Why would I want to?

>>16689816
That looks like something that would be dredged up from a cruise liner, like the love boat. That thing needs barnicles.

Yes but mine is a lot browner than that and has bits of corn instead

The greatest culinary technique filter has caught a few I see.

>>16689816
Of course I can. It's not very difficult.

Yeah and it has gotten me many bee jays but you gotta show the pepin video where he laughs at American omelettes

>>16690020
You're seeing things. He doesn't think one is better than the other.

i did to get certified but i dont enjoy them so i havent made one since

>>16689816
I can roll it OK, but it's always best a tad too overcooked. Been getting better though, soon I hope I will perfect it

>>16690025
>>16690020
who is he? why does this place feel so strange right now like everyone has titled the threads something i can't see or soemthing. to op, if you can't you probably also can't flip an egg, in which case, gtfo the kitchen slut

>>16689816
Yeah. A few years ago I taught myself how to do it by making one every other day for a few months. I haven't made one in a long time. I got pretty sick of eating them.

>>16690061
Are you retarded. You specifically invoked the name Pepin in your post. the anon that replied to you would say "he" to reference pepin. as in:

>Pepin doesn't think one [style of omelet] is better than the other

>>16690061
He’s this Japanese dude with a knife with a broken tip that he cuts up your omelette…they laugh at the gaijin constantly because two of their cities got obliterated by Some nuclear bombs consctructed by Jews saved from the concentration camps in nazi Germany and dropped on the nips by American bomber pilots who suffered like an 85% mortality rate where they would pressure wash the planes after missions…anyway a delicate omelette is tricky business and if it has a tinge of brown you might as well be a cuck old nigger loving American

>>16690059
Opposite for me, I cook it perfectly but always fuck up the roll, eventually gave up and I just do the regular American fold over.

>>16689816
Yes and friendly reminder that if you can't cook this style of omelette you are a cooklet and every opinion you have on food is disregarded and you are worthless and unworthy of love

I don't like chicken periods.
Especially not undercooked chicken periods.

>>16689816
yes, its not difficult just requires a very non stick pan and plenty of butter

I haven't been able to do them properly since I moved and got an induction plate. My pan isn't flat too. I liked them with harissa and a little soy sauce beaten in.

>>16689816
>>16689816
I've done it but it's not that smooth.

one of the first things i mastered was a good omelette. When making it for friends and family and having them rave about it is what sparked my love for cooking. Something about it pleasing other people rather than me liking it gives me a pleasure.

>>16691027
Dumb Californian.

>>16690877
Things like this is why you use gas.

>>16691072
I wish you could give me pleasure

>>16689816
I used to work at a hotel and all of our food was boil in bag so of course I can make it

How could you not make it, jesus ?
It's one of the basics. It doesn't even cost much to make.
If you struggle, just try it over and over again. Get a silicon spatula, it helps.

>>16690025
>He doesn't think one is better than the other.
He's just being polite and you fell for it haha.

>>16690877
The heat is in the pan... If we are going off Pepin's video as a reference, he is using a heavy bottom non stick pan where heat stays in the pan so when you fiddle around with it and shit you don't need to be adding constant heat.

The real secret is to just have a non stick pan that hasn't been abused with high heat and scratched to shit.

>>16691539
but pépin did it in a cave with a box of scraps and a fork

>>16691568
you ain't pépin so just don't ruin your pan with a goddamn fork and use a silicon spatula

>>16689816
never tried. don't really care to since I just like making cheap meals for myself.

I can make it. I watched the Pepin vids and almost every day throughout 2020 I made one.

>>16691539
a cheap nonstick works but a nice one is next level. Reminder 8" pan = 3 eggs 9.5-10 = 4 eggs

>>16691939
you don't have to make it as smooth as him, just don't burn it, which seems a big problem for many people

>>16691956
i have an IR thermometer. 375f and no hotter in the pan is about the right temp. The butter foams but doesn't brown and it takes like 15-20 seconds to cook. It can be done much lower and you can go more slowly, but theres something superior about doing it fast. The fold is the tougher part, but ive found that only clearing the sides once or twice at the very beginning and letting the edges cook just a little more than the rest makes it much easier. And Pepin making the wet stuff pool to the outside before flipping the first side to the middle is a vital important step.

>>16690861
>chicken periods
Oh stop. It is an unfertilized egg.

i use the chef john method

>>16692590
It's the excreted fluids in which an embryo would have grown if the egg was fertilized.
aka periods.

>>16692603
Even so, what is wrong with that? Human periods are smelly and gross. Eggs arent.

>>16692610
>Eggs arent
they are tho. snot consistency, smells and tastes like shit. There's nothing redeemable about eggs.

>>16689816
>Can you make it?
I and pretty much any other person "can" make any food item, its not fucking mechanical engineering or rocket science the most complicated food gets is some basic technique some coordinatively challenged people might have to practice a few times
Would I make it?
Country style omelets are superior in every way to french "omelette's" and no one who's not a frog fart sniffer would ever have interest in preparing a naturally inferior dish

>>16692624
If you say so. I like them over medium.>>16692632

>>16692632
What is superior about country style omelets?

>>16692634
you can still make a country omelet that's wet on the inside, but fillings and a browned exterior are inarguably a better food experience than some floppy egg and butter roll up

>>16692640
as I said in >>16692634, fillings and maillard browning create an objectively fuller food
Frogs pretend people wanna taste "the freshness of the eggs" or the "pureness of the butter" as an excuse to server people objectively tasteless and inferior dishes and hide behind "muh technique muh skill" to make it out to be better than it really is

>>16692598
Best one, same here

>>16689816
Yeah, but I still prefer scrambled eggs.

>>16692654
Every single one of your opinions is objectively wrong for the simple reason you have obvious signs of being a turbo faggot with severe mental impairment.

>>16692643
>browned exterior
I hate eggs when then are browned because they start to taste and smell sulphuric.

>>16692643
>>16692654
Based

>>16692654
hide behind technique? hiding from what?

>>16692598
i use the thomas keller method.

>>16692643
>browned exterior
