omelette maker

I like omelettes for breakfast and sometimes for other
meals. But often they come out a mess in my frypan. I
recall seeing an omelette maker on a TV ad where the
omelette came out perfect everytime using all varieties of
fillings. Has anyone tried one? Worth buying? Thanks for
any advice.

Be more careful and learn to make them in the frypan. You
won't be sorry and you won't have another one-use gadget
cluttering up your cabinet.

1. They don't taste better just because they look better.
2. Most of the miraculous gadgets you see demonstrated on TV
are pure junk.

No. Get a small teflon saute pan, and learn to make
French omelettes. It's not hard, and the non-stick pan
makes it a cinch. I use a pair of chopsticks so as to not
scratch the pan.

Omelette maker? What sort of device could that possibly
be? Other than a cook armed with a frying pan and a fork,
of course.

I haven't tried one, but my gadget loving father bought one
and not surprisingly hated it. I'd suggest a good non stick
pan and a heat proof plastic spatula.

I've seem 'em. It's a hinged fry pan with 2 semicircular
sections. Add half the egg to each, filling to one, pivot
and done. To the OP - with the right pan and a little
practice, omelets are a cinch. I bet you can find
illustrated or even video instructions on the web. The
commonest mistake is trying to put too much filling in.

Thank you Brian and Peter for enlightening me. Odd looking
thing, wouldn't do for those who, like me, want the omelette
to be runny on the inside. Perhaps the OP, in addition to
maybe having too much filling, is not getting the pan hot
enough. The eggs should sizzle when they hit it and be done
in less than a minute.

And here's one set for you, which I was co-incidentally just
reading at the NY times. nytimes.com200Open ↗

I'm no expert in omelette-making, and I like them a bit
brown (which is apparantly a sin) but using the smallest
size nonstick pan you can find makes them really easy! Just
heat the pan then pour the egg in and gently lift the edges
one at a time to let the egg run under them. They cook
pretty quickly... no need for a special pan.

I have the type of hinged omellete pan mentioned above, and
I prefer my omelettes "soft" on the inside like you.

I preheat the pan on medium high for about 1-2 minutes, add
butter to the side I'm going to flip until it sizzles, then
add half the eggs. Stir lightly to fluff it up without over-
cooking, then add butter to the other half. (You should
probably lower the heat at this point, you could always cook
it longer if it's not to your liking). Add the rest of the
eggs to the empty side, stir around to fluff lightly, then
add fillings. Cook a little longer until the edges look good
to you. Flip the plain side over to cover the filling, and
cook until it's sealed, or until it's to your liking.

After the preheating, the whole process takes about a minute
and a half or less.

I use a flat pan more often than the omelette pan, because I
learned how to flip both sides to the middle with a little
practice, but the omelette pan is a handy gadget to play
with. Hope this helps.
