This is the simple text that we read today in the viral post that is currently arrived at the almost dizzying figure 39 million like. A brilliant provocation that has focused everything on word of mouth and that was launched by still unknown authors.

Why an egg?

The choice of the subject who should have beaten every record proved to be spot on, yet the motivation for this choice has not yet been made official. The image certainly returns to a simple element, faceless and in common use. Something that is present every day in homes all over the world and that we take for granted. But if we notice that the records that up to now had made news on Instagram were closely related to birth theme, the egg could take on a symbolic character. It is an egg from which could something be born?

Fried egg: the rules – Italian Cuisine

Of a person who does not know how to cook it is said that "he can not even make a fried egg". But why? Is it really so simple to prepare a fried egg?

THE'fried egg it is perhaps one of the quickest recipes to bring to the table. Few ingredients, indeed practically only if we exclude butter is salt that we all have at home.
But to make a really good fried egg, you have to respect the rules that no one has ever really taken seriously into consideration.
Like all good and well done things in the kitchen, however, there are steps to be respected even in a seemingly simple recipe like that of fried eggs. Here, then our tips.

Question of chemistry

The perfection of a fried egg is in compliance with some chemical rules that all lead to the achievement of the ideal cooking temperature.
It is very important, therefore, to consider the molecules of the egg and their relationship with the outside and to do so it is necessary to achieve perfect cooking. keep the fires very low and wait for the butter to melt slowly.
The same applies to the egg. As soon as the egg white has condensed the egg is ready for the yolk to remain creamy.

Fried egg: cooking

The egg should cook in a non-stick or cast-iron pan with a knob of butter.
You can also use monopodtion cocottes or oven dishes for large portions to put in the oven, but we recommend cooking on the stove because you can keep it under control.
The butter must be warm, but not excessively. To be clear, do not fry, but simply melt and heat slowly. Many use oil instead of butter, but the smoke point is lower and the egg is likely to burn on the outside. With butter, however, cooking will be perfect and the consistency of the egg will be softer.
The fried egg cooks for 4-6 minutes at most and yolk and egg white must reach a perfect balance of consistencies.
Unfortunately it is impossible to use a kitchen thermometer and the only rule to follow is to maintain a medium-low temperature.

But now let's go into detail to explain step by step the recipe of the perfect fried egg.
