Cooking Eggs on Ceramic Cookware
I always thought that my cast iron skillet would be it. I never would’ve thought that my love for it will fade away, or that I would turn to ceramics. I used to love the crust, the chair, and the quick pop in a hot oven for roasts and frittatas, not to speak of the deliciousness of the food when cooking in cast iron. But as I looked more from the health perspective and as I did days of research, my life has changed. I mean literally, since I’ve met Mr. Ceramic Knife.
I always read about how excellent ceramic pans and pots were and how easy they were to clean and maintain, but never read anything about ceramic cutlery. I discovered a company that sells these online (if you want to check their site, it’s http://www.wilsoncutlery.com/) and ordered one of the offered sets. They said that the ceramic cutlery was safe, non-toxic and lead-free. Which is true actually, so one thing leads to another and we ended up buying multiple ceramic pans, pots and other utensils, not just knives.

The first thing that I cooked with my first ceramic pan was scrambled eggs. I was shocked and surprised by the result: the eggs were fluffy, moist, without even using any oil or butter. And they didn’t even stick on the pan’s surface! Not to mention the taste – delicious! Since those eggs, I’ve made many dishes which turned out great, but today I want to share my tips for cooking eggs – for all our readers and new members of the ceramic cookware family.
With ceramic cookware, frying eggs and preparing scrambled eggs is almost effortless. If you use a gas or electric stove, heat your pan for 1 minute at medium temperature before adding the eggs, and if you’re cooking on a glass stove top, preheat the pan for 3-4 minutes on a low temperature. When your ceramic pan is heated, you can add a little bit of oil or butter. This is only for taste (ceramic pans have non-stick surfaces, therefore, don’t need grease).

When your ceramic pan is heated, you can add a little bit of oil or butter. This is only for taste (ceramic pans have non-stick surfaces, therefore, don’t need grease).
When you add the oil or the butter, immediately set the temperature lower and add your eggs. For scrambled eggs – place the eggs in the heated pan and let their bottom cook almost all the way through and when they are almost cooked, scramble them for about 1 minute and that’s it! Serve and enjoy. If you want to make over-easy eggs, do the same thing at first – allow the bottom to cook, flip them and turn off the heat. Ceramic pans have the ability to retain heat, remember? This is why you should also be aware that if you put too much butter on your pan, it can burn easily. However, if you can’t eat your eggs without tasting the butter, ensure that you cook them at a much lower temperature than the usual.
