How long to scramble eggs

Three things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 3:00

Which style?

French style is low and slow with constant stirring. It takes about twice as long.

How many eggs?

How do you want them?

How to tell without a timer

Off the heat while they still look slightly wet. They finish in the pan.

Scrambled eggs carry on setting after they leave the heat. Pull them looking a little underdone or they arrive at the table dry.

How it goes

  1. Off-heat pauses are allowed and encouraged. Keep them moving.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
