Chefs Agree that these Are the Best Cooking Sprays for Eggs 1

There are some cooks who don’t like when people have the tendency of reaching out for olive oil with no regard to what they’re preparing. However, there are certain oils which are best suited for some foods than others. For instance; peanut oil makes the best stir-fry while butter is perfectly suited for pancakes. On the other hand, eggs have certain oils that suit them as well. When you want to fry eggs, oils that have a relatively high smoke point (this means oils which become hot pretty fast) without burning will do the job perfectly, without ruining the natural flavor found in eggs.

Best Cooking Spray for Eggs

Which oil is best suited for frying eggs? This mainly depends on one’s preference. Below is information on different oil that will help you decide the kind of oil you would like to prepare your eggs with.

Olive Oil

Most cooks prefer frying their eggs using olive oil. The oil is quite flavorful and still be able to remain fairly neutral and perform perfectly when in higher heat – this means that if you’re intention is to make your fried eggs with crispy edges – then olive oil will be the perfect choice.

Olive Oil

When cooking, use a generous amount of oil, let your pan become very, very hot and then break the egg on it (it ought to scream once it gets to the pan). Make sure that the white becomes crispy and brown on the edges and a little bubbly on the surface.

Butter

If olive oil is your everyday go-to cooking oil and you’d like a hard and fast alternative, consider using butter as your low and slow yet dreamy weekend oil for frying your eggs. Butter doesn’t do well in high heat like olive oil since the dairy solids found in it will burn.

However, in brown butter the dairy solids can be toasted and not burn making it great for frying eggs. So, you’ll have to do without the crispy edges and be rewarded with lots and lots of butter. Since you’ll still be frying, ensure that the pan is hot using steady, medium-low heat before placing the butter on it, then once it is melted, you can proceed to break your egg and begin cooking it. If you want to maximize flavor, spoon some butter over your egg while cooking it.

Bacon Fat

I bet you already know that eggs and bacon are a perfect match made in heaven. If you have some bacon fat set aside somewhere in the kitchen (there are people who have the habit of keeping a ramekin of bacon oil at the back of the fridge), you should definitely use it for frying your eggs.

Bacon grease can handle high heat so feel free to crank up the stove.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil can also tolerate high heat, and it’s also a little sweet. You can use it whenever you’re using olive oil.

Vegetable/Neutral Oil

Why someone would choose to fry and egg using flavorless, pale canola oil instead of something like bacon fat or olive oil or even butter is beyond understanding. However, vegetable or canola oil can become hot without any difficulty (plus you’ll be able to get those crispy edges on your eggs).

VegetableNeutral Oil

Buy on Amazon

You can use it alongside oils that have lower smoke points like flavored or specialty oils such as pumpkin seed oil or sesame oil which tend to burn when used independently to fry eggs. By combining two oils, your egg will be able to get the best of both, that is, flavor from the special oil and heat from the vegetable oil. You can also serve it as the bas of a serious spice soup.

About Me

RachaelHello and welcome!

Berry here, with some micro bakery action out of Falls River, MA.

I’m happy to pull on my checkered bakers pants twice a week and bake up a little storm. My doughs are hobby sized, typically 12 loaves to the batch, I’m making an attempt to pull some decent bread out of the oven and I’m enjoying it immensely.

This site is simply a gallery of one doughheads meanderings and a collection point for bakery musings, links & snippets.

Thanks for the visit!
