I used to work at a breakfast place. It really makes a big difference to be sure to add enough oil in the pan and get it hot. Nonstick, and don’t touch it until the whites set on the bottom. Give it a gentle shake to see if it’s stuck, if it is, get a silicone spatula and gently nudge it. Then you can practice flipping in pan if you want. I really like to utilize a lid with water, but we didn’t do that, just reduced the heat a bit and let it cook. :-)
Edit: re: flipping. Really make sure you don’t add too much oil because if you do, you can burn yourself. If that happens, no emergency, just place a towel on your hand and arm.
I find that for me it rarely gets crisp in a way that will break or crack and it just ends up kinda sinewy. I’ve worried that maybe its cause I’m using steam with a lid to help set the top but I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong
As in other replies, you want a really hot pan and some fat in there. Steam might be an issue so you could go with flipping the egge to set the top or simply lowering the heat once the bottom is golden brown
Thanks ! I’ve gotten better recently and wow does it pay off
