Right amount of salt for fried eggs?
Right amount of salt for fried eggs?
I'm always messing it up either too much or too little for 2-4 eggs. How do I become more consistent?
A single three-finger pinch of diamond brand kosher is my go-to. In general, using kosher salt is much easier, as you can physically feel how much salt you are applying.
I'll keep this in mind thank you! Sometimes I use a pink salt grinder which makes it harder to tell how much is going in.
Grind a teaspoon or two into a small bowl/container and you can pinch from that. Maybe the grinder is inconsistent.
Do you mean when cooking them or eating them? When cooking them, I put enough Lawry's Seasoned Salt to be visible, but not so much that the egg whites are all orange
Honestly, it's probably a matter of practice, try turning out several batches with varying amounts and see how you like them.
One of the few things I use a salt shaker for is my eggs. I know that for my shaker, three shakes per egg is perfect.
I dont add any salt. I simply fry them in bacon grease, that provides plenty of flavor.
Taste it then add more if they aren't salty enough. Better to start out with too little salt than too much
Depends on your taste. I usually just do a literal pinch between my thumb and index finger per egg. Some people like more. Others prefer less.
For salting french fries and similar foods, I use a salt shaker filled with regular table salt. When I need to see more clearly how much salt I added (including for eggs) I use a salt shaker filled with kosher salt. The larger kosher salt grains make it much easier for me to see how much I added. I hope that this is helpful.
seriously i think it boils down to just keep practicing. for me i learned seasoning by using kosher salt - after a while i think you build muscle memory on how much you use. only advice i can offer in addition to ask the great ideas here is to keep cooking 😊
Just a tiny pinch of kosher salt and a single crack of black pepper for me. Easier to over season than under season with eggs.
Is this serious? Err on the side of caution, you can always add salt later, but you can't unsalt a dish.
