To make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs; to perfect the technique of using a Calphalon omelette pan, you have to get some practice.
Calphalon omelette pans are specially designed for omelette making. The pans are non-stick, which keeps the eggs from sticking, and the edges are low, which allows for clean and easy omelette removal. Just using an Calphalon omelette pan alone won't guarantee a perfect omelette; you need to use a proper technique as well.
Instructions
1. Crack 3 eggs into a small bowl. Be careful to not get any shell in the bowl.
2. Whisk the eggs together until the yellow and white are combined. If you see any separation of egg white and egg yolk, keep whisking. Don't stop whisking until the eggs are creamy and even in color. Season with salt and pepper if you desire.
3. Heat the Calphalon omelette pan over medium-high heat for one minute.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Let it melt and heat up until the butter just starts to bubble.
5. Add the whisked eggs to the pan. Lower the heat to medium. If you do not lower the heat, the eggs won't cook properly and they might burn.
6. Cook the eggs over medium heat for 30 seconds.
7. Position the end of a rubber spatula against the side of the pan where the egg meets the edge. Keeping the spatula pressed against the bottom of the pan, scrape from the outside edge to the middle of the pan. Repeat this process, working in a circle, around the entire perimeter of the pan. The technique of scraping the eggs with a spatula results in creamy curds, which makes a creamy and moist omelette.
8. Cook the eggs for another 30 seconds. Scrape the pan again, using the same technique. If you want to add any fillings, such as cheese, mushrooms, onions or green peppers, add them at this point. Add the filling ingredients on the right two-thirds of the omelette only.
9. Cook the eggs for another 30 seconds. At this point, the eggs should resemble a flat omelette. The eggs will be slightly runny.
10. Fold the left third of the omelette into the middle of the pan using a rubber spatula.
11. Lift the pan off of the stove with your left hand. Hold the pan over a plate.
12. Tilt the plate to the right at a 45 degree angle. Using a rubber spatula to help, tilt the pan far enough so the omelette rolls onto the plate. As the omelette rolls onto the plate, it folds on top of itself and forms a football shape. The football shape holds in a lot of heat which finishes cooking the runny egg that remained from before.
