Why is flipping eggs during frying so popular in US?

You don't have to flip them over. They're fine cooking as it is.

>>21394602 (OP)
Because people want to cook the whites and are too dumb to baste the whites with hot butter.

>>21394602 (OP)
Wanna get butt raped?

I like them better flipped
I also break the yolk and spread it out across the white before flipping

It's a different preparation that is called "over easy/medium/hard" in English. I'm not sure we have a word for it in Italian since I never saw that done until I moved to the US. We just fry it crispy in olive oil.

>Why is flipping eggs during frying so popular in US?
American diner culture. I don't know a single other country that has different levels of cooked eggs. In Germany if you want a fried egg you just get a Spiegelei, fried on one side, never flipped, and that's it. If you ask for different types of done-ness they'll look at you like you're insane.

>>21394602 (OP)
I don't like the bottom to resemble chicken skin. Over easy is also fine as it is. There are multiple ways to do things, OP. You want to overcook one side and completely disregard the other for your sunny side up, that's fine with everyone.
Most of us will continue to flip because we're able.

>>21394790
The crispy bottom is amazing, the fuck you talking about?

different people prefer different things

Over-easy is objectively the best form of the incredible, edible egg. Scrambletards and sunny-side upiggers will be the first to go one the Day of the Rope.

>sunny side up

>>21394602 (OP)
That egg looks like shit

Use water and a lid to steam it, but the bright yellow of the yolk will become cloudy.

Not for steak it isn't. But it is for egg, true.

You may not be white but I'll baste you with my hot butter

>>21394636

Disgusting, if your egg has brown bits on it or sulphur burns from over cooking lower your tone around me

>>21394831
Such as "people" who like crispy eggs

>>21394602 (OP)
because if you don't eat with bread you just smear the yellow on the plate mostly. with bread is fine cause you can soak it

It's called Over Easy and every country does it. You want eggs cooked quickly with a runny yolk, you flip the egg. Simple as.

>>21395308
>every country does it
Wrong. Consider at least getting yourself a passport, Pedro (even if you'll never use it) before you start talking about what countries you've never been to do.

>>21395308
That's right. Over and easy fried egg is the ultimate egg form. This is not a discussion, debate or argument.

>>21394602 (OP)
I dont like runny yolk.

>>21395405
If you like jammy yolk, that's fine too. But i don't understand people who like it truly hard. It's a terrible texture. Dry and chalky.

>>21394602 (OP)
I like over medium

This is true.
I mean not for me, but when I was a kid they pushed food poisoning awareness about the same amount as those D.A.R.E. commercials.

I like poached eggs.

Why is being gay during life so popular in OP's house?
You don't have to be gay. Vaginas are perfectly fine as is.

>>21395326
Correct

>>21395702
Poached eggs aren't raw.

>>21395711
Neither is OP's example.

>>21395308
You don't have to flip the eggs, just add a little water, cover and steam.
The eggs will become moist and moderately soft.
This is the same technique as adding water or milk when making an omelette.

>>21395308
>>every country does it
I can't speak for every country, but it's basically unheard of in France. An egg, if not scrambled, boiled (soft or hard), or in an omelette, will be sunny side up, period.
I tried flipping one, once, and maybe it was a lack of experience on how long to keep it flipped, but it was a significant downgrade.

>>21394602 (OP)
>Flipping eggs
I cook them in avocado oil spray to minimize excess calories and flipping them can overcook the yolks, killing nutrients (only reason to eat whole eggs, otherwise egg whites mogg for macros and volume).

>>21395759
>>21395759
Ive had over easy eggs in france a million times what are you on about? You think people don't flip fried eggs in your entire country?

>>21395728
runny yolk, which americans piss and cry over, so yes ops example is

>>21395746
>just add a little water, cover and steam
This guy eggs

>>21395798
over easy is a runny yolk you retard

>>21395746
I microwave my eggs for 45 seconds in a covered glass bowl with no oil to achieve this

>>21395828
I do that when I put eggs on noodles too, but I add a small amount of water because I am afraid they will burst.

Why are Europeans so obsessed with runny yolks that have the consistency of cum?

>>21395759
Same with literally every non-anglo country ive been to. It's just not done, like how most don't deep fry their eggs. In fact, you Google deep fried eggs in most languages and you'll mostly get pictures of boiled eggs that are deep fried after the fact but I specifically mean cracking eggs directly into hot oil. In my results, of the first twenty pictures, only two are of deep fried eggs as I just described, 13 are boiled eggs that are fried after, I've is poached for some fucking reason and the remaining four are pan fried.
I don't know why this lady is having such a difficult time understanding that different cultures do different things that she had to make up some fiction to justify what her country does. It's just another difference and that's fun!

>>21394602 (OP)
It cooks them faster.

I just put a lid over the egg for like 30 seconds as it fries. It cooks the top enough to do away with the snottiness but less than flipping it

>>21394622
I do the same
Can't stand the taste of the whites alone
I need yolk

>>21394602 (OP)
Theoretically you can cook it lighter on both sides this way

>>21395798
What Americans? Sure, a lot of dumbasses like scrambled eggs but having worked as a breakfast cook I can contend that most people get over easy. They don't think runny yolks are 'raw' and they aren't afraid of it.
Americans eat cookie dough.
Mexicans cook all beef well done, so if you want to complain about cultures being backward and scared, it's not the USA.

>>21394602 (OP)
I want a bit of crisp on both sides. Also, because you're cooking both sides and you still want to yolk to be runny you use a higher heat so it cooks much faster.
It's also just fun to practice the dexterity of it. I'll admit that sunny-side-up aesthetically mogs over-easy though and I do occasionally make it that way just because I want to make something pretty.

>>21394609
I'll baste you with my hot butter if you don't watch yourself.

>>21394602 (OP)
Americans are terrified of cooking things in real fat. They'll use any alternative goyslop for 'heart health' (actual food just in moderation is basically communism) and so the idea of just basting the top with fat is insane to them. On top of that their eggs are so low quality that even slightly runny yolks risk infection at a far higher rate than civilised nations. Basically just think of american food culture as the combination of everything being mass produced slop and terrible hygiene standards.

>>21394894
>Basting is a meme.
When frying eggs you aren't really basting it as much as applying hot fat to the top to cook it. It's for heat transfer not flavour.

Yet another thread of turdworlders seething over Americans. Every fucking day. It's pathetic really.

>>21394602 (OP)
>Why is flipping eggs during frying so popular in US?
I think NOT flipping them is due to your lack of skill and level of anxiety about it.
Cooking the raw top, even for a moment (over easy) is best, duh. Over and partially done is utterly acceptable, and still runny, to anyone avoiding the risks of foodborne illness, and the number of commercials show people on biologics is a growning percentage of the population in modern healthcare.

Along with my own $16k/year prescriptions, my intentionally weakened immune system now has zero time for a hospitalization and risk of death. I still enjoy an over easy or over hard egg. Any cheese and chive filled omelet is also well done and enjoyable. Pregnant, the elderly and according to ai, 37% of all drug cost spending is now for this one class of meds.

>>21399290
UK and Australia at least know the term to the point that UK writer Jasper Fforde wrote a mystery novel about Humpty Dumpty's murder titled The Big Over Easy. I don't know about Kiwiland but I'd be surprised if they were unaware of the term and would be unable to comply were you to ask for an egg cooked that way at brekkie.
>>21398108
It's not thirty years ago. Americans fear of fat is beginning to fade. Now, they're embracing it.

>UK and Australia at least know the term to the point that UK writer Jasper Fforde wrote a mystery novel about Humpty Dumpty's murder titled The Big Over Easy. I don't know about Kiwiland
Sure, but it's an American cultural import and not a common food order.
>but I'd be surprised if they were unaware of the term and would be unable to comply were you to ask for an egg cooked that way at brekkie.
If you're in a trendy place in a large city you might get lucky and otherwise you might need to explain it. Also fast food places being burger influenced usually do it burger style.

>>21394602 (OP)
That egg is burned. A proper egg has no browning at all and you can’t achieve that without a flip or sunny

>>21399741
No, that's wrong and disgusting. Stop parroting Wrinkles McGee. He can't even cook grilled cheese. Fuck that guy.

>>21399298

>>21394602 (OP)
One time as a kid I was about to eat my eggs and for some reason I can't remember I touch the yolk with my finger and it was fucking cold. I haven't eaten a sunny up egg since then ever again.

>>21394785

>>21399741
Skill issue.

>>21394602 (OP)
People who flip are retarded.
What is even the point of a fried egg if the egg yolk isn't runny?
Might as well make scrambled eggs or an omelette then.

If you want the top to be a little bit more solid, then put a lid on the pan for a few seconds. The steam takes care of it. Just don't overdo it, or you end up with the same issues as with flipping.

No one ever said you had to flip them over. We are all well aware that sunny side up eggs exist. We're just also aware that over easy and over medium exist, and want those.

Ceci. I've never ever seen someone flip their eggs until I saw it in an american video.

Trying it on a grate for the first time, I sprayed it and everything but it’s like not cooking very well on the top. I wish I brought a lid or something.

I tried flipping it and it didn’t work
fuck

Eggs are not normal food where you're from? Please excuse the rest of the first and third world, what fucking planet do you hail from?

>>21394602 (OP)
"Over easy" cooks the egg faster and doesn't brow it... although it's really easy to fuck up, I used to hate when people asked for over easy eggs.
In reality you can just toss some water into a a pan and put a lid on it and it'll cook just the same way but you can see the yolk.

>>21394602 (OP)
If the edges are crispy you've cooked it too long. Also sunny side up is still popular here with many men who enjoy things inside their anus.

They just like to show off while cooking, it's part of their culture. My american chef also always tosses pancakes in the air to flip, it's for comedy and performance

Today I found that if you just drop an egg in the pan it cracks perfect every single time and the yolk never breaks. What the fuck is this shit.

Anon that's called sunny side up, it's a common method available in pretty much any place that serves eggs, along with over easy, like the other anon you responded to described. I don't know why you're trying to insist on a right and wrong method to cook a fucking egg.

Stupid is as stupid dies.

I supposed next you're try boiling water by pouring it directly onto a pit fire.

i eat 7-12 eggs a day with cooked whites and raw yolk. i break all the eggs into a bowl. using a spoon i separate the yolk into another bowl. then i fry the whites alone until throughly cooked. Then I dump the cooked whites into the bowl of raw yolks.

>>21404527
You don't need to use nearly as much butter as he's using there.
I actually melt/heat some butter in a separate single egg pan then pour it from that pan over the eggs - you need to use much less butter when you do it this way because you don't need so much butter than it's easy to scoop with a spoon.

I did breakfast service for the Hilton and my job was mostly just knowing how to cook egg.

Asians used a shit load of oil and tried to ladle got oil over the top, americans only knew "sunny side up" but didn't know how to set the top of the egg with a pan lid, which meant their eggs were always cold and undercooked. The *ustralians often flipped the egg and cooked it through

Virtually nobody could poach eggs, or understood that the egg water was contaminated by salmonella and had to be change. there is no need to acidulate the water, the issue is the age of your eggs. which you should know.

And this is a whites meme but so many guys couldn't make an omlette, they just scrambled eggs without break them and served a tranche of puffy egg.

And I can cook japanese as well for whatever it is, onagiri? the sweet asian egg. eggs as you like it in the Hitlon means just that.

By no means am I a good cook, or a qualified chef. my job was eggs, I was a line cook, I was paid eight times the local salary for a 4 hour shift cooking eggs. Also made bagels, the demi-glaze, the flambe' candied oranges for the barman, and the boconcini. So I made a shit load of money doing very little work

>>21394602 (OP)
thats because am*ricans are fucking subhuman retards, dont @ me

This morning I discover if you toast a hot dog bun in the buttered pan of your fried eggs. It’s perfect for mopping up the yolk. It has a sweetness to it that goes really well with the yolk, salt and pepper.

>>21394602 (OP)
I enjoy the extra crisp

The best way is to baste them in bacon grease. The heat of the grease cooks the egg.

I dont think I've ever enjoyed eating egg
I use them regularly for nutrients or as thickener or something, but they dont taste good. The yolk is more noticeable as a thing that sticks to your palate than for its taste and cooked whites are like biting through gelatinous water.

French omelette tastes like licking butter.
People adding egg on a hamburger with a beef patty already are literally insane.
