Eggs are a nutrient-rich "super food" that is affordable, nutritious, and can also provide protein, fat, and multiple vitamins. However, when frying eggs, many people often encounter problems such as eggs sticking to the pan, oil splattering, or even being fried too greasy. Baking experts introduce a new omelette method using "baking paper", which allows you to fry perfect omelette that is smooth and non-stick without using oil or water.
Omelette is a quick and delicious meal, perfect for breakfast, midnight snack or snack. Not only is the cooking time short and the cost is low, but it is also rich in protein, fat and vitamins, and the calories are relatively low.
But for many people, frying eggs is a troublesome thing. If the pot is not anti-stick enough, the eggs will easily stick to the pan; if too much oil or cream is added to prevent sticking to the pan, not only will the grease splash and clothes will be sprayed with oil spots, but the fried eggs may also be too greasy. Many people often fail when trying to flip the egg, causing the yolk to crack and completely ruin the appearance.
Why do fried eggs stick to the pan?Although the surface of the pan looks smooth, it is actually full of tiny cracks and textures. When protein (such as eggs or meat) comes into contact with a metal surface, a chemical reaction will occur, causing the protein to bind to the pot surface, causing "sticking". This is why most people use oil or cream as a lubricating layer.
In order to solve this problem, some people choose to use the "water decoction method". Cooking creator Kaitlin shared that she adds a small amount of water when frying eggs to give them a texture "between poached eggs and fried eggs."
There is also a more radical lazy method: abandon the pan and use a microwave instead. Tom Ferris, an expert at egg care website Roostys, said: "Many people are surprised that you can actually make an omelette-like texture in the microwave and it only takes 60 seconds."
Now there is a more clever trick, which still uses a pan, but does not require any oil, butter or water, and it will not stick to the pan. The secret is to use "baking paper".
YouTuber Leah Kate McDonnell of the cooking channel "Leah’s Cookbook and Craft Ideas" pointed out: "If you don't like to fry eggs in oil, try laying baking paper in the pan. This method is really easy to use. It does not require oil and will not stick to the pan." Many netizens also praised it after actual testing. Not only is fried eggs healthier, but the yolks also have a richer flavor and the whites are fluffy and refreshing.
Baking paper omelette method1. First cut the baking paper into a shape suitable for the size of the pan and spread it in the pan.
2. Crack the eggs on the paper, heat over medium heat, cover the pot, and fry according to personal preference.
If you want the edges to be slightly crispy, just lift the lid slightly when frying reaches the final stage. But be careful not to use too much heat to avoid burning the baking paper. After frying, there is almost no need to clean the bottom of the pot, and there is no need to worry about oil stains spraying on your clothes.
