Spent 3 years drowning my scrambled eggs in milk until a diner cook in Tulsa set me straight
I always poured a big splash of milk into the eggs before scrambling because that's how my mom did it, and they came out rubbery and gray every single time. Last month at a little diner in Tulsa, the cook leaned over the counter and asked why I was ruining good eggs with milk, then showed me that a pat of butter in a cold pan and low heat gets them soft without any liquid at all. Has anyone else had a food habit they defended for years until someone called it out?
My buddy swore by adding a splash of milk too, until his roommate watched him do it and just quietly said "that's why they're wet." Took him like two more years to actually stop, stubborn guy.
