I believe the purpose of using a fork is to have one tool to beat the eggs and cook, but also that it provides a tool to drag the coagulated egg over the pan and lift it up when necessary. A seasoned carbon steel pan (e.g., Mauviel, deBuyer), using butter as a cooking fat also works well and won't scratch, but really needs only to be used for eggs. The most important thing is to start with eggs at room temperature and make sure your pan (especially non stick steel) is properly heated.

For me here in USA Omelet look like a tortilla fold in half and scramble egg look like broken omelet and always over cooked and never fluffy, as it should be. Sometime if the pan is at the right temperature and you have enough experience just by turning the pan as rotation without using the fork you can still cook it thru and use plastic spatula only at the end just to roll it and shape it as a cigar with a clean towel too.

Totally agree. I've always modelled his technique (or tried to during my career in a kitchen). It's such a basic technique on paper, and looks easy, but very tricky to master. It's amazing the amount of chefs out there who can do the fanciest stuff but have no idea how to perform the basics like cooking some eggs or roasting a chicken.

Many frying pans were harmed by unskilled people trying to copy Jacques care-free metal fork technique.

You can just roll it onto the plate and fold it as your transfer it. Works great. It's even better to cook it low and slow and not on a non-stick pan and not use as much butter to begin with but to add a little on top while it's cooking

For some reason, I have this haunting feeling that despite my confidence in my skills as an omelette maker, that I have no chance in hell of reproducing anything close to that masterpiece!

Superb. Subtle mastery gained over years of practise. Bravo Jacques!

Especially the tips of bringing everything on one side, tapping the pan to fold it on other side, and the way to hold the pan to put it on the plate. I'm going to practice more. Chef Pépin is a master!!

For the people worried about fork on non-stick: When you’re doing the stirring motion, you don’t want the fork to scrape the bottom of the pan. You want the fork to swirl around the top layer of the egg, floating right above the pan. Kenji Lopez also has a video on this. Alternatively, you could use a small spatula or wooden chopsticks.

I consider myself blessed to buy in a nearby store eggs from amish and their yolks are red, I mean really, really red and when I make my omelette the color is beautiful and so inviting to eat it. I appreciate the red yolks because that is how I grew up in my country Albania. There my family used to buy village eggs and the yolks were red and I strongly believe that's becasue chicken were roaming outdoors eating wild grass. Wish this great chef could travel and visit my country and go up in high peak mountain villages to taste our traditional food where everything is cooked with pure bio ingredients. Sure enough he will be pleasantly surprised.
