Make sure to use that Metal fork on the teflon ladies and gents. I personally enjoy a wee bit of teflon into my omlet's, my naturopath told me it strengthens my immune system. I rarely get sick as a result.

[@busTedOaS]

he was just using it lightly. it's not like he was scraping the pan hard. it's absolutely fine.

[@DerUserYT]

nonstick pan -> fiddles around with fork in pan.

I don’t ever remember laughing when buying free range eggs

[@yz2374]

cuz they weren't organic

[@user-fl1bb6me6o]

Jamie, you are a genius omelette maker. I just did it but added about a tablespoon of tinned evaporated milk to 2 eggs. It came PERFECT, following your fork manoeuvres which I think are essential to cooking the egg to just enough softness! Then added vegan cheddar cheese. I did not need to add salt and pepper and I used a normal stainless steel frying pan. If only there is a way to make a vegan omelette like this! Oh yes, I cooked half an onion until brown before cooking the omelette and then poured the egg mixture on top. I think the caramelized onion adds great flavour to that soft cheesy omelette. May God bless you and your family!

I love to make Spanish omelette and for that I have two non stick pans that can lock together for the purpose of tossing upside down and cooking both sides. Great fun! Spanish omelette is SO delicious! Eggs, diced par-boiled potato’s, and pre fried onion - all mixed into a 6 egg omelette. Delicious hot or cold.

[@Malachi162]

This is best tutorial. I literally just did everything you did and made the perfect golden omelet with no brown in it. Its so beautiful and taste delicious!

[@wordgifts]

The first time i ever succeeded making an omelette. Never thought id see the day. Delicious. Thx.

[@TheScofield1991]

Jamie, all of your tips are amazing, i've started making omelette like you do, and it is delicous. Before that, i've been eating overcooked omelette, and to be honest, wasn't so good. Also, experimenting with the omelette, the ingredients, yummy. I've tried eggs mixed with coriander, grated cheese, grated white cheese feta, grated carrot, and lemon peels chopped. Also, that with bacon, goes boom,, most delicious meal i've ever tried, fluffy milky.....

[@daisous]

Got to say, thanks Jimmy, because this really took my omlet to the level that i would never reach without a good lesson like this

[@peter8084]

Followed the instructions and just made my first ever cheese omelette. It came out perfect and was tasty for sure. I did add a little milk though 👍🏿 !

[@danarchy6319]

I forgot how much I loved watching Jamie cook when I was a kid.

[@shalomchild7414]

Love your passion for food and cooking Jamie 💫⭐️🌟✨

[@almondtree2011]

I like to add red capsicum, mushrooms and cheese to the inside of the omelette, then a touch of chives or spring onion and black pepper to finish the dish on a plate 🍳 Sometimes a side of a fresh tomato for the perfect breakfast or brunch. One thing only - we’re told by the manufacturers not to use metal utensils with non-stick pans, as they can scratch the coating and release harmful chemicals to the food. I use a flat, plastic or silicone spatula

[@lucylane7397]

I guess you’re Australian

[@laurarenda8383]

Love that there is a place to see a Great chef work! Love Jamie Oliver.. Love love omelets!

[@nickrobinson938]

Fabulous tips and delicious omelette. Just one thing. Shouldn't you be using a non-metal spatula or wooden? It ensures that no bits of coating will get into the food. Besides wearing the pan out way before time. "Waste not, want not," said, my gran. Love your recipes. Good job!

[@jinxiemug6041]

The thing about omelettes are, even if you screw up you still got scrambled eggs. It's a win win. 😋😋

[@HustlePhamEntTV]

my omelette always breaks when I fold it so I say fuck it! make a scrambled omelette

[@iDoLiZeDbyALL]

That usually comes from playing with it too much. Patience is the key

[@SomeNiceMovies]

I usually just tilt the pan onto the plate and fold it with the pan. I find it a lot easier, try it out!.

[@tracyflynn5591]

I've only just seen this video and I'd just like to say thank you to Jamie as I made an omelette once and it was so terrible I gave up.. I've now just made the tastiest yumiest omelette ever so a big thank you Jamie.. Everyone else was more concerned about damaging the pan 😂.. I'm sure Jamie has plenty more.. And we can use whatever pan/utensils we like.. The video is about how to cook an omlette! I'm going to be making many many more now. 😋 😋 Thank you again!!

[@mamaliefwonderfoods]

What can i say but that i am an absolute fan of your shows on tv and never miss them. I love the practical approach and the fact that you show how not to waste food by creating interesting recipes from the left overs too...i try to do the same and teach my children to try it too...thank you!

[@1Rik1]

Jamie's forgotten that he's supposed to pretend he cares about how long the non-stick pan lasts.

[@adolfjoseph9725]

this is truly the best and quickest and yummiest way, well done Jamie and thank you

[@larahilton7417]

Jamie, I’ve always been a huge fan of yours. It started when I watched the documentary about the Fifteen restaurants. I thought what you did was incredible. Anyway, these tutorials are so helpful, especially for light weights like me. Thirty years on and I’m still doing a rotation of mexican wraps, spaghetti bolognese, shepherds pie, pesto pasta/tuna pasta and Sunday roast for my family. In part because my husband ‘knows what he likes’. Oh... and scrabbled eggs. I’m going to break through that glass ceiling tomorrow and try an Omlette. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@greyknight5823]

"I got a pan, the right sized pan" Thanks for clearing that up.

[@tsveno72]

He stated the size though.

[@georgianwindow]

He clears more things up than any other TV chef You are not unsure about things with Jamie and remember he is teaching often people to get basic skills .. nice and slow so we get a good result

[@daniellem1838]

He guessed 7”, but he is off. I’d say that is a 10” pan.

I'm 49 and the first thing I learned to cook was an omelet, when I was about 9. I cooked them almost the same way you did, I taught myself to cook them (as well as eggy in a basket and many other dishes). Recent visit to the doctor showed high cholesterol. Do you have a recipe using just the eggs whites, no butter? Can you recommend a butter substitute? Butter, cheese and egg yolk is a no-go for me. Thanks!

[@heenanyou]

Just separate your eggs, throw out the yolk, and cook pretty much as above. In some stores you can buy litres of egg whites (looks like a litre milk carton) and that works too, though the protein strings are broken so it doesn't behave quite like an egg white freshly separated. Takes a little getting used to but it works.

[@flixsfood8098]

I don't use butter

That's not a crime when making an omelette, however the curd is not how I like it. Its slightly browned, a french omelette should just be pale and even, and shaped in a dome.

To everyone talking about the metal in nonstick pan thing. This is Jamie Oliver so theres two things you have to realize. 1. Hes gonna be using some of the best nonstick pans on the planet so im sure they can handle that. 2. He can afford to do that because hes worth $200 million and can just go buy another everyday if he wants. Roughly $12,000 a year to replace a pan everyday lol Stop the hate, coming on here and telling people you would do things differently WILL NOT make you a better chef, and does not make you automatically better than him. It will not make people go to your restaurant instead of his or will not make you more knowledgeable

[@Serai3]

+Dez Adams NO. Sorry. It doesn't matter what Jamie CAN do. He's _teaching people how to cook_. Which means he has a responsibility to show people _how to cook_, and that includes how to take care of your tools. And you don't do that with a nonstick pan by dragging metal across the surface, no matter how good a cook you are. (And a good cook does not have to be told not to do that.) Or how expensive the pan is - nonstick pans _by design_ are not able to handle metal dragging on their surfaces, whether it's an applied surface or ceramic. Really, dude, if you're going to make pronouncements, you really should know something about the subject.
