... Cooking an Omlette, and boy oh boy did I fall foul of that tonight.
Any tips to help reduce the amount of crispen charcoal I was left to munch? Haha

You probably left it alone. it needs to be constantly watched and turned over, failing that. try poaching it instead.

mine always turns into scrambled egg if i do it in a pan. :Oops:
you can buy an omlette maker for the microwave in a pound/99p shop, they are quite good.

His proper name is Hamwich, but because I'm a bit loopy (it's one of those awful by products from studying psychology), he's been nicknamed Squishy. He's possibly the grumpiest little man you could ever meet.

Low heat, splash of oil in the pan and then alternate between grill and hob.
Puting the pan under the grill will cook the top of the omlette and hold it all together.

Aha, now that sounds like a good idea. Yuuuuuuuummy.
Here's hoping whatever tonight's meal is, turns out *much* better.

3 egg omlette is easy once you have done a couple.Lightly beat the eggs season them heat pan to medium shot of oil and a knob of butter swirl it around. Pour in egg reduce heat to low to medium and with a fork move the egg outside in all around while tilting the pan. After a minute lift the edges and just as the egg starts to cook through fold it in half give it 30 seconds more and you have breakfast.
Don't buy a omlette maker it's for fools :~D

When I worked nights on my Gap Yah I pretty much lived on Omelettes, this (type of) product was amazing, perfect omelettes dead easy!
