380 F is way too hot for cooking eggs. I have a Control Freak induction cooktop that directly measures the temperature of the pan, and 380 F is closer to searing than it is to cooking eggs. They would burn almost immediately.
- asguy 6y agoRead the WikiPedia article I linked, or watch the MythBuster's video I posted below... the water in the eggs turns instantly to steam and causes them to be buffered from the pan. It's not magic; I use this technique when making omelettes and scrambling, but not when I'm frying eggs.

- NikolaeVarius 6y agoThe existence of the effect does not mean that you're using it as a technique. I googled this and this thread comes up on the first page, and the results do not show this effect being used for cooking, only for verifying temperature. Why would you even want to do this even if it worked the way you claim? If this worked the way you did, you would be steaming the eggs. If you wanted to control temperature, you could just...lower the temperature to the proper level.
