I have a new non-stick pan and it’s the first time in my entire life I’ve had this issue when frying an egg.

Whether I’m on 1/10 heat (Gas stove), 3/10, or 5/10 heat it does the same thing: It films over the skin of the egg with a strange texture, but doesn’t actually stick to the pan.

In that video I managed to separate the film from the egg, but I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong to have that film develop in the first place? It’s a firm-plastic texture, like a tupperware lid.

    Yes, I’ve had that happen multiple times. This happens when you’re technically not frying your eggs because of not enough fat. Sure, it won’t stick even without, but it will also come out like this.

    Seems like the fat keeps the egg from burning and will also influence the underside. What you got there is a disk of nearly-burned protein.
