this is how a woman rolls and omelette…
can we get a man to do this?
Thank you.
Gonna try napkin technique here in a bit. Sometimes I struggle with the 3 roll. Won’t it take off the butter from the egg though if that’s what you greased your pan with?
None of your techniques does really any fascinating omelettes. If you want to improve, have a look to the Jacques Pepin’s sovoire faire.
Omelettes should NOT have brown on the outside or crispy brown edges….shame shame.
The paper towel technique! I'm going to go try this right now . . . .
. . . . It was a little iffy getting it out of my curved pan onto the paper towel, but eventually it worked pretty well. Using a non-stick spray next time. So glad I watched this!
so THAT'S how you do it!!
Cool
Thanks. I know what I was doing wrong now in under a minute. 🙂
Aye, thanks..
You saved me
❤️
But I like it folded in the pan to allow it to set up a minute before serving, mine sort of finishes cooking as one piece, not flopping around.
Good video for folding, but when I look for a video of how to cook an omelette, I ALSO look for how many eggs to use, how little/much to beat them, do I use spray or butter, which heat setting, how long, etc. to get to where I CAN fold them over.
“The mark of a good chef is Her omelette.”
I really don’t know why, but that caught me off guard for a sec. 🧐
Thinking of questions like, “why can’t anyone be a chef type questions???”
THANK YOU!
My husband a chef but I am going to purchase me an Omelette pan for when he’s not home.
The mark of a good chef is HIS omelet. That's what the princess meant to say.
You dont need a trick to do that, im a 24 year old pot head, who can do that with my spatula.
If you use a paper towel then it absorbs all your butter, dumb
2 "standard" kinds of omelets? According to whom?
I wouldn't have dreamed that a simple omelette video would bring out so much of the asshole in so may people. This is just one way to fold an omelette. There are many others. NO one that takes cooking seriously ( or for that matter knows much about it ) would write the carping crap in the comments below. If cooking was as rigid and inflexible a discipline as the jerks below portray it no one would ever do it.
Because the US kicthen is so good…… They are the worst omlettes I have ever seen. I would never serve that horrid looking thing and if I was served that, I would return it.
