Benefits and harms

First of all, the benefit or harm of scrambled eggs depends on the freshness of the egg. In order to preserve the freshness of eggs longer, you need to keep them in the coolest place of the refrigerator in trays. The place in the door will not work - it is the warmest.

Place eggs in storage trays with the pointed end down. A large number of pores are located at the blunt end, through which the eggs “breathe”, thereby remaining fresh longer.

Eggs are considered the main source of salmonellosis. Therefore, it is better not to eat them raw or undercooked.

Not everyone can enjoy an omelette. This dish is contraindicated for allergy sufferers, people with liver diseases and children under 1.5-2 years old (the exception is the yolk - it can be used from 7-8 months). People with high cholesterol levels should avoid eating yolk.

Previously, it was believed that a large amount of cholesterol in eggs had a detrimental effect on the body. But the results of scientific research have proven that lecithin, which is also included in eggs, prevents the deposition of cholesterol in the cavities of blood vessels.

What else is useful about fried eggs is that they are almost completely digestible (98%). The nutritional value of the composition is equal to 250 ml of milk and 60 g of meat. Eggs are especially important in the diet of children. They rank second in importance after milk.

Pan!

Yes, you need to start a conversation about fried eggs and omelettes not even ab ovo (from the egg), but ab coctorio - from the frying pan. Because if you have the right omelet pan (aka scrambled eggs), then everything is much simpler. If you don't already have one and want perfect omelettes, don't try to adapt the one you have. Buy a new one. It should have a non-stick coating. Diameter – 22–24 cm. The sides are low. There is no transition edge from the bottom to the side at all - this place is rounded. The side itself is located at an obtuse angle to the bottom (although there is no angle there, everything is smooth there) - that is, from such a side an omelette or scrambled eggs will easily and unhindered slide onto the plate. And don't use this pan for anything else!
