  • We challenged chefs of three different levels - an amateur, a home cook and a professional chef - to make their versions of an omelet. And then we brought in a food scientist to review their work. Which omelet was the best?
    Check out the professional's recipe here on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/french-omele...

He cracks eggs one handed in the mixing bowl, doesn’t add salt until the last second, throws ingredients including cheddar inside… yet still looks awesome.

    So inspiring! I’ve been cooking for many years, yet always struggled with omelets, particularly when it came time to flipping or turning the omelet, they would always tear apart. Whisking in a bowl properly and using the salt made all the difference. Today I made a French omelette and an American omelette and they both turned out beautifully!
    Thank you so much for this amazing video!

  • @pookatim
    @pookatim Рік тому +37

    When I cook omelets, I usually saute the vegetables then add the mixed eggs into the same skillet. I don't cook it brown or stir it around but rather flip it then add the cheese, fold it, remove from heat, cover with a lid for a minute before plating. The omelet is cooked without being brown and the cheese is melted. Whether or I fold it in half or make it into a tube depends on the amount of filling. A lot of filling, fold. Not so much filling then fold one third and compete the fold as I plate it making the tube style. I do not like browned eggs. As far as using a piping bag, in my opinion that adds unnecessary complexity to the process.

      You should actually start Omlettes the way you make scrambled eggs, keep pulling the mixture around (make 4 lines into a cross pulling from the outside to the inside). But when it's like 2/3 done that's when you just leave it alone, add your mix and then fold it over itself. For some reason many people think you pour an omlette in and leave it alone until it's time to flip, and then it's burnt or falls apart.

  • @MrSteve280
    @MrSteve280 Рік тому +5

    Such a good video. I make a pretty good omelet, but it can get a little liquidy with some fillings. Now I know why. But I really like the Level 3 omelet. My dad used to slow/soft cook his scrambled eggs and they were wonderful. Now I know why. All that said, I use a step which no one here did. I cook the omelet on low heat and, after adding my usual filling of tomatoes, shredded cheddar, and diced green pepper or onion, I place a lid on the pan to evenly cook the eggs and melt/warm in the filling (checking often so as not to overcook).

  • @MarkNobleUS
    @MarkNobleUS Рік тому +13

    I grew up making these "diner style" I guess - but the step they all seemed to skip (that I think is a MUST) is to cut the heat, add a lid with a decent seal, and let the omelet puff up and become fluffy - so you're going to want to incorporate a decent amount of air when incorporating the eggs. You might even want to flip it about half-way through the rest to ensure even browning on both sides.
    While this happens, I usually make some toast or something for a nice omelet sandwich and it gives any cheese some time to melt so it's gooey when cut in half. I don't seem to see this approach used in restaurants so it's an added benefit of DIY omelets.

    Outstanding video that covers many aspects of making an omelet, but by no means all. It's not hard to find videos that tell you to absolutely not pre-mix salt into your eggs, or not to stir the eggs while they are cooking, etc.
    Every video I have watched today shows people using non-stick skillets. Properly seasoned cast iron is my personal preference. because nothing will stick to it, and it distributes heat very evenly.
    My own style is drifting toward traditional French.
    Thanks for the video, Epicurious.

      L R one thing I have learnt early after moving out and started cooking seriously is how to make my food look *really* good. It helps increasing the appetite, and also makes good Instagram photo. But “looking good” doesn’t mean actually tasting good. It’s just something we amateur chef enjoy doing and it boosts our confidence.

    I'm definitely a level one chef. My mom was too busy working to teach me anything about housework and assumed my much-older sisters would teach me how to cook and do laundry. Nope! I learned to cook after going to college, by watching UA-cam, haha! Starting in 2017, I was roommates with a guy who was a former country club chef, and he taught me "level 3" style of cooking an omelet. I still haven't mastered that French fold, but his advice really upped my cooking skills. I dare say, I now cook an omelet that's better than anything my sisters made!

    I was a hack at cooking all my life. When covid hit and you couldn't safely go out, I started learning to cook. About the only time I went out was to buy groceries. Anyhoodle, I discovered Americas Test Kitchen and decided to learn from them. All my life I cracked eggs on the edge of the bowl but ATK taught me that cracking them on a flat surface (like Barb the pro did) gave less of a chance of getting shells in the eggs. Then opening the egg over a separate bowl as Lorenzo did assured you wouldn't get shells in the eggs. That's what I started doing and in the last two years, I've had to pick shells out of the small bowl about three times. When I tried to explain this to a friend's daughter who was making eggs, she said "I've been cracking them on the edge of the bowl my whole life and that's how I do it." It's sad when people shut their mind to new ideas.

    I mix shredded kale and/or dandelion greens, grated cheese, fresh basil and parsley, and two beaten eggs (with salt & pepper), dumped into pan lubricated with bacon grease. On LOW heat (because I'm not in a hurry), I cover the pan and let it cook. When condensation runs off of the lid and sizzles into the pan, the steam helps lift the eggs from the pan while signalling that it's done. (If it browns, I've waited too long.)

    Also pan and heating element like gas, ele, food truck, camping. ...
    Anyway,,,good job, keep up the good work...

      @unplayednamer0165 3 роки тому +440

      tbh I want to try most of the level three ones, the only reason why so many people say they're weird is just, because they are not used to it, it's the same with high kitchen and molecular kitchen (I don't know the english terms), many people just judge them without ever trying them. And that they make small portion is because they are used to it, in higher class Restaurant you normally serve many different small meals instead of one big meal, the price is not too high in most cases if you look at what it costs to make your dish. But yes, if you don't care THAT much about taste it wont be worth it going there and spending that much money.

    • @jcukier2

      I have done it in the Level 3 style lately, but I use 4 eggs, cheddar cheese, and ham instead...the technique is the same, and it's fantastic. They're super fluffy, moist, and delicious. The 1st time, I got nervous since they look extremely similar to scrambled eggs right before you flatten them out, but that's normal. It'll eventually stick together & form a nice omelette. I'll never go back to the Level 1 way.

      Let me challenge all of you commenters.
      The next time you make eggs , stir them constantly over very low heat pulling the pan off the heat and back to the heat , NEVER stop stirring , your arm should be tired , it's worth it.
      When the eggs are fully cooked they should be very soft light and fluffy , yet fully cooked.
      I guarantee you will never ever eat eggs any other way again.

    Simple way to cook an omelet very fast at home (and I graduated from Culinary School).
    Place your pan on the stove, preheat the pan on medium low to medium. Before you pour beaten eggs into the preheated pan, start your oven's broiler on low. Pouring your eggs into the pan, you should not hear much in terms of sizzling. Let the egg mixture rest in the warm pan, and count to 120 seconds (2min). Pull the pan off of the heat. The bottom should be formed/hardened. Now, take your spatula and run it around the edge of the eggs to "Break the seal" of the egg to the pan, this will allow easier removal at the end. Now take your pan and place it on the top rack of your oven, just beneath the broiler cooking on low (assuming that your pan is oven safe). This method of heating, can really expedite the breakdown of proteins, and the egg will begin to rise as it is cooked from the residual temperature in the bottom of the pan, along with the heat from the broiler above. Check the pan every 10-15 seconds until the eggs look to be ~75%-80% set up, the eggs will continue to cook as you fill that baby up. Remove from the oven, and place your toppings at one side of the "half" mark of your omelet. Now, as Barb did, roll 1/3 of the omelet over, followed by rolling it again on to a plate. Ta-Da! An omelet cooked in less than 4 minutes. They really are easy to cook. After cooking these a few times to understand how your stove/oven will work with this at home, now you can start to change up your omelet game as you get better and better.
    Note: if you don't want eggs very fluffy, you can initially cook the omelet like Lorenzo did, and you can pull the edges of cooked egg towards the center, and either tilting the pan or using your spatula to push the liquid egg towards the outside for the first 2-3 mintues.
    ENJOY!!!
