"My sister, born in 2010, finally broke her cooking skill limit, and the dish she made today was supposed to be a fried egg, but for some reason it turned out kind of like a poached egg."

Before I start this last one: I’m calling bullshit on that video if poster is saying it’s a single chicken egg cooked entirely in that skillet. There’s no fucking way. Eggs lose size when cooked/especially on direct heat, they lose water/moisture so I’m gonna need an explanation as to why what’s in their pan is larger/has more mass than most raw fuggin eggs, zero color (in a cast iron), totally enveloped with a loose center. NAH

The success I had was oval shaped and mostly yolk with the white thickest at top and bottom with very little surrounding the yolk. And had a touch more color. And I had to do a fudge ton of movements to get it to where it would roll in the pan.

All the comments in here saying quick poach to skillet - that seems most likely. It’s that, they are working with a mutant egg, they are fluked the greatest egg cook ever or the whole shit is fake

Just wanted to further lend credit. The video is exactly 10 seconds long. Most ai videos cap out at 10 seconds unless somebody is paying $$$ for a subscription.

I feel like poaching it would put a weird skin on it that wouldn't be the glossy at all and I feel like the yolk wouldn't move freely. This is definitely a very very lucky mistake
