A non-stick pan ensures that eggs slide easily without sticking. This reduces the risk of breaking the yolk when flipping. Preheat the pan and add a small amount of butter or oil for best results.
Avoid using excessive force when cracking eggs. Gently tap the shell on a flat surface and use your fingers to open it. This helps keep the yolk intact and reduces the chances of it breaking during cooking.
Cooking eggs on low heat allows them to cook evenly without causing the yolk to become too firm. High heat can make the egg whites cook too quickly, leading to a higher chance of the yolk breaking when flipped.
A spatula with a wide surface provides better support for the egg when flipping. Slide the spatula carefully under the egg to ensure that it lifts evenly and reduces the risk of breaking the yolk.
Allow the egg to cook and set a bit before attempting to flip it. This gives the whites a chance to firm up and provides better support for the yolk, making flipping easier and reducing breakage.
Tilting the pan slightly while flipping can help guide the egg in the right direction. This technique allows the egg to slide more smoothly and minimizes the risk of breaking the yolk.
If you’re having trouble, practice flipping with a few eggs to get the hang of it. Gentle, confident movements are key to flipping eggs without breaking the yolk. Practicing will help you develop a steady hand and timing.
