To get the right number of egg for your pan, the Omelet(te) spreadsheet is here : docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
The Twelve Commandments of the Omelet :
* Optimal pan/eggs ratio
* Whisk it, no lumps
* Pan temperature (medium-hot)
* Butter be bubbling not browning
* Lil’ sound when pouring the eggs
* Combo move, Pan back and forth + Fork’s eights
* Shake flat, Shake Tilted, Take off the heat
* Thin skin on top, easier to fold, Thicker at the bottom
* Duck/moon shape
* When TAP TAP, almost flat.
* Seal it and or stuff it
* Reverse hand

    The most important thing is to make sure that you're whisking really fast with a metal fork. The pan coating is the secret incredient that gives the omelett the special taste and texture.

    The cut to you twirling with joy was as delightful as the omelette you appeared to achieve! This experience is near to my heart because this omelette was the first thing I learned to cook when I eleven or twelve. Though I never reached the pinnacle of omelette triumph as you have I got better every weekend; I literally made omelets every weekend. It is my greatest regret that I stopped learning to cook, and never fulfilled my culinary curiosity that Pepin and others inspired in me. I am thankful I found this channel as it is reawakening that curiosity.

    How much milk is kinda an art and science, you have to know the cereal, how much it floats, its affects on the milk, and the strength of its tastes, and how the milk compliments the cereal, and how tasty the left over milk is. Every milk and cereal combo is different.

So he acknowledged it is a legitimate test of one`s skills in the kitchen! Bravo on your final successful classic omelette!

    FWIW after using the ‘dual action’ of scrambling the eggs while shaking the pan, I figured out that sliding the pan on the stove actually serves two purposes- yes it keeps the whole omelet moving while it’s cooking, but (I think) more importantly it gives you a very good read on exactly how much the eggs are setting up, so how close you are to the not where the eggs will be too cooked to easily shape into the bottom of the pan.

    the main thing is the heat and controlling it. Get butter sizzling, eggs in and scramble really quick while moving pan - but then at the very moment when you have the small curds and you've reached the point you have run out of liquid egg to fill the gaps, take the whole pan away from the stove and use spatula to smooth the egg into one soft layer. Then flip one edge and roll. Back to the stove for 10-15 seconds to set the egg inside the omelette and flip onto a plate with the crease at the bottom. main point is that taking the pan away from the stove is the way to instantly control the heat, not turning the gas down. Turning the gas down is reserved for when you have time. Dishes like this you don't have time. This is a vital tool for everything that can be seconds away from overcooking. from setting soft egg curds to frying thinly sliced garlic. It helps to think of the heat as a campfire, you put your pan over it to get heat and take it away when you have enough, don't just set it to low and hope for the best.

    I guess everybody has their own tricks and preferences The more butter you can emulsify into your egg, the easier you are going to be able to use this technique. The trick there is that the heat can never be so hot that the egg will turn rubbery if you left it in place for 30 seconds either. I melt the butter at a very slow flame. Have the eggs already cracked, ideally with a couple of extra yolks thrown in (without whites) for more richness and emulsification capacity. Turn the heat up slightly when the butter has melted and eggs go in. Stir them violently to get them just below the desired thickness of the center of your omelet. Then let them form the bottom of pan off the heat with the residual heat. Completely remove the heat by touching bottom of pan to cold water unless you have the confidence to work quickly with the rollup. You can really take your time if you gauge this right and the omelet will finish cooking with the leftover heat still on the outside edge touching the top after rolling. The butter or fat you emulsified earlier is what makes this part simple. It might seem watery sometimes if you added too much salt or spices before cooking but you can rectify this by sufficiently letting it sit and cool down before cutting into it.

However, I'm an amateur chef, but the one thing I learned from watching Alton Brown is that pans don't like metal. It scratches off the nonstick surface layer called Teflon. Which is why the new pan worked better since it was still on. Using nonmetal utensils will lengthen the life of your pan; wooden or rubber spatulas. Maybe someone already pointed this out. Thought I chimed in. Thanks for all your videos!

    I went trough the same evolution a few years ago. I ended up making a two egg version in a slightly smaller pan, because my other pan is just too heavy, and I've never been satisfied with the glase I'm able to get when I season it. When that pan is well seasoned I can flip the omelette out in one motion. I prefer to cook them a little bit harder to get a bit more colour, but finish when it is still not cooked through on top. I stir with a fork, and start the flip with a thin stainless spatula.
