when cooking with eggs, even so much as making cookies, why was I always told once you add the eggs, only stir one way?

anyone know? or some myth?

 

Myth..I beat the crap out of it, in all directions, and it still tastes like food

 

I've never heard that before... I use the Mindcore method of egg-beating as well.

 

No that is correct in some contexts. For some recipies you do not want to interduce air into the eggs.

But the mincore way of doing things is a great way to make light scrambled eggs.

 

For omelette or scrambled eggs, I always use a mini-whisk, and beat the living sh*t out of the little fokker.

 

Depending on which hemisphere you're in, you beat it the opposite direction of which your drain flows. That way the whites and yolks get mixed thoroughly. If you go with the pull of natural forces then you really aren't mixing it.

*I really have no idea. I just know that it's more natural to go one way than the other.*

 

If you stir it one way and then the other way, the monster will come out..... and eat all the egg.

 

i heard if you mix other then 1 way, an alien grows in your backyard!

i'm still waiting though. maybe i just don't see it
