May is National Egg Month

May is National Egg Month. Eggs are one of the easiest things to cook, but they are also where mistakes show up fast. If your heat is too high, they overcook. If your pan is not in good condition, they stick. If your timing is off, the texture will be wrong.

This is why eggs are a good place to focus. When you get eggs right, the rest of your cooking improves too.

Common issues when cooking eggs

Most problems come from a few things:

• Heat is too high
• Pan is not preheated properly
• Surface has buildup or damage
• Eggs are left on heat too long

Fixing these makes a big difference immediately.

Basic control matters more than recipes

You do not need complicated steps to cook eggs well.

Use medium to low heat
Ceramic pans hold heat well, so you do not need high heat.

Preheat well
Let the pan warm up until water sizzles on the surface, then add butter or oil before adding eggs.

Watch the texture
Remove eggs from heat before they fully set as they will continue cooking after.

Simple techniques you can try

We shared a video showing how to flip an egg using our DaTerra Cucina pan and Lid.

We also have a video on scrambled eggs using DaTerra Cucina ceramic pans.

These are simple adjustments, but they improve results right away.

What to focus on this month

Keep it simple:

• Preheat your pan dry until water sizzles on the surface 
• Adjust cooking heat to slightly lower than usual
• Add oils just before adding the eggs
• For scrambled eggs, keep the mixture moving by scraping down to surface
• For fried eggs, remove pan from heat and let it cool slightly to allow egg to release
• Keep your pan clean and maintained

You will see the difference quickly.
