How To Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs - 3 ways | Jamie Oliver

  • 0:03 - 0:06
    What's up FoodTubers! Mister Oliver here!
  • 0:06 - 0:10
    Today we are cooking scrambled eggs,
    in three different ways.
  • 0:10 - 0:15
    The English, the French and the American way.
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    Scrambled eggs, so delicious!
  • 0:20 - 0:27
    The egg is the most delicious
    and cheap form of protein.
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    They have loads of micro nutrients.
  • 0:30 - 0:32
    They are quick to cook.
  • 0:32 - 0:34
    English scrambled eggs.
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    We go onto a medium heat.
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    I am using two eggs per person.
  • 0:41 - 0:44
    I make this for two.
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    Whiks up those eggs.
  • 0:49 - 0:55
    One request: I hate battery eggs.
    Minimum for me are barn eggs.
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    Or better: free range eggs.
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    Let's do it.
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    Start with a knob of butter.
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    With a little salt.
  • 1:05 - 1:06
    In we go.
  • 1:07 - 1:12
    To move the eggs around I use a spatula,
    like this.
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    I am going to move it around.
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    Very quickly it is setting.
  • 1:18 - 1:22
    You can see those little cooked curds
    and the raw egg.
  • 1:22 - 1:23
    I leave it.
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    Every five seconds, I'll give it a
    little move around.
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    Some people put milk in,
    some people put cream in.
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    If you cook it right, you don't need that.
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    This is cooked.
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    The pan is still warm.
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    And it is continuing to cook.
  • 1:39 - 1:44
    I put it to one corner of the pan.
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    So it is not going to overcook.
  • 1:47 - 1:48
    I get my toast.
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    You can put butter on your toast.
  • 1:50 - 1:54
    But we have a nice knob of butter already on the scrambled eggs.
  • 1:54 - 2:00
    On we go with our English style scrambled eggs.
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    You can see it's medium curds.
  • 2:07 - 2:08
    Beautiful!
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    It is still soft in texture.
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    English eggs done.
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    Soft, gorgeous, delicate.
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    Next, French style.
  • 2:17 - 2:24
    Bonjour, je m'appelle Jamie. J'aime le oeuf.
    Oeuf? Ouf? Ouve?
  • 2:24 - 2:25
    Anyway, French style eggs.
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    You season four free-range eggs.
  • 2:29 - 2:30
    Whip it up.
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    We have got an inch of boiling water.
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    We are cooking it au bain-marie,
    a water bath.
  • 2:37 - 2:41
    Eggs cook at a very low temperature.
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    It takes a while.
  • 3:06 - 3:12
    Okay, curds beginning to form, here and here.
  • 3:13 - 3:17
    Now it is time to put a few knobs of butter in.
  • 3:17 - 3:21
    I am going from a whisk.
    I am going to use a spatula.
  • 3:21 - 3:25
    You start to see a more delicate curd.
  • 3:26 - 3:27
    We're in a good place.
  • 3:28 - 3:29
    On we go.
  • 3:31 - 3:33
    Very different to the English.
  • 3:33 - 3:35
    When you eat it...
  • 3:36 - 3:39
    It is very fine.
  • 3:41 - 3:44
    French style eggs. They are delicious.
  • 3:45 - 3:50
    Finally, FoodTubers, the American style eggs.
  • 3:53 - 3:55
    We start off the same.
  • 3:55 - 3:59
    Put a little salt into our four eggs.
  • 3:59 - 4:00
    We are using a frying pan.
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    A knob of butter.
  • 4:03 - 4:04
    Let it bubbling away.
  • 4:04 - 4:06
    In with the eggs.
  • 4:07 - 4:08
    It starts to set.
  • 4:09 - 4:13
    As it sets, I'm bringing in these sheets.
  • 4:13 - 4:20
    You get this folded gorgeous eggs.
  • 4:20 - 4:22
    See these beautiful sheet.
  • 4:22 - 4:27
    Just as the French and the English:
    it must cook gently.
  • 4:32 - 4:36
    There is something delicate about this.
  • 4:36 - 4:39
    You can see the shiny parts where it's just cooking.
  • 4:39 - 4:42
    And the cooked parts.
  • 4:42 - 4:43
    Look at that.
  • 4:44 - 4:48
    Scrambled, American style eggs.
    So tasty.
  • 4:48 - 4:51
    The French, English and American all have the same.
  • 4:51 - 4:54
    Eggs, pinch of salt and butter.
  • 4:54 - 5:00
    But the method to cook has changed the texture and the taste.
  • 5:00 - 5:04
    The English, the French and the American,
    are just the tip of the iceberg.
  • 5:04 - 5:06
    There are hundreds of countries.
  • 5:06 - 5:07
    How do you cook your eggs?
  • 5:07 - 5:09
    Let us know.
  • 5:09 - 5:13
    That's what Food Tube is about.
    Bye!
