Nope. It isn't rocket science.

Still, soft scrambled eggs are neither runny nor fluffy.
They are dense..and creamy curds.
There is a "right" mouth feel to them.... they are removed just before they set...there are no runny juices...a soft firm.
if they are "fluffy" they are not soft scrambled eggs.
Fluffy eggs are the opposite of hard scrambled eggs...which are tough, rubbery. Fluffy eggs have been turned, lifted rather than pushed and barely folded. Much more like an omelet. Or rather, the outside edges of an omelet.

Seriously, it ISN'T rocket science.... but they are not scrambled eggs, nor hard, or fluffy or runny scrambled eggs.

Soft scrambled eggs done right are heaven on earth.

And they take time, low heat and butter.

And once you have tasted them done right, you will make sure you know how to cook them right.

Not saying, at all, that people shouldn't eat scrambled eggs the way they want to, the way they like them. After all, that is what we all do. Eat things to our liking.

It's probably better explained by describing soft boiled eggs... runny, soft yolks and yet a soft solid firm, but not hard, rubbery white.

Anyway.. I love them....and anytime I cook them for someone who has never had them before? They are instant converts.

I just found out that I can get fresh eggs from a neighbor...I can not wait to make these! In fact, I will make a point of making either soft boiled eggs, soft scrambled eggs or hard boiled eggs enough to become a regular customer ......3 bucks a dozen!

I've tasted them done "right," and for me, "right" is runny.

One local restaurant did a very lovely soft scrambles eggs serves with a mini salad of micro greens. And corn. It was amazing. Then the closed/reformulated/whatever. Now they are about to open the third iteration. On the up note, it'll be really cheap!

I don't like mine runny, but wet, if that makes any sense.

Actually, it makes a lot of sense, because I'll gladly eat them that way also. Most folks would prefer your "wet" version over my runny version.

Sometimes water or milk is added to scrambled eggs to make them extra light and fluffy, but it could also be just eggs undercooked a bit.

1. "Fluffy" scrambled eggs...term is open to interpretation...my idea of fluffy may not be your idea of fluffy.

2. You must have eggs confused with dairy (you know, milk products?), because eggs do NOT have curds, ever. Dairy has curds...cheese curds, curds & whey.


Again, not rocket science. No one is wrong or right.

Exactly: that is how they did them on the show: Ann used water. My dad used to use milk, which is fine but he used way to much. I did it just like Ann but I did use milk. The secret seems to be, beat them to death before cooking them, cook them slowly with butter.
