Love to see those carbon steel pans, but eggboy has overloaded them with oil.

Those pans are naturally non-stick and you only need a bit of oil in them for a good fry and to keep the non-stickyness. That much oil can make them tacky and will make the eggs crunchy and dry insted of giving them that tasty pan-fried surface finish.

• “If we take every hostile NPC we come across prisoner to await a 100% death-sentence, instead of killing them here and now, we’ll have to start building concentration camps soon and I don’t know if that’s actually better or worse.”

• “Gentlemen, can’t we solve this peacefully?” - “Yes, of course, we’re always ready to talk. But only if it ends with you dead.” - “You seemed to have missed the point there.”
