Everyone has surely made
the
classic scrambled eggs
* before.

preparation
is not difficult either: whisk the eggs, put in the pan, stir, done.
Or?
There are a few subtleties to watch out for in order to fry the perfect scrambled eggs.
For example, which kitchen utensil or cutlery you use to
stir in the pan

Why you shouldn't cook scrambled eggs with a wooden spoon
If you have always been
using
a
wooden spoon to prepare scrambled eggs
, let me tell you: There is a better kitchen tool for this, namely a rubber or silicone spatula (also called a batter scraper).
Make absolutely sure that it is a heat-resistant spatula.
There are two good reasons why it is better not to use a wooden spoon.
First: A wooden spoon sticks to the whisked egg mixture while frying.
This means that
after each stirring
you have
to laboriously wipe
the spoon on the edge of the pan.
Second, a hard wooden spoon just doesn't get between the eggs and the pan as well, especially where the edges of the pan meet the bottom.
A flexible
silicone spatula,
on the other hand, is made for just such purposes and gets into every corner.

In addition, less of the egg mixture sticks to the edge and sides of the pan, which in turn results in
more evenly fried scrambled eggs
.
When you take it out of the pan, you get everything out completely and you have less washing up work.
If you regularly fry scrambled eggs, consider whether a silicone spatula (promotional link) would not be a worthwhile investment.
