    YES! Finally someone adds that little bit of water that makes the difference. It produces a small bit of steam that helps the eggs not to stick to the pan and just "floats" them out of it. It also helps them "puff up" a bit and be lighter.
    AND! She's right about the clarified butter as well. It's much harder to burn, prevents the eggs from sticking better than anything else and tastes great. The only exception to this is the country omelette where you want some browning on the bottom. If you want a more buttery taste to the classic omelette, a bit more whole butter can be added right at the end. Her technique is absolutely brilliant, I've got to try this.

      @@kinglear5952 well, I’m no Christine Cushing, but my take on her technique is
      1. Season a NOT non-stick pan, i e, rub it down lightly with some oil on a paper towel
      2. Keep shaking the pan, for that fluffy result, helping the folds to develop and so facilitate light, aerated cooking
      3. Proof of a successful omelette is that “baveuse” result, which she describes as ‘soupy’

I just threw away a crumbling Teflon pan but my attempt to make an omelette in a stainless pan produced a leathery and detestable result. I know that cooking eggs in a stainless steel pan at to low a temperature causes them to stick while too hot and it is burnt, unpleasantly leathery and not 'baveuse' in the slightest.

    I first learned to make a classic French omelette by watching Pépin’s videos. Unlike Pépin’s non-stick, I use an All-Clad MasterChef pan which I have had for more than 30 years. When I first learned, I paid special attention to making sure the pan was seasoned. I had great beginner’s luck. Eventually, however, my results have not been quite up to my expectations.
    Recently, I have failed to execute the technique properly and my omelettes have been sticking. I came here for a refresher. After watching one of Pépin’s many omelette videos (but not of the classic technique I was looking for), your video popped up and I decided to watch based solely on your choice of pan. I am glad I did.
    I think this is an excellent video. It reminded me that I probably needed to reseason my pan. After three decades, my pan’s surface has various nicks and divots. But I scoured it and reseasoned with some avocado oil.
    I even tried your forkless swirl technique, but as I watched the egg stick to the side I made a hasty retreat and reached for my trusty fork, reverting to my recollection of Pépin’s technique. The cooked egg demolded easily from the side and I managed a nice omelette without any egg stuck to the pan.
    I wonder if I did not have my pan quite hot enough for a forkless effort, so I will experiment with your technique again.
    I am intrigued by your introduction of the “magic” ingredient of a splash of H2O. What purpose does this serve? How does it work? If I could offer any advice about improving an otherwise excellent video, it would be to address this.
    Nice work. I will look for other videos by you.

      Thank you so much for watching and your attention to all the details. It’s such a complex topic and glad you appreciate the s/s omelette. The water loosens the egg slightly creating a more tender texture. Yes the heat has to be high to get the no fork technique . Keep on spinning those omelettes. See you back in the kitchen

      You demonstrate what works for you, but you don't explain much. How do you know your eggs are beaten sufficiently? When cooking, how do you know they're done? Yours were shiny on the top, many people like them to be more dry. Can you go longer at that heat level? Etc. Lovely video, but there are more instructional, educational ones out there. This is my opinion right now, because I am still seeking out that sweet spot between my pan, my new cooktop, added egg volume, butter temperature, hand/tool technique and cook time.....

Since you gave me a tip, let me share one of mine with you: Instead of using a mixing bowl to beat your eggs, next time you make an omelette try using a tall water glass. Just a standard pint glass or something similar. It makes it much easier and faster. Thanks again!

It's done in just a few seconds and I like how it looks a bit better than hers (smaller curds), but It's always a perfect nonstick release from the stainless when i do it this way. And zero browning. Looks pristine and traditional. I give christine all the credit to teaching me the secret. The temp is key! add the eggs when the butter just starts to brown!!

    • @ChristineCushing
      @ChristineCushing  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you . Once I drop the eggs in I do lower the heat slightly but still keep it at medium high, while swirling. The key to keep it in motion so it doesn't colour but firms up. It takes a bit of practice.

  • @MrAntiKnowledge
    @MrAntiKnowledge 5 лет назад +4

    I was just making omlette last week and my sister was making remarks on how I moved the egg around immediatly after putting it in the (hot) pan.
    Or folded it while its still liquid on top and general backseat cooking (kinda annoying hearing that from someone whose cooking skills are barely above boiling pasta).
    Long story short, my nephew saw my near perfect omlette and being the egg fan that he is requested that as his dinner.
    Was fun to watch her face of realization when she did a couple omlette no-no's and hers turned out terribly :P
    (Sorry nephew, I'll make you one next time)
    Didn't know about the water trick. Will try that next time.

    I just came across your channel today.
    When I was first trying to get the French omelette down, the best advice I got was don't try this without a non-stick pan if you're a beginner and don't spend much on the pan because none of them remain non-stick for very long.
    I watched your video on making steel pans non-stick with onion which led me to this one. Watching your swirl technique and the thought of being able to use my 8" steel and copper pan have renewed my hope for making French omelettes regularly without it being so hard.
    Much respect, I'll let you know how it goes.

    • @ChristineCushing
      @ChristineCushing  Год назад

      I'm glad you found my channel. It does take some practice but this omelette technique makes the best texture with a fluffy , just cooked egg. The non-stick pan yields a completely different kind of omelette that I'm not a fan of . I hope you try it and let me know how it goes. The key is to keep the pan in motion, once you drop the egg in and then lower the heat slightly so it doesnt' brown. I know so may details. Good luck
