Although this dish may appear time-consuming at first glance, it is actually very quick to make! Saladmaster’s patented vapo-valve technology allows you to cook the different elements simultaneously, drastically cutting down your cooking time. Just listen out for the clicking and turn down the heat accordingly.
Once you master frying an egg in Saladmaster, you will never want to use another frying pan again! If you are finding that your eggs are sticking to the pan, it is likely due to one of the following reasons: a) you are not preheating your pan to be hot enough (make sure you perform the water beading test to check it is hot enough); or b) you are keeping the heat too high after you have placed your egg on the pan (ensure you lower the heat once the egg is cooking). You can find an in-depth tutorial on how to fry eggs perfectly in Saladmaster here.
