problems frying egg

before u put the egg in? mebe left over water/residue (dried soap), usually happens to old pans

i think olive oil is a somewhat delicate oil with a low smoking point, mebe u want to swap to vegetable oil?

nah it was after i put the egg in but it might just be because it wasn't fully heated yet

good point about the residue that could be it, it is an old pan. i know olive oil has a lower smoking point but i've made eggs with it before and it hasn't been a problem.

omelet du fromage

omelettes sounds good i don't have cheese and stuff tho

ye when i use oils it explods aswell, just use some butter/margarine instead

lold

lol blog.

Try turning down the heat and use less olive oil

omelettes are the nuts. onions, chess, pepper. yum :D

definitely problem with oil, there are more than one type of olive oil
google some omelette recipes and keep in mind your omelettes need to cook for less than what you think

i've got a fairly good knack at them now =D gogo

Holy shit you are dumb.

I use butter just make sure to use a low heat so it looks pro underneath (and taking the pan off the heat sometimes)

i just ended up going to denny's

thanks for the advices though everyone.

cariadon: when you say there are more than one type of olive oil do you mean just like virgin and extra virgin kinda thing or do you mean there's more than one kind of EVOO?

love you funktion

some are for salads and some are ok to fry stuff with on lower heat because they will start giving out smoke at a lower temperature..

olie oil is not good for fryign eggs. use butter or vegetable oil

eggs taste like crap with olive oil, use butter

Can't even cook a simple egg, so you resort to Denny's. How typical of a poker player!!

I agree with gotunk, olive oil has too much flavor for an egg. I would go canola, or butter.

hahaha so true

Use canola or vegetable oil, butter and olive oil have very low burning temperatures.

rofl noob.

use veggie oil or my personal fav, grapeseed oil, better for your body.

are you using a nonstick Teflon pan or a stainless steel pan? the stainless steel pans can tend to suck balls for frying eggs since eggs can stick to it and oil can pop up everywhere like you described. Make sure the heat isn't too high or too low, gotta find the right temp. Usually it's the med or slightly lower setting on the electric stove. Also on a Teflon pan it's easier to clean, just wipe it down and it's no mess ez pz.

Let the pan warm up before you put anything in it (throw water on the pan and if it siZZles, it's ready). Keep the heat low, like ~ lvl 3, ...Add oil and shortly after add eggs...make sure that water isn't splashing into the pan, etc.

im almost positive the reason for the exploding is because there was some water in the pan. when you heat water and oil together, that will happen. If you just washed the pan and it wasn't properly dried, make sure to wipe it down or to heat the pan and make sure the water has evaporated first before putting in the oil.

ya i always used evoo instead of vegetable oil just for health reasons, but i might check out grapeseed now.

it is a stainless steel pan.

yeah i was probably putting oil in too soon, basically i was heating the pan for like a 30 seconds, then put the oil in, then after a few minutes put the egg in (no idea why i did it this way)

hmm, yeah i did wipe the pan down before using it but maybe putting the oil in too soon there was still moisture or something that didn't evaporate, makes sense.

I started using a couple dabs butter instead of oil with my omelets...that's the best advice I've ever read on this site!!
