Hi All,

Thank you all so much for the suggestions. I have cooked up two
rounds of eggs since. I am using the lid method to cut down
on the grease. The first batch had the heat still a little
too high. The second batch I peeked under the lid too much.
My bottoms are now about 90% less browned. And,
I actually enjoyed them again! :-)
