Testing the Oil and Butter Method for Eggs: One Fat Wins

Butter was demonized for decades. Then the internet flipped the script and started calling butter a superfood while labeling cooking oils as “poison.” 🧈🫒 So what should you actually cook your eggs with?

In this video, we put three popular cooking methods head-to-head: butter, olive oil, and the classic chef technique of combining oil + butter. 🍳🔥

But this isn’t just about which one tastes better. We’re looking at what actually happens when these fats hit a hot pan, including their fatty acid composition, heat stability, oxidation, and what the research tells us about long-term health.

Does adding oil to butter really protect it from burning? Is butter actually healthier than we were told? And does extra virgin olive oil deserve its reputation as one of the healthiest fats?

By the end, you’ll know which fat comes out on top for cooking eggs and why the answer has much more to do with chemistry and evidence than internet trends.
