So, what's the magic number when it comes to cooking eggs? Well, it depends on the method, of course! For scrambled eggs, you'll want to use a medium-low heat, around 2-3 on a scale of 1-10, to prevent those pesky scrambled bits from becoming too dry.
For over-easy eggs, it's all about the sizzle - you'll want to crank up the heat to around 5-6, so the egg cooks quickly and the yolk stays nice and runny. And, let's not forget about poached eggs, which require a more gentle heat, around 3-4, to create that silky smooth texture.
But, here's a fun fact: did you know that the heat you use can actually affect the nutrition of the egg? It's true - cooking eggs at high temperatures can cause a loss of vitamins and minerals, so it's all about finding that perfect balance.
