Q. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?

A. Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. Though the same recipe is used each time, one may need to vary the cooking time for one of these reasons:

Eggs vary in size.

Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time.

The shapes of utensils vary, thereby making it necessary to vary the cooking time.

Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
