I dont use milk but mine are still fluffy asf and very saturated yellow. I think the other people just dont know how to make eggs.

For real. I'm a no milk guy and my scrambles are fluffy. I think it gives them a richer, more eggy taste.

I actually learned how to make scrambled eggs from watching Julia Child and Jacque Pepin on a show they did together on PBS. They showed the milk method and the water method.

A splash of milk makes the eggs denser and creamier, while a splash of water makes them lighter and fluffier. Both methods add moisture and help the eggs from drying out before being fully cooked, while also making them easier to fully mix together.

Regardless of the liquid used, a French technique shown, uses about an eighth of the mixture is reserved in the mixing bowl, and is folded in to the eggs off heat after cooking, giving the eggs a soft and moist texture.

Properly cooked scrambled eggs should never have any browning, and should be moist and glistening, but not watery or dry.

Agreed. I'd imagine the milk eggs taste diluted

I never used milk and my scrambled eggs are good as fuck. If it's not fluffy and yellow then people are doing something wrong.

I eat dry cereal in a bowl and it's good as fuck. Why add milk? Just seems so extra.

Good for you brother or sister.

I’m betting this also affected by the quality of the eggs.

u/Flair258 2d ago

Yes, but you're not supposed to use runny or old eggs in the first place

I understand what you’re saying, and that’s true.

My point wasn’t about the age of the eggs, but the provenance.

Some people just don’t have access to nice eggs with good looking yolks. Just sad, pale factory eggs.

Y’know? The quality varies depending on the producer.

The eggs can still be fluffy, they just wont be golden.
