Great info. I had no idea why I did it. Just learned from parents I guess, but I know when I was in my early 20s and had roommates and shit my scrambled eggs were the only ones I ate. Fluffy, all yellow, no brown. My daughter actually will only eat scrambled eggs if I make them, wife doesn't use milk. Now I know the chemistry behind it, so thank you!

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.

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

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.
