Keep the heat relatively low when cooking eggs

If you're pressed for time while cooking eggs, your first instinct will be to rush and crank up the heat. However, this will scald and ruin your eggs. Keeping the heat low and cooking slowly will keep the moisture in the eggs from drying out. This unbreakable rule applies to all types of eggs, including scrambled, fried, and sunny-side-up.

You should never fry eggs over high heat because the white of the egg will cook because it is so thin and close to the heat. While the yolk will remain soft, the white will have an unappealing, cracker-like texture. Cook your eggs over medium heat at the highest setting and take your time. Even if it takes up to 20 minutes to prepare a simple plate of eggs, the results will be far more satisfying.
