Egg Cooking Tips

  • Non-stick Pans: A good non-stick pan is ideal for cooking eggs, because they help prevent eggs from sticking and are easy to clean.
  • Whisk: A whisk is the most effective way to help make your scrambled eggs fluffy or to stiffen egg whites for meringues.
  • Spatulas: A flipping spatula with a broad, flat, flexible blade is ideal for flipping fried eggs or pancakes.  A rubber spatula is ideal for baking, because it hugs the bowl to help mix all the ingredients.  A wooden spatula is ideal for scrambling eggs and making omelettes.
  • Microwave Egg Cookers: Our egg cookers make preparing a variety of eggs in the microwave fast and easy to clean, especially when you’re in a rush.
