To get the right number of egg for your pan, the Omelet(te) spreadsheet is here : docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
The Twelve Commandments of the Omelet :
* Optimal pan/eggs ratio
* Whisk it, no lumps
* Pan temperature (medium-hot)
* Butter be bubbling not browning
* Lil’ sound when pouring the eggs
* Combo move, Pan back and forth + Fork’s eights
* Shake flat, Shake Tilted, Take off the heat
* Thin skin on top, easier to fold, Thicker at the bottom
* Duck/moon shape
* When TAP TAP, almost flat.
* Seal it and or stuff it
* Reverse hand

Salut,

FLASH NEWS !!! Thank you all so much for your help ! Because of all the messages we sent, Claudine, Jacques Pépin's daughter tweeted back and she got Jacques himself to watch the video and rate my omelet... I'll post his reaction on the channel tomorrow.... Stay tuned !
Alex French Guy Cooking awesome!
Aww man I tweeted him for nothing! Can't wait!
Awesome man!!
congrats
That's so awesome!
The most important thing is to make sure that you're whisking really fast with a metal fork. The pan coating is the secret incredient that gives the omelett the special taste and texture.
Jacques Pepin used cast iron pan that's why he could use metal fork.
@@RealPigeonz he says it himself in the video that it is a nonstick pan..
Why add chives, when you can have flakes of PTFE?
Pepins pan is of the highest non stick quality, he can rub it with a fork as much as he wants, you can't do that with cheap non stick pans
@@MormonPJesus its pepin you donkey you really think he would sabotage his food like that in a youtube video, also the term non-stick isnt exclusive to teflon, you can have high quality anodized aluminium etc
I like how the french say “classic omelet”
And americans say “french omelet”
What do they call French fries in France...
@@imwiththeband9282 we call it "Frites" ou " pommes frites"
French in the us is overated as name for food
Yea lol
I’m with the Band 🎶 frites
The cut to you twirling with joy was as delightful as the omelette you appeared to achieve! This experience is near to my heart because this omelette was the first thing I learned to cook when I eleven or twelve. Though I never reached the pinnacle of omelette triumph as you have I got better every weekend; I literally made omelets every weekend. It is my greatest regret that I stopped learning to cook, and never fulfilled my culinary curiosity that Pepin and others inspired in me. I am thankful I found this channel as it is reawakening that curiosity.
It's never too late
@@mindyourownbastardbu too true
I like your reactions. “Light, fluffy, not seasoned, I forgot the salt, Aww I forgot the salt!” 😂
I feel a little taste less😂😂😂
majkel acar I loved when he said that because working as a chef I can say Nobody admits when they forget the salt hahaha. I love his honesty 🤣
Still good for people on bland diet!!😁
I heard ,,oh,I fuck up the salt" first
Most french thing I’ve heard all day
Imagine Alex making cereal in the morning...”The cereal to milk ratio has to be PERFECT”
*builds milk shooting robot that can be controlled with your mind*
The only rule to cereal is cereal before milk.
How much milk is kinda an art and science, you have to know the cereal, how much it floats, its affects on the milk, and the strength of its tastes, and how the milk compliments the cereal, and how tasty the left over milk is. Every milk and cereal combo is different.
hm9831 of course u knew that 😂
Pablo Panesso and make a fridge that'll keep the milk in perfect temperature that'll not affect the cereal crunch yet not too cold to eat.
hm9831, it is not that simple the ratio depends on if it is a flake cereal, rice cereal or some custom shape, Strength of flavor, flavor disolvablility, time to undesirable sogginess and many more that my brain cannot forsee, thats why we all put less milk and then add some more later
EDIT: just noticed seancoyote's comment but i feel mine is more scientific but i did missed out on the float aspect
Cette vidéo restera à jamais un grand classique cooking de UA-cam. Méthodologie, persévérance et passion sont les mots clés :) Thanks Alex!
congrats on the omelette + validation from the man himself!! as someone who recently started their journey to re-creating pépin's omelette, i really appreciated this video. it gave some much needed hope, ty
came for the omelette, stayed for the accent.
Well I'll probably never understand why foreigners love so much the french accent but from a french pov it sounds horrible.
Saitama From a Belgian pov I agree, but I do that on purpose cause it works with girls in the US lol
@@vapecat1982 cuz it's somethin different
@@vapecat1982 its because we always here our bland same accent and this sounds cool and different
Most french accents sound like something is lodged in their throat
GUYS! Jacques Pepin hasn't logged on twitter since 2016. But if you check, he posts daily on his Facebook page!!
Send him the link to the video there!! We gotta make this happen
Maybe he forgot his password?
Nice Guy Thats it! Hack his Twitter!
Note - his twitter is handled by KQED - a TV station. Most likely why he hasn't posted there in two years.
Je pense pas que ça soit lui qui gère ses posts sur Facebook.
I sent him message! Hopefully he sees this video!
I had tried to make the same omelette watching the same video... and had the same exact initial result! So glad to see you taking it to (near) perfection. I’m inspired... time to go buy some eggs!!
I actually got chills as you folded up that final omelette in the lip of the pan. Damn. We’ve all been there and we’ve watched his video over and over. Bravo!!
2 things.
1- i love the Chefs Table music/videography during the final omelette scene.😃
2- Jacques is much much more active on Facebook than Twitter.
The music was also used on the Netflix series, Chef's Table. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's a must.
Rafael Bittencourt yes!! it's the perfect intense cooking music
When an omlette making video literally follows the heros journey trope...
Its called getting better at something
You win the internet for best comment, Gordon!
“Omeletteseus”
Thank you for the inspiration! I too started with Jacques video for the most part with some tips from others. I modified for an electric stove and using coconut oil instead of butter. I sorted out the variables after the fourth trial and to my surprise it worked. Your video was everything that Jacques complemented you on!
It is a joy to watch someone with passion and determination succeed and fascinating that he has such ‘stick-to it-tuivesness’ about his project no matter which obstacles fly in his path. Wonderful job ! Inspiring! Stay positive!
I swear to the lords of youtube.
This channel is by far exceeding every other channel on youtube. Quality over quantity. If I weren't a poor student I would have donated some money to him by now.
Every other channel is no where near this kind of quality
Hans peter agreed
+Mechros agreed
You're on the wrong part of yt mate, but yh this channel is great
Just promoting another great food channel. The Food Ranger.
You mustn't know many other channels then... Kind of a bold statement to say "every other channel" as well.
"WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY BIG OMLETTE?"
Sure mate, he'll respond to that.
a french man speaking english? very suspicious indeed.
it was so funny when he told gordon if he wants to see his meat xddd
Remember when he made big sausages and tweeted at Oscar Meyer?
I really enjoy the concept of your channel. Pretty smart to combine the sensitive way you approach food and the analysis of the techniques to conquer the impossible. And boy was I celebrating the last omelette with you!
"Do you want to see my big omelette?" Does that line work with the ladies?
In france i guess :D
I’d love to see his big omelette. He’s very hot! 😘😅
@@Liyana333 hello friend...we have great taste or at least want a great dish
with that accent, yes
Skill, you’re awfull but I like you
Vivaldi's Four Season (Winter) was an excellent choice for the triumphant reveal.
Kenmanhl and the editing was flawless !
Kenmanhl lol, I love the piece but I'm curious to know if it's a required accompaniment to anything in excellence
Specifically Max Richter's recomposition of the Allegro from Winter.
Just about to say the same
Gotta love that Four Season swag. Vivaldis music is just awesome. *starts to headbang*
People are like I never need the math they teach me
Alex: *NOT SO FAST*
Boby Heat me too
I tell my students that everything they learn can be useful, even if all it does is give you a perspective on the world. Math, especially things like calculating area or length is incredibly practical-- how else are you going to know how much lumber, carpeting, or paint to buy? Even in my art classes we use math every day!
Alex: hold my omelette
BRILLIANT!!
I’ve been struggling with the JP “perfect omelette” under quarantine for the past week now. You have given me new hope amidst this sea of darkness!
Same! It's infuriating how easy he makes it look. Good to know others are struggling as well
@Nick S Thanks for the advice!
I’ll give it another try.
By default, I think I’ve mastered the soft scrambled egg. I detour into that as I see the omelette failing 🤦🏻♂️😳😆
@Nick S Thanks! I’ll give that a try!
Amazing video! Love it. I tried this omelette myself and failed so many times. I failed just 7 minutes ago and then I found this video. I think I will officially give up until I get a proper pan and use your amazing calculation to make the perfect omelette :)
You are my hero!
Eggscellent !!! This is why I love Alex :D!! Never giving up, always tackling the problem step by step and bringing his audience into the journey. Thank you Alex for yet again an awesome video. Much love all the way from Amsterdam.
who would've thought that the best french channel on youtube is in english
French sounds so bad on the internet.
What do you mean by sounds so bad on the internet ?
alazrabed I'm American (U.S.) and French does not sound bad. Your opinion seems to be rather limited, perhaps you should educate yourself or get a better self esteem before attempting to insult a whole nation's language.
I can see where he's coming from. To me Norwegian sounds awful on the internet. I just watch English-speaking UA-camrs, and any time I hear a Norwegian it makes me cringe. He's not saying French sounds bad, it just sounds bad on the internet (to him).
alazrabed tu dois acheter de meilleurs écouteurs...
I appreciate the passion you put forth to figure out how to crack the secrets to cooking well. Thank you for your work!
This video resonated with me to the pit of my soul. I've been trying for a week and a half and still haven't quite mastered it, but I'm close.
I found it hilarious that you didn't explain the wrist bump. The wrist bump at the end is crucial, but it only makes sense when you're in the thick of it.
I WILL conquer this damn omlette, and I'm for sure going to take a few pointers from this video. Great effort!
Paying homage to the master... respect
Nah! That master I bet can't do the proper sillyness and fix up a Chinese pasta machine to mass produce noodles!
That is the true judgement of a chef!
CMDR Sweeper lol, that’s super nice to say about Alex, but if you know anything about cooking you know two people that deserve respect. Julia Child and Mr. Jacque Pepin
CMDR Sweeper have some respect, there is more to the world than likes and UA-cam.
Wait did I just see you on Linus tech tips ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I like your taste
6:03 best reaction ever LIGHT FLUFFY NOT SEASONED I FORGOT THE SALT......AWWW I FORGOT THE SALT!!!!!
instantly like this video on that reaction
Nothing more satisfying than a b-roll montage with Vilvaldi’s piece “Winter” playing in the background. Just Magnifique! 👌
Great video. I really like your sense of humor, and it is great to show some failures and not only perfect results. And even more: you put math formulas in your videos! Just perfect.
As an amature chef I appreciate that you did this video. The omelet is used as a test because as you pointed out, it takes 12 steps to be executed perfectly and achieve perfection.
The editing on the finale omelette clips are amazing! So much fun to see you improve not only in cooking but also in photography and editing!
Think it was predominantly a jab at Chef's Table. He's got a pretty defined, purposeful style I reckon.
I have nearly perfected this over months and months of practice. I have come back to let you know task accomplished and to thank you for the inspiration. It really is the little things in life
I show that Jacques Pepin video to my students here in Minsk, Belarus. They are in IT, but some are quite interested in cooking. One went home and he tried hard to make the country omelette, but said it was hard and unlike you, he didn`t want to keep trying and doing what with the failures? So he acknowledged it is a legitimate test of one`s skills in the kitchen! Bravo on your final successful classic omelette!
I really don't know where to start,but let me begin with saying THANK YOU. I've been on youtube since the beginning back in '06-'07 and till this day i haven't found any channel which comes close to you. No nonsense,real video's of a passionate guy,doing what he loves. I envy you. Keep up the great work! Greetings !!
Trollero pastramio Your channel was created Sept 2016
you do realize there are things called old accounts, emergency accounts, or even browsing youtube without an account.
Love the direction of storytelling this channel is taking, vast improvements over the past few years!
The channel I love the most. I can learn the exact perfect omlette, meatball, or even find out mayonnaise is a mother sauce. Also have zero clue of how to build a pasta machine from scratch but can see it be done. Best channel ever!
Find someone that love you like the way this guy try to master this omelette, nice content
Congratulations on the video answer from the master himself. I would love to meet him myself. Just to say hello and maybe sail with him on his yacht would be a highlight of my life. I’m 74 years old and have been using his recipes and sharing his food with my friends for many years. I consider him my guru when it comes to the kitchen!
Next you should try the Omurice, famously made by chef Motokichi Yukimura. It's a challenge but I think you could do it. Good luck!!!
Alasdair Smith Kichi Kichi number one!
I agree!
ua-cam.com/video/CT-40H6SbTw/v-deo.html
Just wanted to post that :)).....
Do it! Do it! Do it!
But that particular omrice uses a French omlette which is what he made in this video
Love the videos, the food paired with your personality... perfectly entertaining!
Loved the Chef's table input 🔥
Your editing skills are nuts
It takes patience and ADHD super focus.
Kind of tiresome...
Great editing on this video. The scientific approach is something even Alton Brown would be proud of. I'm sure Monsieur Pepin would approve - even if you don't hear from him. I really enjoyed watching this.
Monsieur Pepin could have made a perfect omelette with the original pan, and without all this "science".
You're watching someone throwing everything at something until it looks like something else. It's interesting but it isn't science.
omg you are amazing as a youtuber, quality content, and u have a little something that makes me feel great... keep doing it this way, you're doing incredible!
man, you’re a f**** genius!!! not just a great cook but also an amazing storyteller and master filmmaker, what an inspiration. thanks.
I love the editing style of your videos. It's actually humorous editing! Very hard to make work - but you make it work!
Amazing omelette! I've always wanted to make the perfect omelette, and this is quite the inspiration. Jacques Pepin is my hero.
I absolutely love how passionate u are about food
You nailed it. I so much enjoy your videos and self deprecating humor!
Love the effort and energy put forth in trying to make this. Took me several tries to get it perfect as well but it's well worth it. Alllez les blues!
I clapped at the end. Well done.
MEME REVIEW
Me too lol.
hahaha I did as well!
Kate lmao that is whiter than clapping when the airplane lands 😂
I don't know the race for what's whiter is pretty close though I have to think peak white is wearing Uggs and drinking a PSL in October while you debate if you're going to be a slutty nurse or a slutty cop for Halloween.
I have mastered this omelette finally after 1 year of practicing everyday.
How's your cholesterol levels lol
@@billjohnson2446 it is a misunderstanding that eating high cholesterol food causes cholesterol.
@@billjohnson2446 High cholesterol is not bad for you
The process and the struggle in this video is the best. Normaly we see: I going to do this - DONE!!! We don't get the struggle and the amount of time and dedication it takes to get good at something entails. Really nice to watch you conquering something you set out to do! big thumbs up
Next challenge, do Omellete rice like Motokichi Yukimura.
That'd what I wanted to say about it. He is awesome.
Omurice next!!!
I thought exactly this during the entire video!
You might want to check out a buzzfeed video about that where Andrew mastered it, not as geeky, but definitely equally determined :)
Yaaaaaaaaas
I dont even like these kind of videos, but this guy makes it just so interesting.
Then u do like them
Died when he said, "I'm not sure if my pan was hot enough, but I am sure that my pan was a sh*t pan."
Rip
A lot of the times I get lost in your formulas, ratio, and the perfections...LOL Always love watching your videos; fun and constructive!
A part of me dies whenever I see someone use a metal fork for on a Teflon pan
A part of me dies whenever I see ANYONE USING A TEFLON PAN. I did use them in my youth and, at first, they seemed a wonderful step up. Soon enough, non-stick became 'less stick.' I went back to being more careful about heating pans and (re)seasoning pans and gently cleaning pans (without using detergent soaps.)
Part of them dies too....from cancer
Israel Del villar.. I too
There are nonstick pans that arne't Teflon
it's not TEFLON you moron
What am i doing here?....A blacksmith watching a french man cooking eggs???.....well i dont care....Wow..just wow!!..i enjoyed that very much. Well done and merci Alex and thank you Alec Steel.........well i never.
Oh my god same!
Kind of.
I came here from Alec as well
A Machinist, (and hobbyist blacksmith), doing the same! (Alec Steel, and This Old Tony sent me in this direction) :D :D :D
Lol, same. I'm also a blacksmith scratching my head on why I'm watching this but hell, I'ma make some friggin omelet now.
You need to eat well to be a good blacksmith, that's why! It's the Google mastermind pointing you to learn to cook better :D
A computer science student here, who will probably have to finally leave the parents' nest, and doesn't know a thing about cooking. And should learn what he can to not starve to death...
Don't be like that dude, food is very big part of our life and learn how to cook is important and it is still better to learn it and use it because eating fast food and shit is not very healthy :)
Alex parcero sos un genio! una personalidad de youtube y definitivamente haces que muchos se sientan identificados con tu trabajo y tus ganas de perfeccionar tu técnica. También nos inspiras a los que somos jóvenes como vos, seguí así, dale!
Just watched. So wonderful as was chef's response.
Dropped a like because of that editing with the last try of the omelette. I honestly thought that it was going to be another fail, but it turned out to be perfect.
Amazing.
👍🤣😂🤣I can relate! I’m laughing so hard because I watched Jacques Pépin’s omelet video a couple of days ago and was on a self induced craze to be his student and try to make the omelet as he did and it was NOT easy to copy what he did at all!! 🤣😂🤣
Thanks for sharing. Lived it. Loved it.💞
Same. I watched his omelet video a week ago.
The final attempt was beautiful. Well done.
I love Jacques. I remember watching his show with my family when I was a kid.
There is a little lady at the Perdido Beach Resort, in the Florida panhandle that could teach omelet making. They have a breakfast buffet and I've seen her with as many as six omelets cooking at one time, all of them perfect.
That buffet runs for about four hours, and she has a line from the moment the door opens.
Great video Alex.
steve thepirate I’ve never had a decent omelette in a restaurant. Clearly I am going to all the wrong restaurants...
I live in pensa. Where in the world is this buffet!?
Alex, I was smiling at the end when you made that beauty, I was like honestly happy for you :D
I love this guy :) He is funny, friendly, no arrogance, respectful and if you watch enough of Jacques Pepin videos Alex maybe on his way to being the chef that follows in Jacques footsteps !!
Love it. I also remember well that classic Jacques Pepin episode which really surprised me. Or was it another one? I remember him making an episode showing 5-6 different traditional French techniques to make an omelette which was a real eye opener.
4:52 - 5:22 in this video is the reason I'm going to sponsor you, Alex! Thank you always for your inspiring videos!
Alex: I'm going to make the perfect omelette!
**watches video**
**makes omelette**
**watches video again**
**cries in French over omelette**
I cheered and literally clapped for you when you finally got there! great video.
I loved this video......and his tenacity. Bravo!
I'm so glad I decided to get up early today- Love your videos Alex!
I learned to do omelettes from watching Jacques Pepin and Julia Child videos, too. It took me a few tries, but I think I found I like doing a kind of rustic french style omelette best. I especially love using leftover creamed spinach as the filling. I love your videos... Keep up the awesome work, dude!
Chris Selig that's where I learned too! I still use my all-clad copper pans to make omelettes tho. They work just fine.
I've never been so happy for someone in my life
what a rollercoaster. love your sense of drama.
I have watched that exact Jacques Pepin video many times and yet whenever I make an omelette it comes out like your first attempt: Too rough, not light and fluffy and creamy. It's good to know that having the right kind of pan makes a difference.
Joonas Puuppo it is obligatory to use a non stick pan.
I'm making hella lots of omelettes in a hotel and when tried it back home in a steel pan i noticed the huge difference.
My Name Is Andong Yep, but the pan is a problem that I can solve by simply throwing money at it whereas the others require skill and experience which comes with time.
Joonas Puuppo yeah, but with time you'll also make up your own style. There is of course no such thing as the perfect omelette, I mean half of Pepins guests would have sent it back for being to raw, also that pandiametermadness is completely open for preference...
It's fun to discuss such a plain subject :)
Good tools make the job go better, there is a reason why mechanics pay the bucks for Snap-on tools. Same with Chefs.
wow chefs use snap-on? Cool, impact driver omelette. Damn, I need to cut this omelette.. Sawzall baby!
Hey! Dude. Loved this episode. The math blew my mind! and I laughed at the Chef's Table reference. I just got hooked on it and it made me laugh. However, I'm an amateur chef, but the one thing I learned from watching Alton Brown is that pans don't like metal. It scratches off the nonstick surface layer called Teflon. Which is why the new pan worked better since it was still on. Using nonmetal utensils will lengthen the life of your pan; wooden or rubber spatulas. Maybe someone already pointed this out. Thought I chimed in. Thanks for all your videos!
I really like your choice music, really makes the video much enjoyable with the mood changes haha
Excellent! Enjoyed your video very much, and you final result looks very appetizing.😎🤙🏼
Came here from Alec Steele channel. Glad I did. That omlete looks perfect I could almost taste it through the technology.
it was him , he started it , YOU STARTED MY RAMEN ADDICTION !!!
Well done Alex , I think I learned as much watching your video as I did watching the Master.
Thank you for this! I watched the Jacques vid and tried everyday for a week, and every day that week I ate scrambled eggs. Bravo!
Alex you have inspired me and my 7 year old son... we bought a new pan and 28 eggs.. we are 2 tries in but your video has definitely helped.. I’ll send you the link for my 7th try ... we will see how it goes
where is it
@@Andre-ld5xu it sucks that you can’t put photos in a UA-cam reply ... I guess I can put it on twitter
@@MrCaseyJohnson Did it come out close?
I'm curious about it too.... I wish you could do that but it's easy enough to link to it on Facebook or something so, that's not too far from posting a pic on UA-cam.
Recently watched this video again (for like the 50th time) and I feel super validated because use that same brand of fry pan.
I love this. I've been through this exact journey, watching 'that' Jacques Pepin video and wondering why I couldn't do what he does, I guess mastery takes more than a few hours of crying about being bad.
Alex's channel if just what I needed to find during this lockdown.
Love the Chef's Table intro music!
You should do the Japanese omurice splitting omelete
it's the same omelette, it's a french omelette !
Your effort, intent and success here are seriously gratifying to watch. My own omelet game has improved since I started using chopsticks instead of whisks and forks. It's easier on my gear and gets just enough air into the mix.
That’s so funny, I literally attempted this omelet just last week and mine stuck just like yours!! 😆 This video has been great therapy, thank you!!
I legit felt so happy when he managed to make the omelette n spin around with him😂😂😂✌️
How many eggs do the French use for an omelette?
One, because in French, one egg, is un oeuf (enough) !
i think I just gagged reading this joke
its si bad its good
UHH
pure geniality :D
FWIW after using the ‘dual action’ of scrambling the eggs while shaking the pan, I figured out that sliding the pan on the stove actually serves two purposes- yes it keeps the whole omelet moving while it’s cooking, but (I think) more importantly it gives you a very good read on exactly how much the eggs are setting up, so how close you are to the not where the eggs will be too cooked to easily shape into the bottom of the pan.
Great result! I'm still working on mastering this one. It does take a lot of practice and since I don't waste food and only eat eggs once a week, it's going to take me a long time to master it.
