Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my scrambled eggs turn watery?

Watery eggs often result from using too high a heat. Keep the flame low and stir constantly.

Can I use milk instead of cream?

Yes, though heavy cream provides a richer, more luxurious mouthfeel.

How do I keep bacon flat?

Start with a cold pan and avoid overcrowding the bacon strips.
