Eggs – Is the induction cooktop sinking the eggs? Why are they sticking to the bottom

breakfasteggsinductionoil

I have this tried and true fried egg recipe I have done multitudes of time. It is as simple as putting in a pool of some oil and cracking the eggs into it. I can then cover it and leave it to cook for awhile for some great results.

I just started at a new place that has an induction cooktop and I have been having the hardest time doing this recipe! Essentially now every time I try the eggs tend to somehow start sticking to the bottom. This has never happened to me before.

This is probably a ridiculous question but is there anything about induction cookware that might encourage eggs to stick to the bottom or otherwise not float too well?

It is simply a different rate of heating. Your pan is getting hotter than you are accustomed to. You'll have to experiment with settings, and possibly pans, to find one that works.
