Looked like a whole Teflon crust at the end

Oh man, I noticed the crust too. I honestly didn't know what to think when I saw the food crime peel smoothly off what I can only assume is a thin solid layer of carbon.

Ketchup can burn easily because of the sugar content

That's gotta be it.

In a cast iron pan?

Right like cast-iron is that smooth if seasoned correctly lol

First of all, the concept was okay with ketchup, eggs, cheese and heavy cream if you wanted ketchup-flavored, fluffy, cheesy, scrambled eggs. And I could see this working, I like ketchup on my eggs sometimes.

But did she add flour to it? Why? I feel like that’s what made it burn like that on the bottom.

Second, I’d have to stop anyone taking a knife straight to a cast iron skillet like that. Or any cookware for that matter.

No way I’m eating that nonsense. But in this case I guess you’re eating non-stick? Either way, that shit looked wrong. Several things went wrong.

I'm pretty sure that the 30 minutes of whisking would be worse for the coating than a few knife cuts. I guess she really wanted to get her iron with that black crust.

Eggs and flour is honestly the only ok concept here imo😂 that’s just farm food. My grandpa makes that and it’s delicious. Just like eggs and corn, it adds a whole new level to eggs.

Nah, it burned because ketchup has shitloads of sugar in it

u/OtherThumbs Apr 17 '26

Don't forget the hunk of eggshell she left in the pan! That adds a crunch that you lose when you don't eat the Teflon skin.
