Bacon Grease is the only way, anything else is a big nope from me
|

Quoted: Maybe heresy for the fat-fetish junkies but I microwave scrambled eggs in a glass bowl. No grease, no alien flavors, season to taste. And more "heresy": bacon sucks. Mostly just fat cooked to crispness with very little actual meat. I'll take a slice of ham/Canadian bacon or sausage over bacon to go with my eggs. View Quote Fuckin thorazine. |

He doesn't need help if they're poached in salsa to make Huevos Rancheros. Then they're amazing. |

I prefer butter or olive oil. Bacon grease tastes better but is not as good for over-easy.

Quoted: Lol, the rapeseed used to make canola oil is genetically modified to almost eliminate eurcic acid and the rest is eliminated when it’s extracted and refined. Cold pressed canola retains most of the nutrients and none of the toxins. View Quote I will disagree. Look up coronary case frequency since rapeseed and soy oils became prevalent. They are evil. |
|
If I couldn't use butter for some reason or another, I'd go with grapeseed oil for its higher smoke temp.
|

You don't cook eggs on high heat. You guys talking about smoke points must cook shitty eggs.
|

Duck fat is the actual way. But, convincing people is the hard part, until they try it.

Quoted: Have to go with this. Fried is easier, though. Especially if you're doing bacon and taters, as well! View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Poached is far superior to fried Have to go with this. Fried is easier, though. Especially if you're doing bacon and taters, as well! Poached is simple in an air-fryer. 6 minutes at 380, in a small ramkin, with a couple of tablespoons of water. Could nto be any easier. |

View Quote So what you’re telling me is that I can eat a naturally produced fat that we scrape off the top of some milk and put in the fridge so that it keeps longer oooooorrrrrr I can have “cold pressed goodness” that came out of billions of little balls of rape, that a caveman never would have had access to in any quantity, let alone enough to consume a couple gallons of it annually and That had to be fucked with by a man-god in a white coat, before it became fit to eat? We have been consuming animals for 100s of thousands of years and animal products like butter for 10s of thousands. Gmo rape from the 60s is not a good idea |

Quoted: Duck fat is the actual way. But, convincing people is the hard part, until they try it. View Quote You're not wrong about that. I cook duck once or twice a year and keep the fat for eggs. It's awesome. Bacon grease is next. Then butter or ghee last is olive oil, which is still good but inferior to the rest. Smoke point doesn't enter into it for eggs unless you're retarded. |

That said, heart disease is still the number one killer in the US with nearly 600,000 deaths per year. |

Quoted: Much healthier than butter and taste great. View Quote Eat healthy, the mantra of every lemming woman. |

My wife (bless her heart) baked me a red velvet cake for my birthday using olive oil one time. We were out of vegetable oil, which the recipe called for and she thought you could substitute olive oil for vegetable oil. It was more than a little "games" tasting. Her cooking has improved somewhat.

You should not be cooking eggs at a temperature high enough to smoke olive oil in a skillet, FFS... or butter, for that matter.

Cook with lard. No one cares what you read in an article the other month.

Quoted: You should not be cooking eggs at a temperature high enough to smoke olive oil in a skillet, FFS... or butter, for that matter. View Quote This and all the other posters that said the same. You shouldn't be anywhere near the burning/smoke point of butter to fry eggs...no wonder most of the time I have eggs at other people's houses they're disgusting. Most people overcook the ever living fuck out of eggs. Especially scrambled eggs. If your scrambled eggs have brown on them, they were over cooked several minutes before you took them out of the pan. Eggs keep cooking after they come out of the pan...so you need to remove them before they're 'done' to get the correct 'doneness' on the plate. |

Quoted: Olives and eggs have a similar ovoid shape, cooking them together distorts the feng shui of the dish as well as cataclysmically redirecting life-affirming chi. Nothing good can come of it. As pigs and cows do not have an ovoid vernacular, they can symbiotically coexist with the egg, rendering it good. View Quote Wow Skunkeye, I didn’t realize this level of sophistication was allowed in GD…. |

I use olive oil, heated to 375 degrees (below the smoke point) on a stainless pan for omelette style scrambled eggs.
IMO, if there is any brown at all on the eggs, the are burned. I also flip them like a pancake by a flick of the wrist on the handle of the pan. Tier 1 eggs. Egg master race. Eggs. It's what's for breakfast. |

My yolks broke when they went in the pan this morning.....the day is lost.

Why would an oil’s smoke point be a factor? Eggs are cooked at low-ish temps… hell, the fluffiest scrambled eggs are made over a double boiler….

Duck fat makes the best fries I've ever eaten, usually at steakhouses. Michael Jordan's comes to mind. Their sides are as good as their steaks.

Quoted: I always cook 3 eggs, in case one breaks. I still eat the 3rd whether it breaks or not. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: My yolks broke when they went in the pan this morning.....the day is lost. They both broke. Good thing I had some green chili's and cheese to pull it all together! |

No, OP. If I ran out of bacon grease, I'll throw a dab of butter down.

Quoted: Quoted: Avocado oil (avocado everything) is deadly to birds. (pet birds in your house, not outdoor wild birds) But apparently there is great deal of counterfeit avocado oil out there. It is not regulated. |
|
Quoted: Saturated vs unsaturated fats. Butter, on average, contains three time the saturated fat of olive oil. View Quote Basically. The other way to look at it is that they're both basically 100% fat. One is solid at room temp, the other is liquid. I'd rather have the liquid inside me, but butter tastes better. |
