How to make fried eggs so that the yolk is beautiful in the middle.
First, preheat the Teflon to cook the fried eggs. While waiting for it to heat up, you don't need to add any oil at all. Even so, you don't need to worry about fried eggs sticking, because there are still further tricks that help non-stick fried eggs on Teflon.
Then, when the Teflon is hot, just crack the egg on top of it slowly so it doesn't fall apart. While waiting for the egg white to no longer be clear, shake the Teflon so that the egg yolk is in the middle and trim the edges of the fried egg with a spatula so that it is neatly rounded.

How to ensure that the eggs you are going to cook are not fishy.
Sometimes cooked eggs give off a fishy smell, making the dish taste less delicious. This can happen either because the storage or cooking method is not correct. So, here are a number of ways to ensure that the eggs you are going to cook are not fishy.
1. Choose fresh eggs.
Fresh eggs tend to have a neutral odor. Make sure the eggs you use are still within their expiration date and not broken.
2. Store eggs properly.
Store eggs in the refrigerator and keep them away from other foods that have a strong smell, such as onions or fish.
3. Wash eggs before cooking.
Rinse the eggs with clean water before cooking to remove any dirt that may be stuck to the shell.
4. Don't boil for too long.
If you cook hard-boiled eggs, don't leave them in boiling water for too long. The ideal time for boiled eggs is usually around 7-10 minutes, depending on the level of doneness you want.
5. Quickly cool the eggs.
Once boiled, remove the eggs from the boiling water and immerse them in cold water or ice water immediately. This will help stop the cooking process and prevent the eggs from overcooking, which can cause a fishy smell.
6. Consume in a short time.
Cooked eggs should be consumed within a short time after cooking. Don't let eggs sit at room temperature for too long after cooking.
