Scrambled Eggs - Low and Slow or High and Fast?

Most of my life, when I've made scrambled eggs I've had the heat on high and they'd be done in no time at all, probably less than two or three minutes but several months ago I saw several different cooks on the Food Network preparing scrambled eggs very slowly on low heat. Since then I've started to make mine that way and I must admit they ARE better. Lighter, fluffier, more tender and certainly they LOOK nicer. How do you fix yours - low and slow and high and fast?

I used to cook them at a high heat, so they would get done faster. I also saw something on a cooking show(don't remember which one) about them being more tender if you cook them slower on a lower heat. I have made them that way ever since. You are right, they do taste better.

So I'm not the only one to learn something from the Food Network! They really are better this way. I think its was Rachael Ray who I heard it from the first time but I'm not sure now. Annie

Actually I cook them on medium heat. I whip them with a fork in a bowl with salt, garlic, pepper and some milk. Yum.

I cook them on medium heat, but probably should slow down. I read somewhere that the protein in eggs is more digestible when eggs are cooked slowly, but I don't know if it's true.

I do mine in the microwave with lots of butter! Takes about 30 seconds! 10 seconds, stir, 20 seconds, done. They taste great...but doesn't anything with lots of butter!

This is pretty simple, but how about cereal? Or fresh fruit is always an excellent choice for breakfast if you like fruit and have it available. Any fruit will do in just about any combination. Bananas with peanut butter and a little honey is also good - with or without toast. Annie
