I could watch Ben teach about cooking all day long without taking a break. He explains things so nicely and with great passion that just makes me want to get up and just cook things. Thanks

[@AnnabelSmyth]

I agree. Keep these videos coming. I don't always agree with him (in what POSSIBLE universe is it quicker to faff about with a microplane grater than to use a garlic crusher? And what's wrong with using a lemon squeezer?), but I have definitely learnt stuff.

Quick tip regarding cracking eggs. If you’ve don’t want to risk splitting the yolk (fried eggs for example) you are better off cracking the egg on a flat surface. That way no shell can pierce the yolk

That's no small thing.

[@The_King_of_Chefs]

I like that Ben browns his eggs (lets them get brown I mean), because in a traditional French omelette you don't let it get any color. I prefer them browned because like he said, more flavor and it takes less time, which is always a plus. My personal favorite is mushroom and cheese. Always a pleasure to see more Sorted, and I love Ben especially. Everyone else is amazing as well and I hope they're all doing alright. Have a great day guys.

So this is an old French myth. Ramsey is classically french trained and not immune to mistakes. My favorite example is when he went nuts over a grilled salad on an episode of kitchen nightmares. A dish that isnt too far fetched anymore. Eggs dont break down from salt. Not in a few seconds. So on this hes wrong.

I had a dream the other night after watching sorted before bed that I took part in an ultimate battle. We got to choose from a range of pre-packaged desserts and we had to try to level them up whilst still using the original dessert. I got an ice cream sandwich with oreo ice cream. I added coffee to the ice cream, which was a good idea. Next, I fried up some mini chorizo and deglazed the pan with red wine, then added loads of sugar to make a syrupy sauce, and added it all on top of the ice cream sandwich. I dont know what I was thinking. I woke up before voting commenced, but I'm pretty sure I still would've beaten Barry.

[@bena7388]

I always had trouble with getting the non-egg ingredients into the omelette because using the wet bit of a tomato etc made it far too liquid and more like scrambled eggs, but watching this the penny has finally dropped lol

[@annab6726]

Scrape out all the wet seedy part of the tomato and just use the flesh. It shouldn't make the omelette too liquidy then.

I take it out but then eat the wet bits out of a bowl. Using grape tomatoes halved also works because they are much less juicy.

We make Indian-style omelets which are a bit different. We lightly whisk the eggs in a bowl, and add salt, pepper, onions, green chili, tomato, optional garlic right into the bowl with the eggs and mix it all together so all the flavors are incorporated, rather than separate. Then we fry it on the pan, keeping it fairly thin and crispy (not like a frittata), and flip the whole thing over to fry on the other side. Serve it with buttered, toasted bread, heated on the same pan after the omelet is done - my absolute favorite way to have an omelet! :)

Because they cook really fast, we stir fry the chopped shrimp in olive oil with thinly sliced chilli then add the egg mixture. Sometimes we add chilli oil with dried shrimp into the egg mixture first to spice it up. Really really delicious with rice. It’s more of a side dish, but it adds one to the table.

You can put the omelette on a bed of mixed spring lettuces too, or a bed of rice of some sort, or some pasta. On toast, in a sandwich. Love the versatility of omelettes.

I do love leftover omelette. I usually put some diced onion and mushrooms that i cook in the pan quickly and just pour the egg over it, herbs and cheese afterwards. Love the new style of videos and I can't wait for more!

I like watching Ebbers cook, he's so calm and tidy. 😊

I didn't know how much I really needed this until knowing how much I really need this. LOVE YOU EBBERS 😍

I have never successfully made an omelette before. Something always goes wrong, and I ended up with poorly scrambled eggs with toppings. But I watched this video last night, and actually made one this morning for breakfast! The method was so easy I didn’t even need to rewatch the video. Thanks guys!

Love omelettes and I love frittatas! I usually don't order them in restaurants because they are so easy to make! If you want it a little fluffy, add a little water into your bowl of eggs before whisking. If you want them a little creamy, add a little milk before whisking.

My brother loved frozen peas because he loved the sense of them popping between his teeth. Wish he was still with us so I could make a pea and panchetta omlette. Thank you, Ben! ❤
