If he turns the heat up too high, then I would have thought he's not a fan of a runny yoke either, in which case why don't you just do 2 eggs in the pan at the same time to avoid him cremating your pan?
Cooking an egg & not ending up with a non-runny yoke is easy, doing it to achieve a runny yoke, & getting the egg to the plate without the yoke breaking takes practice, especially when you're using a microwave instead of a frying pan [I don't have a cooker, just a micro, toaster, George Forman grill, sandwich toaster, & kettle]. When I have used a pan in the past [whilst living elsewhere], I found that getting eggs the way I like them [no brown/burnt bits, no bubbles in the white, runny yoke, basically like you'd see in a cartoon; as close to perfection as possible] requires using a very minimal amount of oil [put small amount on a piece of kitchen roll, then wipe the pan with it - needs to be 1 where the non-stick surface is intact], and a low heat [I prefer gas, much easier to control].
