I just slide the whole thing onto the plate then fold it with my hands.
"Looks something like this:"
Omelette splattered all over the plate
You never cease to amaze.
Not grabbing a steaming hot omelet but thanks anyway.
Yes, Jacques Pepin is the king of omelets. 😊
Why do professional cooks undercook beef and eggs? Their beef looks raw and their eggs runny. You may think that’s the right way but I like my food well done.
Incredible
Until you can cook a perfect omelette in either a cast iron or stainless pan, you do not know how to cook a perfect omelette. Nonstick pans are a cheat; omelettes have existed long before nonstick pans.
That looks disgusting
I’ve watched Chef Pepin make omelettes several ways, and his methods are tried and true (along with his kind demeanor). Cheers to you passing along his teachings !
I have never pondered the science of omelet construction and dismounting before this video! Sometimes an omelet is just an omelet
Just watched the full video. Worth it! 😍
A 'clean dismount!' 😊
Ya'll have too much time on your hands.
The camera angles and switches were impressive!
I made an omelet this morning that unfortunately looked nothing like this at the end. Next weekend I'll watch this before trying again. Thank you
