Eggs over easy

I found a neat trick and it works perfectly for eggs over easy without ever having to flip the eggs.
Have two pans, one a little bigger than the other. Use the smaller one to cook your eggs in. Take the bigger skillet and put it over a high heat. Get it really hot. Now, crack your eggs into the smaller skillet and get them cooking. Place the piping hot pan ON TOP of the smaller skillet with the eggs in it. This way your eggs are cooking from the bottom and the top. The heat on the bottom of the skillet that you placed on top cooks the whites through but wont cook the yolk. You may need to play around with this method, sometimes I let the eggs cook a bit before adding the hot skillet on top, if you add it too soon you risk overcooking the yolk. But it really does work and you don't have to flip those damn eggs. Plus the hot skillet is not actually dirty so once it cools off you just put it back in the cabinet.

Guessing when meat is done. All of my thermometers suck for one reason or another, and I hate trying to guess when chicken or something is done. Also hate cutting into it to check.
Get a thermapen.

The key is to cook your eggs over very low heat, with a tad of canola oil (butter or bacon grease, if you prefer) in a non-stick pan.

Burgers
Fried eggs
Omelets
I don't get all the jamb comments. I consider myself mediocre at BEST and never make a below average jamb. Seems idiot proof.

Too bad we can't do cross training. My jamb needs help!

I'm sure you've seen it, but if you follow the Poche' thread, it will rock. I have since started doing a few things differently, but it's foolproof.

Great advice. I got away from that, so likely my problem is going off on my own too soon.

RE: egg poaching, this is one job made better by a gadget. silicone egg poaching cups. boil some water in a pot, oil a silicone egg cup, put egg cup in boiling water for a bit, then slip in an egg. No more ugly/watery eggs. silicone egg cups
what's this voodoo?
I'm gonna need a video of this action. I'm convinced people that can poach eggs well have sold their souls.

A set of two costs less than $10. I didn't know souls came so cheap.

My grandmother's caramel cake recipe. The caramel comes out hard like pralines instead of the nice soft caramel that stays that way for days.
I use a candy thermometer and everything and all she had to do was look at it. If I ever became half the cook she was I'd be extremely excited about it.

I use a metal ring made for making english muffins for fried/over easy eggs. Put in butter or bacon grease and swirl it around the inside, when the grease starts to pop, drip an egg in, then turn it down to low and flip when you see the edge is white. Looks like an egg Mcmuffin egg, though.

Pancakes... I always seem to flip them too early or too late.
