How to I stop scrambled eggs from sticking in the bottom of the pan ?

the problem happenes in stainless steel, aluminium, heavy cast iron skillets, or even my well seasoned wok ....... and it drives me nuts, I get the same thing with omelettes too, whether I try slow medium or fast cooking ............... how do top chefs avoid this ?How to I stop scrambled eggs from sticking in the bottom of the pan ?
Add milkHow to I stop scrambled eggs from sticking in the bottom of the pan ?
Do you use Pam and what is the temp of the burner?
try butter or maybe pam.. something nonstick will work..
Use oil in the pan.
butter or pam.....will resolve it easily in any non-stick pan
Use a low heat, use a non stick pan, constantly move the eggs around (after all you are scrambling them not making an omelette)
dont put the eggs in the pan until it is hot enough that you see the oil slide a cross the pan when you pick it up .
always use a teflon-coated pan when making eggs. also try a little bit of oil to keep them sliding around the pan.
yeah i hate that too i would just use pam or get a non stick pan it is much much better bc with pam with it being a metal pan it couuld still stick bc sometimes when i use the metal pan that i have instead of the non stick pan they stick any way even though i use pam and or butter.

good luck on those eggs.
more oil
You need to grease the pan and lower your cooking temperature. It also sounds like you're cooking the eggs for too long. All eggs stick when they are overcooked, no matter what you do.
Chefs use low heat (especially with high quality skillets like All Clad) and oil. I cook my eggs on low-med heat (with my All Clad) and just use a little light olive oil or pam (I hate all that grease!) If it's really bugging you that bad, use teflon. (just remember, top chefts have someone else clean their pots and pans!)
Get a non stick pan, Teflon....or heat up your stainless pan on medium heat without anything in it for a few minutes. When the pan is hot, add your olive oil ( don't cook with butter, it's not healthy and it burns fast) then turn the heat to high let the oil get hot for 30 seconds or so and pour in your beaten eggs and let sit for a few seconds until you you can see them cooking and mix with a spatula or fork until almost cooked. Turn down to low and finish the last few seconds of cooking and voila'

No stick works every time.
non-stick spray works great
Use a little butter in the pan melted before you put the eggs in, medium heat, and make sure to keep stirring. I cook my eggs with a spatula and it doesn't cause any problems as long as the heat isn't too high. My eggs never stick and I think the spatula and constant attention are the key.
Invest in a good nonstick pan,never use silver forks and spoons, they damage the pan. Non-stick spary can also reduce the sticking.
When mixing your eggs in a bowl - put a splash of water or milk in them and use a No-Stick telphlon pan ...Add vegtable oil to pan then stir in the eggs and constantly stir them and they will come out fluffy and beautiful...GOOD-LUCK...
It is a very simple rule of thunb that all pro chefs use. Hot pan, cold oil, and your food won't stick.



Also you must take into account that you must season your pans as well. A well seasoned pan will have little chance of food sticking, especially a wok.



Please Please Please don't use more oil...unless you want slimed up greasy eggs.



Also having gone to cooking school I will promise you that they (chefs) do not use teflon pans...ach what a way to season your food with chemicals...yuck.
you need to use more oil. Heat up the oil, then pour eggs.
I find that the teflon coated pans work best. If you don't have those, then try using PAM first. Spray pan before you heat it up.

But, the coated cookware works best, till the coating eventually wears off, then you can still spray it with PAM. The cheaper versions of spray coating do not work as well.
...by using loads of butter and oil...very unhealthy but thats why it tastes so good when you eat out....



i have only ever used non-stick frypans to make scrambles eggs - works every time....and you need such little oil.
t-fal and pam work for me. good luck!
i use non-stick pans for eggs and some other sticky things. you can avoid it tasting like you made it in a nonstick pan by still using some olive oil in the bottom of the pan. pam spray is so nasty -- uck. a cheap no stick pan is as good as any other. i actaully have a small one and large one.
butter or pam on the bottom.
Use a non-stick spray before you cook. Simply spray the pan before cooking and you good to go!
Grease the pan with something like oil or butter, and then make sure its hot enough before you pour the eggs in the pan.
