Was this on an electric or a gas stove? Now if we're cooking with gas (as the east Germans use to say in the 80's), that generates quite some PM2.5 in an of itself. Also, anyone cooking eggs without getting to the Maillard reaction (or for that matter, with oil instead of butter) should never again legally allowed to approach a frying pan :D | ||

I like eggs fried crispy. I like eggs fried in butter. Eggs fried gently and soft are luxurious. Oil cooked eggs are lovely. You can do it in a wok and get them puffy with a crispy bottom and a soft top. Or you can make the top crispy. Sometimes butter brings extra flavor when I really want the egg flavor. There are many valid ways to make eggs. | ||

Gas typically doesn’t result in too much pm2.5 - but you do get a lot of combustion byproducts that are similarly unhealthy in the form of NOx, benzenes and other VOCs. | ||

Author here. I have an induction hob! Unfortunately, I use oil :) | ||
