"doing so successfully takes more knowledge and technique than most home cooks are willing to fuss with. You may well still end up with eggs stuck to the pan and a messy situation to clean afterwards. Instead, use a non-stick skillet. It's the ideal pan to use for scrambling eggs, as its slick surface allows the eggs to cook gently without the risk of them getting stuck or clinging to the pan."
"Butter is a delicious choice, as long as you keep the heat on or below a medium flame, as you don't want the butter to burn. But neutral oils like avocado, canola, or even olive oil are also great option. The combination of a proper non-stick pan along with enough fat lets the eggs glide over the surface as they cook."
Eggs are simple, nutritious foods that still require proper technique to cook well. Using the wrong pan is a common cause of ruined scrambled eggs. Stainless steel or carbon steel can work but demand skill to prevent sticking. A non-stick skillet provides a slick surface that helps eggs cook gently without adhering. Adding enough fat—butter or neutral oils like avocado, canola, or olive—improves slipperiness and flavor; keep butter at medium or lower heat to avoid burning. Use utensils that won’t scratch the non-stick surface, such as silicone or wooden spatulas, to avoid damage and contamination.
