>>67783845you get a feel for the heat of your stove eventually, then you can kinda see what the recipe is going for. there are a lot of things they can't explain you just have to understand how to do, otherwise every recipe would be 100x longer.
i recommend cooking an egg every day until you nail it. if it's too cold, it will take forever and get greasy. if it's too hot, the bottom will dry out before it heats through. you also need just the right amount of butter, which is what transfers a lot of the heat to the egg. too little butter and your egg will stick and cook unevenly, and it also needs to heat up before you add the egg, but if it gets too hot the butter itself will burn. putting the right amount of salt on it afterwards is also an important skill.
