Why when I cook my eggs in a frying pan, does the egg white turn to the consistency of plastic?

Am I getting some kind of cheapass low quality garbage eggs, am I cooking it all wrong, or is it normal?

I've tried google searching about this but apparently I'm the only person in the world who finds his eggwhites cooking to the consistency and taste of rubberized plastic.

You're overcooking them you utter dingus.

Turn your heat down and stop splashing the oil overtop.

no, keep heat at same level and cook them for less time, have hot oil in the pan before adding egg.

pan is to be HOT before you cook food, you don't add food then heat up the pan

You can preheat a pan without heating it up too hot you troglodyte

You're frying eggs, not searing a steak. The pan doesn't need to be nuclear.

are you using a nonstick pan

i used to try cooking eggs in a non-nonstick pan and this would always happen even if i used nonstick spray

you might need fresher eggs too. with older ones the whites tend to thin out more

No, that's not quite right. There are exception where you start with the food in a cold pan.

I used to cook eggs on low heat for a really long time until they were "just perfect" too, until I realized how much better they turned out by cooking them in a hot pan with a little oil. You should be able to take the eggs off the pan after cooking for no more than a minute. Turn off the heat when they are just barely undercooked and as you are putting them in your plate and they are sitting on your plate cooling down, the final softness will continue cooking so that they will be perfectly done by the time you eat them.
