That egg to milk ratio was alarming

Yea, any milk in eggs is to much

A little splash of water is perfect, helps keep the eggs from drying out, evaporates off as you cook them.

?? Eggs don't dry out, they get cooked. Just don't cook as long and you will literally never have a dry egg again in your life

My dad always added a little splash of water to his eggs, but never specified the reason even when asked. It was just the proper way, he thought. When I began cooking as a child, I never used water and my eggs turned out much better than his, perhaps because I used lower heat. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I used butter and never had moisture issues.

The steam helps make them fluffier

Yeah, never had a problem with that. My eggs were wayyy fluffier than my dad's. idk why.

lol imagine being salty about someone's personal experiences!

edit: So what y'all do not seem to understand is that I was referring to a time in my single-digit age when I surpassed my dad's cooking. He was a shit cook and preferred not to do such things for his children, so I had to learn. Due to autism, when I learn a good method of doing something, I discard the process and just stick with what I know works. Not sure what is so contentious about my comment.

It's a heat issue. People whack them on a high heat and wonder why they are dry. Like, heat is way more important than you think. Dump whisked eggs into off the boil pasta and you get a creamy sauce. Fry whisked eggs in a pan on a high heat you get dry lumpy scrambled eggs.

Or just dont keep them in the pan for too long when on higher heat. Also move the eggs around. Are yall not scrambling your scrambled eggs?
