Made an Omelette in a Griddle!!

[amarie24]

Made an omelette on a griddle (girdle?) for the first time ever!

And for the first time ever...I finally burnt/blackened an egg after believing one couldn’t do that! See the middle of the back of my omelette? Teehee! It...tastes more flavorful, but probably because I put a little more pam spray in the griddle than was needed? (And the edges got kinda Drowned In There, and that’s how I burnt the middle of my omelette by was trying to get the edges to cook.)

It does look like a pretty, fancy sear, tho, and I can’t wait to try it again! Anyone have any tips for my next time? :D

If you are looking for a more even cook, I've found that less textured griddles can help. If you are using a fat or a grease to help, reapplying the grease between cooking helps make sure the cook is more even.

It looks like a great omelette, though, all the same. I hope it was delicious.

Aww, Silver-I really don't use grease/fat in my cooking, remember? LOL! I'm just a pam spray kinda gal.

Plus, uhh...I can't imagine applying grease/fat to an...egg. But noted on the less-textured griddle! I guess that'll help it cook more evenly and then I don't blacken the middle of my egg? :D :D :D

You are already using grease in your cooking, you just think of it as a spray rather than as a solid.

The flat pan does help spread the heat more evenly, yes.

[amarie24]

...All this time, pam spray is actually GREASE?!?!?!!

[silveradept]

What do you think the non-stick part of it is, precisely?

[amarie24]

Uhhh...a non-stick magic spray...?

Don't judge me, Silver...don't judge me.

[silveradept]

Nope. Not judging you. I'm still a toddler when it comes to cooking things, so I'm not judging you about what you do or don't know.

[amarie24]

Teehee, I know and thanks!

And actually, I'd say you're way ahead of me-at least you can bake delicious scones! I have yet to bake anything myself yet!

[silveradept]

Start with pretzels or shortbread. They're both delicious and will give you confidence after you eat your own work and marvel at how good it is.

[amarie24]

Hmm...ehhh, I don't really eat pretzels that much and I have very little idea of what makes shortbread...short! (Is it shorter than you?? Teehee!!)

Do you...know anything else that I could start with that would help give me the basics? :O

[silveradept]

Shortbrea, I am told, is short because it's not handled much. (It's also really buttery and so good.)

A good basics of to make the cookie and/or bar recipe on the bag of the Toll House chocolate chips you'll buy for making those cookies.

[amarie24]

Ooohhhh, it's buttery, you say? So like...cornbread??? :D :D

Toll House chocolate chips-I've heard of those guys before, so I'll try to remember to check that out! Thanks again, Silver!!
