An omelette is a classic dish that can be prepared quickly and with minimal effort. However, the question often arises: how long to fry it? This issue needs to be looked into in more detail, because everything is not so simple.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, spoke about the intricacies of making an omelet.
Preparing the ingredients
Before you start frying an omelette, it is important to prepare the ingredients correctly. There are several steps to take:
1) break eggs into a bowl;
2) add salt and other spices to taste;
3) add a little milk or water to create an airy and “delicate” composition.
Next, the omelette needs to be beaten well until it becomes a homogeneous mixture.
Selecting a frying pan and heating
A non-stick frying pan is ideal to prevent the eggs from sticking. The size of the frying pan should be small so that the omelette spreads evenly over the entire surface. The frying pan is heated over medium heat, adding a little oil beforehand.
How long to fry
It is important to remember that no one can predict the frying time of an omelette in advance, and this is normal. The frying time depends on:
• size of the frying pan;
• furnace power;
• type of frying pan;
• quantity of omelette and other factors.
You should focus not on the time, but on the state of its preparation. When the edges of the omelette begin to rise from the frying pan and brown, and the top is almost frozen, you can turn off the frying pan. You should not overcook the omelette, as this can spoil its taste.
Of course, in most cases you'll have to experiment a little until you find the "perfect" time. But even here, things aren't that simple.
The next time you cook, you can turn the gas on weaker or stronger. Therefore, the only indicator is the degree of readiness, and this can only be determined by eye.
