I watched the first few minutes to see Pepin’s method.
Comments, non-stick is not required of you use a Stainless Steel lined pan.
I use Falk copper stainless lined made in Belgium.
Non-stick coating is required for cheap aluminum pans.
Melt butter, crack eggs, cook until whites are the desired done-ness, use spatula to free the edges, eggs slide right out of the pan onto plate with no sticking.
SIMPLE!!!
I get a real kick out of those that try to reinvent the wheel for various reasons.
Whether out of boredom, $$ monetary considerations in this era of monetization or just plain stupidity.
Even better is to fry Benton’s bacon and then fry the eggs in the grease!
Commercial bacon is a far cry from the real stuff, water injected and cures who knows how, the stuff shrivels up into something not even resembling bacon.
As to health, we have been sold wrong evidence on what is healthy over the decades by sometimes well intentioned people and some not so well intentioned.
Salt cured and naturally smoked bacon is not the same product as water/salt injected and artificially smoked bacon.
In any event bacon goes with fried eggs.
Same is true for Salt cured, naturally smoked ham such as Rice’s.
