I can now make a perfect omelette!

[GingerBiscuit]

I have always been a good cook, an instinctual cook who just kind of bungs things in a opan and makes it good. I can make avocado soup for god's sake. Yet omelettes escaped my ability. I always ended up with a chewy, burned, mangled mass of egg.

But now, thanks to the goddess Delia Smith I have made a perfect omelette. So I must pass the knowledge on...

I have an omelette pan, made by KItchen Gourmet. I LOVE it!

Now omelettes are made with eggs right??

(while waitressing if you dont remember, I had to constantly inform people omelettes are made of eggs.)

I have an omelette pan too. I call it a "skillet." :D

(ducks the inevitable barrage of thrown eggs)

Did you get yours at the store because I got mine at the store. We must be related.

I have the same thing. I need to make an omelette again

So is it really weird that I like my eggs with stuff scrambled in, but I don't like omelets?

[Slytovhand]

Ummm - ok...

I've always (well -not really, but only since I figured it made sense...) cooked it first in the pan/skillet, and then once the underside is cooked (which you should be able to tell by the bubbles/steam coming up) to put it under the grill til the top is all nicely done...

Works for me, and as long as I'm not distracting myself by being on the computer, it doesn't burn the bottom!

I make an omelette about every fortnight or 3 weeks...(and always the same - pretty much - bacon, onion, mushroom -with cream in the egg mixture. Sometimes I'll throw in OJ too :D)

At least you aren't as bad as some people in the Hospitality management course that my Catering course ran alongside of.

Keep in mind, the course was for those who wanted to end up being managers in restaraunts.

One of them didn't know how to even fry an egg, another didn't know what the yolk was :lol:

Hell, I hate the smell and sight of cooked eggs and yet I still knew, long before I started Catering what the yolk was and how to fry an egg.

No, they're baby oms. :rimshot:

[Dilorenzo]

I see she didn't call for any Dijon mustard added to it. As nothing is perfect until Dijon is included, that is not the perfect omlette.

Guess the yolk was on them! :rimshot:

I would hate to see what you consider perfect ice cream.....

ow..ow...OW! Hot tea singed my sinuses...*sob*

I cannot make an omelette to save my life. I make KILLER scrambled eggs though (with the works: garlic, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, bacon and cheese).
