Ever wonder how to cook egg in oven. You’re in the right place my friend. I have few in my arsenal and I’m willing to share them to you.
Why use the oven instead? Maybe you’re cutting back on fat or the oven is on already. Cooking some extra will save energy, instead of firing up the gas stove. And it will also save you time cleaning.
The more you want to clean less when you’re in a condo or dorm. Splashing and spraying oil might mess up the tight space.
You have a refined palate. Pan and oven cooked eggs might have a subtle taste difference. But that difference is what keeps you attached to the oven.
Then consider getting a dependable oven. Whether it’s a gas range or electric, it should be accurate and safe. Never explode when in use and gives the correct temperature. If you already have, set a regular check and cleaning for accuracy and durability.
Next are the eggs. Shop for the freshest eggs you can find. Then proceed cooking egg in oven.
