How to Flip an Omelet

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Occasionally for bigger omelets or egg tortillas and frittatas it's not so easy to flip in the pan without it breaking.

   This is because there is an inconsistency in the omelet texture where it could tear. ,, This is not for kids so should be done by an adult.
   
   This is done quite often with large omelets, but the trick is to make sure the plate does not slide loose as this can cause injury as well as ruin the omelet.
   
   This is why you want to have a big rim for a firm grip.
   
   If your pan has a high amount of liquid grease, this method is not ideal due to risk of burns (see next method).
