Emoji Egg

Does anyone know what the target surface pan temp should be for this recipe?

I am new to cooking eggs low and slow. Tried the recipe today and my yolk was nice and runny on top, but some of the bottom portion of the yolk was already cooked. Not ideal. A target pan temp would probably help resolve this issue, unless a portion of cooked yolk on the bottom is typical of cooking eggs this way.

Anyone else have this issue?

Lou, the pan should be hot to the touch, but not so hot that it instantly burns you. I've done it a bunch, and although I haven't measured the surface temperature of the pan, I would guess it's somewhere around 250F to 275F.

Here you go...went in and cooked one for you. On low heat my stove (tiniest burner) hits 320F. I remove it from the heat and drop the egg in (Drain it first to get the really runny part off) i used olive oil for this. you can see the temp dropping and the egg cooking. I had almost no cooked yolk at the bottom (you will have a thin layer at the least

Patience...you cannot cook these low or slow enough... Have fun, its takes some practice on your own equipment.
