Gordon Ramsay has seven Michelin stars and is a great chef.

He needs skilled chefs to work in his restaurants. He tests their skills with a simple egg.

Ramsay and Jacques Pepin test cooks by asking them to make scrambled eggs or an omelette.

Ramsay says if they can make perfect scrambled eggs, they know how to cook.

Making great eggs shows a cook has mastered basic skills.

The test is trickier than it seems. Making perfect eggs is not easy.

Perfect eggs need patience, skill, and good judgement. Ramsay removes the pan from heat every 30 seconds.

It's not about ingredients, it's about technique.

Cooking with a Michelin star chef watching shows how you work in the kitchen.

Do you appear anxious? Are you organized? Do you tidy up? These details show your capabilities.

Next time, focus on the basics, like eggs, to evaluate your cooking skills.
