I finally figured out the cold pan trick for scrambled eggs after 40 years of cooking

I've been cooking scrambled eggs since I was a kid, and they always came out dry or stuck to the pan. Last month I saw a video where this chef said to put butter in a cold non-stick pan, crack the eggs in, then turn on the heat. I thought that was crazy because my mom always heated the pan first. But I tried it last Tuesday morning, and man, the eggs came out so soft and creamy, no sticking at all. It took like 8 minutes on low heat, stirring slow, and they were perfect. I burned a whole batch of toast that day because I was too focused on the eggs, but that's the Brigade life for you. Has anyone else had success with weird cooking tricks that seem backwards?

Tbh, eight minutes is way too long for eggs. High heat and fast stirring give you that fluffy texture, low heat just turns them into a weird paste. Ngl, your mom was right about heating the pan first, that's how you get that nice golden crust without wasting your morning.

Nah, low and slow is the way for soft scrambled eggs, fast heat just makes em rubbery.
