Title: Eggs Sticking
Post by: Canadian John on December 01, 2017, 02:51:00 PM
 Not exactly pellet cooking but..Frying an egg on cast iron or steel (I. E. Blackstone) can at times be trying in that the egg glues itself to the cookware = sticks.. What works and is reputed to be just like Teflon is: Heat the pan or griddle, apply a light coating of

olive oil, just enough so the surface isn't dry. If you fell there is too much it can wiped out. Add a dab of butter ,enough to cover the area the egg(s) will be placed. Don't skimp on the butter. Place the egg(s) onto the buttery surface.. They should immediately be

able to be slide around....That is slick in more ways than one!

I use my cast iron for eggs (and also use butter mostly).  I never have issues with any types of oil.  My only problem is if my wife cooks an acidic sauce in the pan without telling me and it ruins the seasoning.  It is easily remedied though with a couple rounds of seasoning and it cooks non stick again.

Get a different pan for your wife, or alternatively, a different wife for your pans.

 My pans are all very well seasoned except one that is marginal.. With the Blackstone craze I thought this tidbit would be of some help as the Blackstones come unseasoned.
