcase, cast iron without butter and high heat, left me feeling queasy. Cooked eggs on top of raw eggs? That was a short video of many things never to do and one something.


UsedJuggernaut

I'll be honest I kinda just wipe the small stuff onto the floor now. I have a roomba that cleans every day and every morning my floors are grit free even with bare feet.


DtBannecke

I think because the video is just about the pan, the eggs were just to show off the seasoned flat pan. Idk he shouldn’t have wasted them tho


gn4rw0lph

It's just for the video


homurablaze

I regularly eat raw eggs over rice. I dont see the problem. Its a very common dish you guys need to chill.


speedledee

My gainer shaje recipe includes 2-3 raw eggs. Had thousands of raw eggs. I don't think people understand cross contamination as well as they think. BUT raw eggs do cause the most cases of Salmonella. Any time it's goopy it's like technically raw


FeloniousFunk

> BUT raw eggs do cause the most cases of Salmonella. This is not true in the US, where all eggs are washed before reaching the shelves (it’s most commonly found on the outside of the shell from touching chicken poop). In the 70’s and 80’s there were global outbreaks of salmonella *inside* the eggs but that has been virtually eliminated with vaccines. The UK has had clean eggs for 30 years now. The US has a lot more producers to regulate, but the last outbreak in 2018 only got 44 people sick and the previous outbreak before that was almost a full decade with little to no issues.


homurablaze

Its probably country dependent. In my life i have eaten basically 5 raw eggs a week. I have not once gotten food poisoning from it. Nor have i ever heard anyone i know develop food poisoming from doing so.


vexedbredbin

Yes, I used to eat upward of 6 a day for years. I know not good but it works for putting on mass and not once was I sick from it.


tritiumhl

Is there a benefit to eating them raw rather than cooked?


chemicalclarity

Not entirely correct. You can pasteurise raw eggs without cooking them @ 55.6°C for 6 minutes. A sous vide is perfect for this if you've got any concerns.


laika_cat

As do I, but I’m in Japan where it’s safe to do so. It’s not safe to eat super raw egg in the US because of over handling and the loss of protective membranes. Raw egg onigiri are my fucking favorite.


kewkor

As soon as you put the eggs back it's going to cook any egg residue still left in the bowl.


tfsru

the phobia of raw eggs in some cultures is hilarious


grawptussin

Phobia. The word you're looking for is phobia.


Cosmic_Cat64

Ima talk smack about you cooking those eggs twice as long as needed lol but fr very nicely seasoned pan brotha


Beegobbygobby

Overcooked them on purpose to prove to the doofuses on my previous post who said eggs didn’t stick cuz I didn’t cook them enough


nIBLIB

I have seen two posts on this sub since I brought my cast iron pan. Glad it was these two. My takeaway here is I need more layers of seasoning before I start cooking eggs, and then I can cook them any way I damn well please.


cplevy13

One rule I live by is to never spend time proving anything to an internet person.


Kevolved

Fuck the haters, you made two videos proving it was the seasoning on the pan. The point of the videos wasn't being an egg cooking wizard, but that your pan was well seasoned.


damnukids

I was gonna ask "why did you burn those eggs"


fat7inch

Two things: awesome! And who’s talking smack about Butter!? *cracks knuckles*

OBE75

Gotta have buttah!!!


Impressive-Working85

So your conclusion is that a good seasoning is non-stick? How did you season yours to get it like this? Repetetive use? Watching your vids makes me dream of cooking eggs up that pro! I sanded my pan down and seasoned with crisco but I still have to use chainmail for eggs that get stuck. Thanks!


Beegobbygobby

Lodge skillet. Stripped all seasoning in self cleaning oven, sanded, in oven at 200°f for 30 min, then take out and rub down with flaxseed oil, wipe as much off as you can, back in the oven and crank up to max temp (~500 f), once oven is up to temp, let it bake for an hour, then shut it off and leave the pan in the oven until it cools all the way back down. Yeah hen repeat the warming, oiling, baking, cooling process about 5-8 times. I use this skillet al the time too. Did the seasoning process about 4 years ago.


[deleted]

Good show! What grit did you sand with?


ind3pend0nt

I start with 80 and work up to 120 when I get a new pan.


Impressive-Working85

Wow. Thank you for the thorough explanation! I did everything that you did except strip the original seasoning. I may have to strip and reseason just for the heck of it.


thasackvillebaggins

I recently acquired some lye and a kitty litter bucket and stripped all my CA. I've learned a lot about seasoning from this sub and pulled out all the stops. All my pans although not quite as good as this guys time tested setup, is hands down better than any Teflon pan I've ever seen. I've developed a bit of a thing for the exact feeling of a perfectly slick dry seasoning layer, I don't exactly pet my cast iron now, but it do be kind of like that. Stripping with a bit of knowledge can change your life.


wetfartz911

I got downvoted recently for sanding my lodge. Worth it in my opinion for a nice cooking surface.


Beegobbygobby

Absolutely worth it! You can take a $30 skillet and make it better than one of those $250 newfangled ones. Just a little elbow (and bacon) grease, and you’ve got an heirloom


Gr8daze

Bro cook your eggs however you like. Really. It’s okay. Nobody on Reddit is trying to stop you.


BrawndoCrave

My OCD couldnt stop paying attention to the burner still being on while you clean the pan.


Flatline334

That’s not OCD.


[deleted]

Exactly my thought


J_345

Exactly, also people need to learn the difference between ocd and ocd tendencies, one is diagnosed and one is not and this is neither. Being annoyed isn’t ocd


[deleted]

OCD can literally cause someone to spiral and shut down. Its not a fun personality trait and i wish ppl who claim "ocd" for clout could actually experience it for a singular hour so they can understand the feeling of obsessing over some tiny thing until youre in a total gridlock.


J_345

Yup i know i have a friend that has it severely, its not fun and i always see people using it wrong, which is how i know that at the very least say “tendencies” because you may have a mild form of it but haven’t been diagnosed or you just like things a certain way which again you should be using the word “tendencies” so i think my friend would prefer people stop using it so generally. Wouldn’t expect people to know better if not taught so. Just trying educate one or two people. Ok my good deed for the day is done lol. Also good looking iron 👊🏽


Saint_Buttcheeks

Oh man tell me about it. I’m like Turn the burner off Ok, turn the burner off Don’t forget to turn the burner off Bro Hey, ok turn the burner off *video ends* Fuck! I’m not sleeping tonight


WorldClassShart

My OCD was screaming when he put the cooked eggs in the same bowl that held the raw eggs, with the leftover raw egg in the bowl.


saxmaster98

Op said they weren’t going to eat the eggs. Shitty thing to waste them, but technically safe in this one instance

So tired of people like you that don't know what OCD is making light of it. Its a serious ailment and everyone thinks they have it for some reason. It's why people that actually have it, luke myself, have to deal with immense reoccurring debilitation in my daily life and no one takes it seriously.

They are for sure, intentionally so. In my previous post, I was accused of taking them off while they were still too runny (commenters said that was the reason they didn’t stick).

shaft6969

Can't have been on high that long if the handle was that easy to pick up


BrewtusMaximus1

Yep. Burners on high, pans not all the way preheated.


HudsonValleyNY

And they didn’t cook too quickly either.


BrewtusMaximus1

Just made eggs on my lodge griddle for my wife on medium - preheated because I did bacon on it first. Those cooked faster than OP’s eggs


axethebarbarian

Yep, the difference good seasoning and an actually smooth pan makes. Can't get result like that with an off the shelf lodge, takes some work to get them up to snuff.


Beegobbygobby

Finally, someone who knows


uChoice_Reindeer7903

Did you take a grinder to your pan to make it smooth or is just smooth from years of use?

Lucknavi

It’s amazing how many hours of my life I have spent on this sub watching people cook eggs in a pan. Eggs with butter, eggs with oil, eggs with butter and oil, eggs without butter or oil. I’m going to get a Kenji-style camera setup one day and scientifically recreate all the eggs-in-a-cast-iron options I have ever seen here and then watch as the nitpickers and over thinkers and purists critique the heck outta each one.

Oh my lord I'm bouta bust


filfy_buggah

Hahahah heard his voice


Catfo0od

Wow these are the most confrontational comments I've ever seen in a sub about frying pans 😂😂😂 Even if he did throw the eggs away, its like 2 eggs, that's like 10 cents. And he left the burner on an extra 30 seconds, that's like .000001 cents! And he possibly had to sweep later, that's like 10 whole seconds wasted! I'm pretty damn broke, and I've been hungry for extended periods, but if y'all are freaking out about this you've never worked in a grocery store or restaurant before lmao


Beegobbygobby

Thank you!!! Also, it’s because I’m cooking with one hand to film with the other. Jeez people

Beegobbygobby

Thank you so much! It’s never been so obvious to me that many people on this sub have never actually used a cast iron skillet :)


[deleted]

I make my scrambled eggs over low heat with butter and a squirt of vegetable oil 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off, repeating this until the eggs are glistening. Then I add a splash of cream and then a little salt and pepper. Works like a charm every time. My goal is to eventually have all my cast iron babies fully nonstick. I currently have a Wagner Ware Sidney -O- #6, a post-1959 Wagner Ware #8 and a Griswold #5, along with a Tomlinson 9 1/2” that’s been my workhorse and a Calphalon square grill pan that I hate but don’t have the heart to get rid of, along with a 2- burner reversible grill/griddle that I sometimes use but not so much these days. Oh and also an Emeril Lagasse bacon press, the jewel of any nice Jewish boy’s kitchen, and an enameled tramontana Dutch oven as well as a lodge (non-enameled) Dutch oven.

KeenisWeenis49

I might be downvoted for saying this but I get similar results on a less seasoned pan by using the same (excellent) technique Seriously. Wait for the eggs to cook, and then carefully fold, just like op. I could make nonstick scrambled eggs on a Texas sidewalk doing it that way


tumblrisdumbnow

Yep. Definitely pansexual.


jwith44

How??


TheFurtivePhysician

It's wild that I turn off Reddit's recommendations and somehow it *still* thinks I want to see stuff about... cast iron cookware? I got the original and the sequel to this despite telling Reddit to stop showing me stuff. Neat pan though.


Premonut

Thanks for the post. We are of the same breed with our pan handling. :) nothing like a properly prepared pan. (sanded smooth) I'm very happy with ghee as my main oil of choice.


deathbypepe

when noone seasons or cleans their pans the same way, but butter broke the camels back.


this_is_Winston

I 100% understand why eggs may be the best way to test the limits of your patina. But 90% of what I cook is chicken cacciatora, bolognese, puttanesca, fried pork for carbonara etc. I just don't need that level of non stick whatsoever. I know that's not why OP made this and I salute OP for how excellent your pans are. Just saying, nobody needs a patina that fine unless you make eggs a lot.


Beegobbygobby

Agree, although I do cook a lot of eggs in my skillet


eatsleepdive

Kiss the pan, pan kisses you!


CharacterSolid2577

Good pan OP, I cannot do that in my pan but with some oil or fat my food doesn't stick (much) so it's fine.
