1 Invest in a nonstick pan. Avoid using cast-iron or stainless steel pans when you cook your eggs—they’re much more likely to stick and burn. Use a small nonstick pan for cooking 1-4 eggs, a medium sized nonstick pan for 4-6 eggs, and a large nonstick pans for 6 or more eggs.^[1]
- Don’t use metal utensils in a nonstick pan, as they will scrape and scratch the nonstick coating.
2 Stir your eggs with a silicone spatula. Avoid using metal utensils, wooden spoons, or any utensil that has a firm edge because they won’t be able to fully scrape the sides of the pan as you cook. When you stir, make sure to scrape the sides of the pan, the bottom, and especially that little corner where the sides connect to the bottom.^[2]
