Dude... an omelette takes a couple of minutes in a frying pan.

Also, Omelette du fromage... grrr dexter!

My word, that picture

an edible 1 egg omelette takes only 1minute, an edible 2 egg omelette about 3 minutes, this takes 15+mins?
seems a bit long winded , but nice idea.

Yes, but look at it this way:

Fried (2 eggs only!):
1 om - 3 minutes
2 om - 6 minutes
3 om - 9 minutes
4 om - 12 minutes
5 om - 15 minutes
6 om -18 minutes

boiled om (2 eggs)
1 - 10 om 15 minutes

So if you fancy eating more than 12 eggs in 6 omlettes as once, boiling them is onto a winner!

This truly is an omelette for an idiot.

Hank_Marvin · 10 Dec 2010 at 13:41

thats a new way for sure.

but a pan is easy and for people who are trying to flip them! Dont flip it just grill the top till cooked.

This is the longest method I've ever seen for cooking an omelette and the end result looks like an abortion. Your legacy of terrible meals lives on!

Muhahaha

I'm pretty sure most freezer bags would leach carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting chemicals in to the food when you boil them, unless you used bags specially designed for cooking. Even then I still don't trust them.

Well I didn't know that. I would have though all modern freezer bags would be safe in that regard but hey.

Have you got any good tips chef?

Yes..........if you want to eat afterbirth rummage through a hospital's bins, if you want to make an omelette use a pan.

Well, tbh i do find it hard to make omelettes

I always seem to burn the buggers and when i flip it it just goes everywhere.

Boil in bag, seems to be a less messy way of doing it.

I never flip them, just finish them off under the grill with lots of strong cheddar.

What you need for an omelette is a well seasoned iron pan, 2-3 eggs, Decent cheese, and some finely chopped onions, ham, etc.

Easy to flip if you have a decent iron pan

Man who cannot make an omelette is not man at all

I would have thought the same but I'd love to know if anyone has any definitive proof of them being unsafe.

That being said, you'll rarely see anything being cooked sous-vide at more than 90°C and the bags for that are made from slightly specialised materials, so there might be a grain of truth in boiling the hell out of 'normal' bags.

Elizabeth David would not be amused at this.

I'm actually looking forward to more cooking threads from the OP. I suggest a nice crab dish.

Only 2 Eggs?!

If this is for an omelette I'd love to see his interpretation of poached eggs
