Cooking to Desired Style
For a fried egg, let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the white is set and the yolk is still runny. For a scrambled egg, stir the egg gently in the skillet with a spatula until fully cooked. For a poached egg, simmer water in a separate pot and gently slide the egg into the water, cooking for about 3-4 minutes.
