Look What I Did!

Finally! I finally made a perfect omelet. Took me 46 years, but I did it!

[Gail]

Well! How about that! Congratulations!

Well, how do I know that it is perfect.  I have not had a bite!

It was perfect for my grandmother. It was perfect to me because it formed correctly and did not break in the transfer from skillet to plate.

O.K.  But, I have not had a bite.  So, I do not know that it was perfect.

Aubrey, do you scramble the eggs for the omelet?  I've not seen an omelet where the egg white and yolk were separated.  (prolly tastes the same!  )

I semi-scramble them. I used one whole egg and some egg whites (from a cardboard jug). Even when I make scrambled eggs, I usually only semi-scramble them. I like it that way...my husband thinks it's weird.

You are a good granddaughter. It's also really cool that you still have your grandparents or at least one of them. I can make great scrambled eggs and that's about it as far as eggs go.

I'd like to place an order, now. Please add some tiny pieces of red and green bell pepper to make it a little more interesting and crunchy, but leave the bacon out.

Liz, I'm really only good at making scrambled eggs usually! Don't feel bad. I think I figured out the "trick" to this omelet--it's the size of the pan! When I cook at home, I'm cooking for at least 2 of us (usually 4) and my pots and pans are bigger. My grandma's been living alone for 30 years, so her pots and pans are perfect for making smaller portions. 

Alien, you got it! It'll be ready in an hour.

I used to think I had to cook the egg on both sides before adding the filling to make the omelet..  That's what always made mine break apart.  Now I just cook over low heat, *cover the skillet* with a lid until the egg is just done, add the filling on half, and fold the other half over on top, and keep it on the heat until the filling is done, flipping it a couple times during the process.  Easy to do when the egg is done.

I wish I'd read your instructions years ago. It may have made my life so much more pleasant!

Maybe you could fax it in time for breakfast. Actually, that day might not be too far off. Send the instructions to smart cookware that you just add the ingredients and it does the rest. (Kind of like a what a bread machine does.) Buy one, get one free. But wait, there's more...

Hehehe...3D printed omelets! I have seen a pancake press before.
