How to fry an egg (with or without salt)
An article in Yummy magazine’s website entited “How to fry an egg” sent me down memory lane. It reminded me of a Home Economics class in high school where each student had to fry an egg under the watchful eye of our teacher. When it was my turn, I made sure the pan was heated and lightly oiled. Then I cracked the egg over the pan, let the egg cook for about 3 minutes, then slid it out of the pan with a spatula.
We were graded. I got an 18 over 20.
18 over 20. It’s not bad, right? Not bad, not bad. But the perfectionist in me just HAD to ask the teacher why I didn’t get a perfect 20. You know what cost me two points?
She said I forgot to put salt. SALT!
I know that salt is like a given seasoning, but I don’t like salt on my egg. I just don’t. Sure it makes it more flavorful, but I’m happy without salt. Did I tell my teacher that? Oh yes. Did she give me my two points? Of course not.
Even if that incident happened almost twenty years ago (I suddenly feel so old), I still remember it vividly. It’s made such an impact in my life that EVERY TIME I fry an egg that high school moment comes to mind. It’s also the reason why I always ask other people how they like their eggs, if I’m the one cooking. That’s because I want to give you 20/20 eggs, not 18/20!
How do you like your eggs anyway? I like mine a little runny, then over easy, and yes, without salt.

i eat 5 eggs a week. 2 sunnyside (runny center no brown edges) 1 scrambled (pepper and salt at the end, runny) and 1 poached and 1 soft boiled.
i always put salt and pepper the last minute.

I like mine semi-runny. So I flip it at the end to cook the top a bit as well.
