- Whisk well: Whisk the eggs and milk until frothy for light and fluffy results.
- Use enough butter: Butter not only adds flavor but also keeps the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Stir constantly: Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to gently move the eggs around as they cook to avoid overcooking or burning.
- Turn off early: For soft, creamy eggs, turn off the sauté mode just before the eggs are fully set. The residual heat will finish cooking them perfectly.
