how the fuck did anyone cook eggs before they invented nonstick pans

@Felthry I hear you can do it by cooking at very specific temperatures, so that water in the egg boils fast enough to kinda leidenfrost-shield it from sticking. This SOUNDS super finicky but apparently you can test the temperature with a drop of water, and eggs cook fast so it doesn't have to stay steady for super long!

When I was a kid we didn't have non-stick pans, and we cooked eggs with the help of generous amounts of butter to keep things from sticking.

Er, that's "we" as in "my family", not a general "we". I'm pretty sure they at least existed by then.
