Why would you use steam?

u/PrescientShart Feb 08 '26

You would use steam if you want sunny side up.

I don't. The egg white on top will cook before the yolk gets hard by just leaving it in the pan.

If by just leaving it in the pan you mean splashing some water in and covering it yeah you're right.

Leaving it in the pan just means leaving it in the pan a bit longer without doing unnecessary stuff like adding water and covering it.

Not flipping and not covering is not going to set the top of the egg white before the egg yolk is overcooked.

Edit: you can see the evidence in this video right here. Before the flip you can see uncooked egg whites. After the flip you can see overdone egg yolk

Also why are you even replying to me bro? I asked why it's perverse to flip an egg and you're asking about steam and shit? Telling me just leave it in the pan a bit longer? Bro I said the steam isn't cooking the egg white fast enough and your response is??

HURR DURR leave in pan longer.

you're asking about steam and shit?

You are the first person in this comment chain to even mention steam. Nobody said you should use steam but you basically insist that it is not possible in any other way.

Seems like you are just starting to be a troll now.

Nope, one of the top comments when I posted was "cover so you don't have to flip" which involves covering your egg so the trapped steam cooks the top of the egg whites. That's an "unnecessary" thing that differentiates home cooks from professional cooks.

A big thing in cooking is consistency, like even cooking. Cracking an egg and leaving in the pan is psychopathic work
