How do you prepare your eggs?

To scramble eggs right you need a deep bowl, a whisk and 1-2 tablespoons of cold water and a 10" fry pan.

Have tried adding the water but don't find it necessary.  Grind some sea salt into the bowl before whisking.

I use a tablespoon or two of unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet.  Very low heat, mixing constantly with a silicone baking spatula until the eggs have firmed up with a proper amount of wetness still in the mix.  Timing is critical getting them off the heat and plated while still glistening (then adding a little fresh cracked black pepper on top).  Dry scrambled eggs, like ones often found at breakfast buffets, suck.

Have tried using a cast iron skillet but they generally don't come out as well.  Cast iron holds heat so well, the window to get them off the heat in time is much smaller.

Putting salt into the eggs before they are cooked is a rookie mistake, it draws out their moisture.
