Of course it's crispy, you are deep-frying your eggs in oil, like McDonalds-style fries. It may feel delicious, like almost anything overcooked with high temperature, but it is not quite healthy.
- nkozyra 4y agoWell you're not "deep frying" it you're pan frying it. The difference is the amount of food exposed to oil.
- SergeAx 4y agoFor eggs it is about the same, egg's white is thin enough on a skillet and its down side is fully immersed into oil.
- watwut 4y agoThis is just not true. Not even if you have a single egg on super large pan. And you can also use smaller pan or more eggs, that way it will be even higher. Just because you have drowning eggs in oil does not mean everyone does it that way.
- nkozyra 4y agoMine take ~ 1 tsp for three eggs. I let the pan get hot enough that it slides around with water like viscosity, spread it evenly with a paper towel and throw the eggs on.
- SergeAx 4y agoComment I was replying to meant crispiness. That means frying in oil, in my experience. Do you know another way to get crispy texture on cast iron skillet?
- watwut 4y agoYou have a bit of oil under the egg.
- justusthane 4y agoI cook exclusively with cast iron pans (not because I’m some sort of purist, but because that’s what I happen to have), and you can absolutely fry an egg with just a bit of butter or oil and no crispiness.
