Burnt edges/undercooked whites: If your egg whites on the bottom and edges are too brown before they are cooked, the pan is too hot. Try using lower heat next time, or add a lid to cook from top to bottom at the same time. To save this egg for the last minute, flip it over and cook briefly on the other side to finish cooking the whites without browning the bottom (make it easier or tougher).
Cracked Yolk After Flipping: Be gentle, my friend! Flipping too aggressively can cause the yolk to break when flipping the egg. Trying to flip the egg too early can also cause the yolk to break. If you’re planning to hard-boil your eggs, broken yolks won’t be a problem, but if you’re planning to over-easy it can be annoying.
Eggshell in the skillet: To avoid small pieces of eggshell in your fried eggs, be sure to tap the eggshell to a flat surface rather than the edge of the pan, which can push into the egg whites. . For extra precaution, you can crack the eggs into a bowl first, then slide them into the pan after making sure there are no bits of shell in the eggs.
