The quick hack is easy to complete; you just need the lid from a pan. Then, instead of tossing the eggs using a spatula, the foodie gently slides her eggs into the lid when they are ready to flip. After turning the pan upside down and lowering it over the lid, she's ready to upend the dish, remove the lid, and finish her eggs as normal.

Not only does the result look delicious but it is great for anyone who dislikes flipping eggs with a spatula, according to a comment left by the foodie. She said: "My spatula flips often break the eggs. And this doesn't."

But the foodie replied: "You've never unsuccessfully flipped an egg with a spatula? This is just an easy way to not mess it up."
