Will using silicone fried egg molds stick to the pan?

Silicone fried egg molds are one of the commonly used items in kitchens today. Some people like to use it to fry eggs because it can save oil and is less likely to stick to the pan. However, for some people, when using a silicone fried egg mold, they may find that it still sticks to the pot. Why is this?

Firstly, we need to understand the characteristics of silicone fried egg molds. The silicone fried egg mold is made of silicone rubber, which has a smooth and soft surface, weak heat absorption ability, and is not easy to transfer heat. It is usually not an anti stick coating. On the contrary, traditional non stick coatings are usually made of non stick compounds and added to the surface of cookware to achieve a non stick effect.

Although silicone fried egg molds are easier to use than traditional frying pans, they also have some limitations, especially in different cooking methods. If heated over low heat, boiled eggs can maintain smooth movement and moderate transpiration. But if silicone fried egg molds are used at high temperatures, these molds are more likely to stick to the pot, and during the egg cooking process, this can lead to protein loss or loss of other important nutrients.

In addition, silicone fried egg molds also require proper maintenance. Before using the silicone fried egg mold, make sure it is clean and free of oil stains to avoid deformation caused by expansion during heating.

To use a silicone fried egg mold, you need to pay attention to some techniques. Firstly, temperature is extremely important. You need to heat the mold first, and then pour the egg mixture into the mold. The temperature should not be too high to avoid mold breakage and deformation, which may cause oxidation of the egg mixture and loss of nutrients. Secondly, after waiting for the egg mixture to solidify, you can pay attention to flipping the fried egg over low heat on a flat bottomed pan, and then continue flipping and frying until cooked.

In summary, using a silicone frying pan mold does not completely avoid the adhesion of the pan, but it is easier to clean than traditional frying pans. To effectively perform its intended function, appropriate temperature and techniques should be used, and the mold should be kept clean. In this way, you can effectively eliminate your doubts and easily cook delicious fried eggs.
