How To Fry An Egg (Video Demo)

When I started off cooking I wanted to work in one of the best kitchens in town so I walked into one of the only Michelin Star restaurants in town and asked for a job. The chef, Conrad Gallagher didn’t do interviews or even accept CVs and instead asked potential chefs to simply fry and egg. His logic was that he could tell just how talented you were by completing such a simple task. Would you season it correctly? Baste the yolk? Remove the grease? etc etc. Luckily I passed that challenge at the time and got a job and many years later we decided to make this video showing people at home how to cook the perfect fried egg. See how you get on with cooking the perfect fried egg and if you want the full details on the video you can see them here.
