Vent: Rubber scrambled eggs bothered me for months.

Lowering the heat and stirring constantly fixed them.

A low flame on my gas stove changed everything for my eggs. In my experience, high heat makes them tough and rubbery real quick. Lowering the heat lets them cook slow and stay soft. Stirring all the time stops big curds from forming, so you get that nice, small texture. Your mileage may vary, but this method works on most stoves I've tried. I used to rush it and got bad eggs every single morning.

My friend always complained about his rubbery scrambled eggs until he saw a chef demo low heat cooking. He used to crank the stove to max, ending up with tough curds that stuck to the pan. Switching to a gentle flame made his eggs soft and fluffy almost overnight. He even bought a new non-stick skillet just to test it out, and the difference was huge. It's crazy how a small tweak can turn a breakfast fail into a win. Do you add anything like cheese or herbs when you cook them slow?

Wait, is the secret to good eggs just having the patience of a saint? My friend used to blast them on high and they'd come out like yellow hockey pucks. Now he's doing this low and slow thing like it's a science project. I just crack mine into a hot pan and hope for the best. Sometimes I throw in some shredded cheddar if I'm feeling fancy, but mostly I'm just trying not to burn them before my coffee kicks in.

I always use high heat for my scrambled eggs. A really hot pan with lots of butter makes them super fluffy and fast. You have to stir like crazy to stop them from sticking, but it's worth it. That way I get tender curds that are full of flavor, not soggy like slow-cooked ones. High heat is the REAL secret for perfect eggs in my book.
