What omelet making tips would you recommend?
Both are very bad options
Again, annoying squeaky narrator.
I dont care I just want the protein ffs
Any pan you have to seasoned should be heated BEFORE you add whatever fat/oil you intend to use.
I didn't know that IHOP put pancake mix in their pancakes, I have been doing that for 25-30 years. Usually make up some pancakes then use the same bowl to make omelettes. So it would probably be a tablespoon per 4-6 eggs. There was three of us so I usually made 6-9 eggs with 2Tbls pancake batter.
Eventhough it'll probably be 'overkill', I may try mixing my eggs in the stand mixer with the whisk attachment next time, see if they get 'fluffier' 😉
I was always too intimidated to cook an omelet. After many videos, I just added oil and butter to my steel pan, beat up 3 eggs, moved them continually, did a flip, and enjoyed the most fantastic omelet ever!
Next time, I used my cast iron pan, and it turned out perfect as well. Olive oil, butter, and eggs!!! Inside is just creamy perfect.
If I remember, it's a
7 minutes, Gordon Ramsey omelet in half the time and looks the same
This iwas stupid, why didn't you just show The Best Omelets Tips without the movie clips.
11 minutes for 30 seconds of content and it's not good content at that.
Uhhh… “adding a bit of water makes fluffier eggs because the water evaporates during cooking, leaving air bubbles behind – but water can dlilute the rich taste of the egg. Consider the illogic of thst statement.
Some good tips. She did not say it but don't confuse margarine with butter. Use better it's better and healthier.
Butter doesn’t taste nutty …it tastes like butter . Nuts taste like nuts .
Yummmy tasty food
I'm a GenXer. When I beat eggs, Whip It by Devo automatically plays in my head. 🙃
Lol really tho 😂
Can't eat black pepper can I use red pepper?
I don't bother with structured omelets anymore. I just add the same things to scrambled eggs and it tastes the same. I am gonna try the adding water tip.
Consider how incongruous is the statement thst water added to the eggs evaporates to leave a fluffier omelet, but the water can also dilute the flavor of the eggs. Let that sink into your logic for a bit.
Step 1) remove that gross chunky white umbilical cord.
I'm one of the people that does't eat pork so bacon and susage is out for me
I take a beef hot dog , brown it in the pan , then pour the scramble mix in. Great with some applesauce on the side !
Why is there a creepy man standing behind her in the dark while she’s seated at a desk? He doesn’t say anything or move. It’s just creepy.
I made a good omelette the other day and I realized I hated it idk why but I didn’t like it so much the point I spat it out
Author never cooked by itself just bla bla reading from the book.
The egg cookery in this video is horrible, anyone who has cooked in a professional kitchen will tell you the same.
bloody hell ,sounded more like waffle to me ,11 mins?
weird mouse in cooking recipe is very very gross, it's a white thing
Eggs cook at 160°F and water boils off at 212°F, so do not add water to an omelet
Never ditch the yoke. Contrary to the criminal claptrap of Ansel Keys eggs with yokes are superfood containing everything the body needs. Never cook in vegetable (seed-) oils.

That cheese looks shady.
I separate the eggs first.
Then whip the whites to soft point.
Beat the yolks with salt and pepper; (sometimes other herbs or spices depending on what I'm planning). (Very rarely, a little cream.)
Then carefully fold the yolk mix into the whites to an even colour before pouring the entire mix into the pan.
As it starts to firm through, add the precooked toppings.
Just as the bottom approaches pale colour, remove from the heat, add grated cheese, (if you want), then place under the grill until top is done.
Remove pan from oven/grill, fold in half and serve.
I use a cast iron frying pan but this should work for most heavy base pans.
(If you're using a thinner style pan that doesn't hold base heat, cook the bottom a fraction longer.)
Makes really bulky fluffy omelets.
I sometimes cook them with a mix of butter and macadamia oil just for the extra flavour.
Just a side note, for those reading this in countries where your eggs have to be refrigerated, get them to room temp before you start.
A shot of Jack Daniels adds a special kick too.
This is a very basic video full of misdirections. There is some good advice but mostly basic, basic.basic.
