How to Tell It's Done

until it melts
until the eggs are set but still moist and soft

Tips

Low heat and patience: eggs that cook slowly stay in soft, creamy curds, while over high heat they dry out and weep water.

More Ways

Take off the heat while the eggs are still glossy and soft: the heat of the pan finishes the cooking.
Make scrambled eggs patiently over the lowest heat, in a tablespoon of butter, and transfer them to a plate at once to stop the cooking.
