Frying an egg properly is a classic example of a test a chef will give to a prospective line cook in order to gauge how much experience he has.
If you don't already know how to fry an egg you're fucked (unless your dad is even worse, in which case who gives a shit).

It's really damn easy with the right pan.
I want an omelette pan so fucking bad though.
Make some bacon first and fry the egg in the bacon grease.

It's not about the pan, it's about the experience of the cook controlling heat and moving things around at the right time in the most efficient way.
Obviously better tools make the job easier, but someone asking for a fried egg recipe to learn in 10 minutes without practice is going to fuck up just as badly no matter what kind of pan you give them.

Yeah but it's easy to learn. Being able to slide the eggs around like they're floating is key.
I only ever owned one pan that didn't fuck this up, a 8 inch cast iron.

I need new cookware, but I can make eggs just fine.

A few days ago I saw the best cooking advice I've ever read on /ck/ and think it deserves a thread of its own
Here's what you're gonna do OP. Listen carefully because this is very important advice. Lots of people think cooking is all about complicated recipes, big cookbooks and arduous effort. Really it's more of an innate thing.
Learning to cook is much more simple, so pay close attention to what I'm going to say. Are you listening?
Fry an egg and experiment with various seasoning. This will give you an idea of what flavours go well together which is the most important quality in cooking. Fry an egg, cut it in quarter, season each quarter differently. Try one with cayenne and, I dunno, chives? Just experiment with lots of seasoning combinations.
Then fry another egg and repeat the process. Keep frying eggs and experimenting until you get a good idea of what works. You can eat 3-4 eggs in a day, heck you're from /fit/ so probably 6+. If you eat 6 eggs in a day, that's 24 egg quarters, 24 seasoning combinations in a day. You're talkng about 1000 seasoning combinations in just over a month.
At this stage you'll be a spicemaster and what/how you cook wont matter because you'll be better at seasoning than 99% of professional chefs, and this WILL make you a good cook

Throwing arbitrary seasonings at eggs will not make you better at seasoning dishes than 99% of professional chefs.
It will make you better at cooking fried eggs and throwing arbitrary seasonings at them.
Repetition and experience with a great number of dishes and learning the nuances of a dish will make you a better chef than 99% of what's around. There's more to be said for great technique than superfluous flavors.

I must disagree. I have had training from a Michelin star chef and he recommended the egg seasoning method. It is a brute force method - by trying hundreds, if not, thousands of combinations of eggs, you will eventually find the perfect combinations. It's not the worst advice you can give an amateur chef.
>1000s combinations egg seasonings
>pro fried egg chef
seasonings should be paired with ingredients. not everything you cook is a blank slate. seasoning eggs doesn't help train a chef how to season beef, fish, chicken, vegetables, soups, etc.

It's pasta from just this past year that one or two people were trying to force for awhile.
