Level 1 is the only way to go. Add little American cheese ( yes I said American cheese) and some tomato. That's with the ham. Now I have to go and make an omelette
@@lydiagonzalez2390: Yeah, most people would just make it scrambled rather than an omelet, as Emily said. It's much easier and faster, and tastes about the same.
Gordon Ramsay actually does a lot of the things the pro chef says not to do. 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. Just goes to show there’s no hard rules in cooking only the end result matters.
Level 1 : I’m using a fork Level 2 : I’m using a fork Level 3: I’m using a wisk that I forged from steel myself and patented a circulation swirling method
Food Scientist: both will aerate your eggs equally well. but be sure not to get too wisk happy or you can ruin your eggs. *shows level 3 furiously wisking*
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. Just watch this for 60 seconds: ua-cam.com/video/s10etP1p2bU/v-deo.html
Level 1: A college student trying to impress their friends. Level 2: A BBQ dad you'd find at family events who enjoys cooking and spends way too much time on Facebook looking for recipes. Level 3: A professional chef that Gordon Ramsey would still scream at.
I personally prefer college student level cause I don’t like sautéed veggies and I can’t eat mushrooms. Also it’s so much better with sausage or ham👌👌👌
The Level 3 was terrible. The filling was good but everything else was I mess. I think Lorenzo had a better technic with his eggs. No salt in your eggs before cook it.
Level 3 (for whatever that made up title is worth) may not get screamed at, customers don't pay to listen to chefs screaming out the back, but her plate would not get served. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to eat. I'm just sayin when I was a young chef, id sneak that plate to one of the seagulls working the bar and start again as fast as possible.
@@junghunt8645 if by burnt you mean amazing I agree, I've tried omelette with that level of 'burnt' with bacon and scallions. It's amazing and looks better than Barb's. Barb's has no real source of meat and probably tastes good if you have been a vegetarian for 2 years.
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.
OK can we talk about how at 7:47 the music syncs up perfectly with the young child scientist and for like 10 seconds it sounds like she's 80s-style rapping
If you want the low moisture cheese to melt, you can add whole milk/heavy cream to your egg mixture. This would raise the temp needed to cook the eggs and you should be able to get the cheese to melt
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.
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!
@@PS-jh3in I'm talking bout a folded pocket you would pipe some filling into.. She piped her filling right on it then folded.. Either way it doesnt make much sense
Tyler Nagel it looks like she did that to make the filling more compact so it would fold over better or maybe it’s more complex than that that she’s the chef lol
I swear she is the only level III chef who hadn’t said something like I’ve been cooking for three years straight I’m the best cook of the world. She actually said I’m a level III chef I respect you
I like onion fried with extra virgin olive oil in my omelette and smoked paprika added. The goat cheese was a nice touch, just changing the cheeses you could play with the flavour.
I feel like its bc we simply relate to it more.. the kind of food we're either used to, or want to try. Whereas level 3 is like a whole different level and for fancy rich people lmao
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.
Lorenzo's omelet would be my choice even though he did over cook the eggs a bit. All of his ingredients added flavor to the dish. I eat food for taste not looks. Pretty food is not always the best tasting food.
Rich folks apparently care about "presentation". We common folk (i.e., dregs of society) prefer taste and care little about how it looks on the plate (to a degree). I definitely would eat Lorenzo's omelette and he seems like a cool guy to hang with too. 🙂
@@devinm.6149 Yeah but visual appeal also seems dictated by wealth. Have you seen the butt-ugly furniture they show on "Antique Roadshow". They always get appraised at tens of thousands of dollars. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or the hole of the behinder. Lol! 🤪😂
You eat food for taste but not looks but barb’s doesn’t even look as good as Lorenzo’s…at least make it make sense man. Not to mention you don’t know how her ingredients taste with the omelette. Just another dumb UA-cam comment 😂
@@Jonathan-cz4ky Looks are subjective and based on the eyes of the beholder. Are you insinuating I don't know what Barb's fresh herb mix and mushrooms taste like? What are you my taste buds, bud? And Lorenzo used BACON which sealed the deal for me. Further, the fact you felt the need to post your stupid comment critiquing mine shows just how infantile you are.
Maybe try a very simple recipe 🙂? Egg and butter in a hot non stick pan with a tiny bit of salt. Stir with a lump of cheddar on a fork. The cheese melts into the mix as you stir, and take the pan off the heat when it starts to solidify. (Don't scratch you pan with the fork as your cheese lessens, stir the mix with the fork flat at the end !) Quick and easy to wash up. Eat with your variety of favourite fancy breads containing the herbs and lovely extras you missed out in the cooking process!
Actually I saw a video of Bon appetite with Tiffany Young and they used a piping bag. So I think it just didn't work well for her but that seems to be the technique.
*looks.* the pro chef's always seems the tastiest to me. lorenzo's is always the prettiest to me. the amateur's is always the simple but good one to me.
Defiant Music he has the most interesting personality of the three. But by Jove (archaic and quaint saying, I know), look at his eggs! He over cooked the hell out of those eggs. It’s a shame because he normally cooks solid food.
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).
Cooking is for anyone that loves to eat. If what you cook makes you happy then there is no wrong way to make it. That being said, barb’s omelette is the way I learned how to make an omelette in culinary school and it’s how I make omelettes for my family. Bon appetite everyone!
I thought Barb had plenty of passion. She looked completely confident and in her element. And I wouldn't think that she'd pursue cooking as a profession without passion tho...
At the end of the day this is personal preference as anyone will have grown up with a family omlette recipe. If anyone is interested here's mine : - 2,3 eggs - salt and pepper - salted butter or oil - dill - smidge of paprika powder - small pieces of ham or other prefered meat - peppers - cheddar or similar cheese Break the eggs and mix them a little bit , add dill , paprika, salt and pepper then mix everything together. The paprika will give it an orangey colour. Warm up the butter or the oil , as it's heating , put the mixture in and spread it around uniformly. Add the bits of meat and cover with a lid. The lid will keep the heat from escaping and it will cook the top. As I like my omlettes well done on both sides i usually flip it (with a plate). I drizzle a little bit of cheddar or parmegiano and transfer to plate. Good Observations : Spring onion or chives are good , but these things are not stuff that you'll always have on hand for an omlette. Bad Observations : Putting mushrooms in an omlette is like putting pineapple on pizza , not for me.
It's all preference. Yeah you might like the french omelete but others may like Lorenzo's. It's all down to palete preference, so quit being pissbabies.
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.
You were critiquing the technique of someone while they were cooking. That was likely taken as insult, hence the response. She wasn't shutting her mind to new ideas, she was responding to someone telling her "you're doing it wrong."
Pulse don't flip it? Lower heat and covering it with a lid will cook it all the way thru or you can do what level 3 chef did to make sure it's evenly cooked.
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!
John Doe I don’t think they’re flexing- They’re just kinda sharing their experience. Except for that dude in the Pizza Video- he is not my frickin type
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.
I gave up trying to fold my omelets a long time ago. I now just cut them and layer one half more or less on top of the other. My cooking is a cross between Emily's and Lorenzo's styles. Yes to bacon and cheddar cheese (the sharper the better), but I'm more likely to garnish with salsa and a dab of sour cream than hot sauce. I loved how all three omelets looked delicious.
No hate on this particular guy. But level 2 chefs are the *WORST.* I've worked for a bunch and they all think they're level 3 chefs, but have no idea how to run a kitchen or a business.
Excellent. The format of the video allows me to choose techniques from all three levels. I'm a level 1 or 2 most days. But on special mornings, I can see roasting my fillings ala level 4. Thanks for the video.
Think of it this way... level one is like you cooking, level two is someone who owns/works at a family restaurant, and level three is your fancy restaurant (where you gotta dress up).
Level 1:I buy eggs from the grocery store Level 2:I buy eggs from my Uncle’s farm Level 3: *As a chef I like to lay my own eggs* Edit: OMG TYSM FOR ALL THE LIKES
Level 1: I just buy the egg at the grocery shop Level 2: I used organic egg fresh from the farm Level 3: *I've traveled into the dark abyss and slain the colossal dragon with my whisk to retrieve the forbidden eggs*
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.
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.
@@jcukier2 I didn't even know about the diner style omelett until I saw the video😂 I always made them the french way (maybe because I live relatively near) and I'm pretty happy about that, after tasting the diner style one. PS: Not saying one is bad though, I just prefer the other.
If these were options on a menu I would choose Barb's simply because French Omelette takes so much technique I fail every time I try making it 😂 Lorenzo's is something I can learn to do
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.
Maybe she wanted to pack all the mushrooms and goat cheese more firmly in? Can't think of any other reason tbh too. Nonetheless, without or with it, the mixture sounds good.
My hubby makes us omelete every Sunday for brekkie and he part cooks it in the flat pan and then for the second half puts it under the hot grill, it makes it the fluffiest omelet in the world EVERYTIME !!! I cant believe these chefs didnt put theirs under the grill, it is a must for me ....Icook mushrooms at the same time and add salt, pepper and worcestor sauce and then add them into the omelete before he folds it over, perfection ...
God bless Emily. She’s always game for these challenges even though she knows that she’ll somehow place 5th when there’s only 3 contestants.

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.
No offense dude but you’re not even making an omelette at that point. More like an egg pancake 🥞 haha 😛
@@trevor_corey8037 it's honestly more of a stuffed souffle.
@@MarkNobleUS that’s what I thought originally but then you said browning on both sides.

Lorenzo's omelet would be my choice even though he did over cook the eggs a bit. All of his ingredients added flavor to the dish.
I eat food for taste not looks.
Pretty food is not always the best tasting food.
Rich folks apparently care about "presentation". We common folk (i.e., dregs of society) prefer taste and care little about how it looks on the plate (to a degree). I definitely would eat Lorenzo's omelette and he seems like a cool guy to hang with too. 🙂
Barb's was the ugliest imo
@@devinm.6149 Yeah but visual appeal also seems dictated by wealth. Have you seen the butt-ugly furniture they show on "Antique Roadshow". They always get appraised at tens of thousands of dollars. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or the hole of the behinder. Lol! 🤪😂
You eat food for taste but not looks but barb’s doesn’t even look as good as Lorenzo’s…at least make it make sense man. Not to mention you don’t know how her ingredients taste with the omelette. Just another dumb UA-cam comment 😂
@@Jonathan-cz4ky Looks are subjective and based on the eyes of the beholder.
Are you insinuating I don't know what Barb's fresh herb mix and mushrooms taste like? What are you my taste buds, bud? And Lorenzo used BACON which sealed the deal for me.
Further, the fact you felt the need to post your stupid comment critiquing mine shows just how infantile you are.

Maybe try a very simple recipe 🙂?
Egg and butter in a hot non stick pan with a tiny bit of salt.
Stir with a lump of cheddar on a fork.
The cheese melts into the mix as you stir, and take the pan off the heat when it starts to solidify.
(Don't scratch you pan with the fork as your cheese lessens, stir the mix with the fork flat at the end !)
Quick and easy to wash up. Eat with your variety of favourite fancy breads containing the herbs and lovely extras you missed out in the cooking process!
That level 3 chef only used a piping bag to flex, it clearly didn’t work better than a spoon
Thank god someone said it.
Yes it was a mess
Honestly I don't find the level 3 chefs here all that amazing im surprised how everyone is reacting to the mediocre skills of these level 3 chefs
Actually I saw a video of Bon appetite with Tiffany Young and they used a piping bag. So I think it just didn't work well for her but that seems to be the technique.

Defiant Music he has the most interesting personality of the three. But by Jove (archaic and quaint saying, I know), look at his eggs! He over cooked the hell out of those eggs. It’s a shame because he normally cooks solid food.
Jonathan Norman well I guess he just made a mistake or possibly he likes overdone eggs? Personally sometimes I like over cooked eggs
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).
So I did an omelet the way chef 3 did and it was the best omelet I've ever taste. Man, I didn't know two eggs with milk and cheese could taste so good

Cooking is for anyone that loves to eat. If what you cook makes you happy then there is no wrong way to make it. That being said, barb’s omelette is the way I learned how to make an omelette in culinary school and it’s how I make omelettes for my family. Bon appetite everyone!

Lorenzo is the best because he makes his food with passion.
Taste is not lie,even if u cook with passion.Lorenzo omelette looks good,but omelett level 3 is better.My opinion
Because he is a man and not a woman?
I thought Barb had plenty of passion. She looked completely confident and in her element. And I wouldn't think that she'd pursue cooking as a profession without passion tho...
He is. He's got such a positive energy too.
Butt Monkey, imagine getting pissed at someone who is doing their job professionally.
I have always loved the French Omelet. Whisking vigorously is essential. I like mine over a lower heat.
looks like Frank was too busy raising his cow from the last episode to appear on this episode

lorenzo is the viewer's happiness.
80% of Lorenzo's recipes have bacon and cheddar in them. Of course if you put cheddar and bacon everything will taste good.
A Level 1 chef has not yet acquired this forbidden wisdom.
Don’t hate on lorenzo
Reminds me of Iron Chef. Remember how the Iron Chefs always put truffles and foie gras in their dishes?
How about a cake 🤔
David Bohrer is that a bad thing?
At the end of the day this is personal preference as anyone will have grown up with a family omlette recipe.
If anyone is interested here's mine :
- 2,3 eggs
- salt and pepper
- salted butter or oil
- dill
- smidge of paprika powder
- small pieces of ham or other prefered meat
- peppers
- cheddar or similar cheese
Break the eggs and mix them a little bit , add dill , paprika, salt and pepper then mix everything together. The paprika will give it an orangey colour.
Warm up the butter or the oil , as it's heating , put the mixture in and spread it around uniformly. Add the bits of meat and cover with a lid.
The lid will keep the heat from escaping and it will cook the top. As I like my omlettes well done on both sides i usually flip it (with a plate). I drizzle a little bit of cheddar or parmegiano and transfer to plate.
Good Observations : Spring onion or chives are good , but these things are not stuff that you'll always have on hand for an omlette.
Bad Observations : Putting mushrooms in an omlette is like putting pineapple on pizza , not for me.
Lorenzo wins. For a start, his omelette looks like something I'd actually want to eat.
It's burnt though.
looks pretty overcooked bruh
Yall really saying you wouldn’t eat lorenzos omelet 😤
It's all preference. Yeah you might like the french omelete but others may like Lorenzo's. It's all down to palete preference, so quit being pissbabies.
Look man I just want the bacon
TBH I can't look at Emily the same after the French toast video.
That video gave me the honest impression that she has a big food related issues. It was just monstrous.
She put ketchup on her French toast, that’s why
"And I use ketchup, because.. I'm a monster."
Naomi Tanizar she is a monster (her words) that puts ketchup on her French toast. But it was a really good video.
**Emily cries in dark room where she ate the French toast with ketchup**
Barb: Were just gonna add a little bit of herbs
Also Barb: *Proceeds to put the whole forest in*
I legit want to try her omelette it looks good and healthy.
Yet she didn't even use a 1/3 of what she chopped up. Weird
Yes her omelette looks so delicious lol
I think you need to leave a little room for the egg flavor. Otherwise why bother making an omelet!
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.
You were critiquing the technique of someone while they were cooking. That was likely taken as insult, hence the response. She wasn't shutting her mind to new ideas, she was responding to someone telling her "you're doing it wrong."
Lorenzo is just a lvl 3 chef who hasn't been to culinary school.
@@thismessismine Agree to disagree i guess.
Level 2 is a hobbiest/enthusiast, while level 3 is a professional.
Level 2 is just cooking learned from experience rather then from culinary school
Is he a Pinoy? Normally Pinoys tend to sound very loud and boastful.
Another level 2 who surpass level 3 is the pancakes. The granny's ones looked so yummy!!
Level 0 Omelet: > Time to flip ... aaand scrambled eggs!
Pulse don't flip it? Lower heat and covering it with a lid will cook it all the way thru or you can do what level 3 chef did to make sure it's evenly cooked.

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!
“It’s been a while since I made an omelette because usually I just give in and make scrambled eggs with stuff in them.” Wow. Jah definitely feel.

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.

I gave up trying to fold my omelets a long time ago. I now just cut them and layer one half more or less on top of the other. My cooking is a cross between Emily's and Lorenzo's styles. Yes to bacon and cheddar cheese (the sharper the better), but I'm more likely to garnish with salsa and a dab of sour cream than hot sauce. I loved how all three omelets looked delicious.
I actually really like how the level 3 chef cooks her omelet and I started doing that and now my omelets turn out so much better!
Lorenzo might be a level 2 chef BUT HIS PERSONALITY A LEVEL 7
No hate on this particular guy. But level 2 chefs are the *WORST.* I've worked for a bunch and they all think they're level 3 chefs, but have no idea how to run a kitchen or a business.
So are these so called levels just free- balling their skills or is something quantifiable?

you *WHAT!*
Oh look, an original comment!
Level 3: always looks weird
Level 1: To basic
Level 2: Everything we ever wanted
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.
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.
@Alvaro Chavarria Ok, thank you.
@@jcukier2 I didn't even know about the diner style omelett until I saw the video😂 I always made them the french way (maybe because I live relatively near) and I'm pretty happy about that, after tasting the diner style one.

@Elijah ASMR where is there any irony when he says the level three one looks too weird...?

And level 4 is my mom when she is judging my food
So much true... Level 3 was the omelet I wanna achieve doing and Lorenzo's style of outlet matches when I just want an heartful omelet for myself...
If these were options on a menu I would choose Barb's simply because French Omelette takes so much technique I fail every time I try making it 😂 Lorenzo's is something I can learn to do
I made the french omelett on my first try #GodlyNoob
Did you really need the piping bag for that lol?
Ridiculously overrated cooking style
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.
@@TheAgentAssassin I watched Ramsay's video too and I didn't see him wasting any piping bags
Chefs are pretty blind to their plastic usage
Maybe she wanted to pack all the mushrooms and goat cheese more firmly in? Can't think of any other reason tbh too. Nonetheless, without or with it, the mixture sounds good.
