    Lot of work for scrambled eggs. This recipe might make for some excellent
    scrambled eggs, but I don’t think the I don’t want to take the time and
    effort for something like this. Scrambled eggs are scrambled eggs and I’ll
    just rely on my own simple recipe.

    Love Heston and alll…but this looks like it’s more butter, cream, and
    more butter, than actual scrambled egg!

    Probably tastes delicious though :-)

    im good to go with scrambled eggs well done with catsup and dry white
    toast. if you want to get fancy just add spam.

  4. bozoxxx79125

    is that butter he melted in the small pot also called clarified butter??

  5. Rich S

    All I can think about is how much of a pain it’s going to be to clean that
    small pan

    I actually found gordon ramsays methods much easier. Crack your eggs
    directly into the pan, stir like a risotto til creamy. Take it on and off
    the heat as the pan will retain heat. Don’t use salt until cooked as it
    will break up the eggs. It takes half the time and you don’t need to use a
    glass bowl

    This is French Style for lunch. French don’t usually eat eggs for
    breakfast.

  8. Vasili Atmanchokov

    If you don’t add the salt first, you can cook the eggs further without
    getting them over-cooked and rubbery. The creamy egg can be NOT runny which
    some find not to their liking. Adding salt immediately starts breaking the
    egg and extracting water, so you add it at the last stage; before the last
    one or two stir. It makes a difference between runny and soft, or slime
    like and watery/ juicy.

    0:17 cracks egg on the edge of the bowl, 0:26 immediately advises you not
    to.

    I am not an egg eater by any stretch of the imagination, but I wonder if
    this is too runny for most people’s tastes. I’m sure all that butter and
    cream make it taste nice, but seems excessive too. Plus, eggs are supposed
    to be good for you. All that fat cancels out any of the nutritional value
    in eggs.

  11. SaintSatansSoul

    Why do these “professional” chefs always cook food underdone or border-line
    raw, cavemen days are over.

  12. Vippe101

    those eggs look awfully yellow for being free-range imo

  13. ProPaleo

    Are those eggs REALLY free range?? Those yolks look pretty pail for being
    actually free range. I believe the term free range is a played out term
    utilized for marketing benefit and because there is no regulation on the
    term unlike the term “organic” anyone can use it legally.

    AFTER the first egg…crack all the others on a flat surface

  15. GorgeousRoddyChrome

    I’m surprised he doesn’t want me to start by gently warming the eggs in the
    shell with a hair blowdryer on low before cracking them open so the
    temperature rises ever-so-delicately. *It’s a frickin EGG, you freak!!* Just
    cook it! LOL!

  16. dylan hopkins

    Lol! he cracks the eggs on the side of the bowl and then says not to.

  17. 8triagrammer

    Has anyone tried this exactly? How did it taste?

  18. David Simpson

    Nigella or Salmonella? The eggs looked raw.
