Heat up the pan on low heat
Keep the heat medium-low
Get your eggs out if the fridge for 10-15 minutes before cooking
Don't be a fag
Make proper eggs

>>8375292
Yeah

100% the pan and how much oil you use. You want quite litearlly 0% sticking to the pan for all the pretty omelettes

this though technique is important as well though.

Other anons have already covered it but yeah use a SMOOTH pan and learn by using lots of oil and very low heat. Get it looking right with the thickness you want and the technique of flipping then gradually reduce the amount of oil and increase the heat until it's not too greasy and doesn't take 15 minutes.

Is there a substitute for this?

Every time I try to make eggs I end up grabbing a dick instead of a spatula to flip the omelette.

Dat Chihuly.

Heat up pan on low-medium
Pour bit of oil so that the whole pan is covered with thin cm worth of oil (so the egg doesn't stick to the pan and gives nice fried essence)
Crack 2-3 eggs into a bowl
Add 1-2 tsp of milk
1 tsp of salt

Now beat the egg throughly till its equalized and everything looks good.

Check the pan (move your hand over the pan an inch or so above) and see if you can feel a good warm heat. Then pour the egg in the pan. Make sure the egg spreads across the entire pan equally. then wait about 3-5 mins for the egg to fry on the other side (browning out). You'll notice the top side of the egg losing its sogginess and drying up. Then Slowly lift the egg from the side and fold it halfway in symmetrical fashion.

Then cook little bit more, flip the back side in 1-2 minutes and you should be done.

I personally add bit of spice during the initial beating of the eggs. And add bit of shredded cheese just before you fold the eggs.

Protein in a cold state sticks heavily to a hot surface. Food that is stuck will eventually come off when heated enough, that's how ovens clean themselves, by increasing temperature to like 9000.
So you have to balance your temperature.
You can use butter, lard, oil, grease. Yeah, some pans are better for non stick. But most are just cheap and suck, period.

>increasing temperature to like 9000

So, my self cleaning oven heats to the temperature of the earth's core. Retard.

>>8375780
Yes. Sometimes even over 9000.
It's not a fucking dish washer.

Jacque Pepin.

Cover the pan for a minute or so before flipping, solidify the upper surface so it doesn't splatter when you flip.

>mfw steel melts at 1536*C

Adding a couple of drops of soy sauce to the eggs while beating gives them a nice golden color

Turn down the temperature in your pan.

Also, use a tiny bit more butter/oil in your pan. The eggs break because they're sticking.

lol dude

Test to see if it's going to tear before you flip it by gently shaking the pan and seeing if it scoots along the surface. If it seems like it will tear, go around the edges with a spatula to loosen up parts that are sticking to the pan.

Or just use enough oil in the first place.
