Believe it or not, it has taken me a long time to perfect cooking an egg. It seems easy, but it's not. The wrong heat, the wrong pan, the wrong amount of oil or butter can really throw things off. I still wanna find a technique that allows to cook perfectly well fried eggs. Are there any methods you're aware of?

That’s a big question. In general, cooking eggs seems to be harder for humans to do right than boiling them, I think. You could just cook eggs in butter or oil over low heat on a skillet, but I’d imagine the quality is going to be better if you use a grill pan. But the temperature on the stove could be tricky. You might want to experiment with a “bain marie”, where you place the pan on a slightly hotter burner, but then I imagine getting the temperature right is the biggest challenge.
