If you are wondering how to use an omelette maker and why you should, then this article is for you.

There are two kinds of omelette makers, but they generally do the same thing. The first is the pan version, which has a hinge that allows you to close the pan and flip the omelette inside easily. 

The second is a tabletop version, and it looks similar to a waffle maker where you pour in the omelette mixture into the mold, close the lid, and let the machine do all the work.

The best omelette pans are made from non-stick material, but if you want to avoid a mess altogether, use non-stick spray or grease the surface before using the pan.

How An Omelette Maker Helps

Tired of your omelettes coming out burnt on one side and almost raw on the other? 

Feel like some omelettes are way too thin while others are way too thick?

Tired of the cheese never melting just right?

Using an omelette maker makes all these issues a thing of the past! An omelette maker will leave you with a perfectly cooked and consistently sized omelette with the perfect melty goodness happening on whatever cheese you use. 

How To Use An Omelette Maker

There are a few simple steps needed to use an omelette maker. 

Step 1 – Preheat omelette maker on medium low heat

Step 2 – Create your omelette mix. This can include eggs, cheeses, vegetables, or meat. Be sure to stir everything thoroughly. 

Step 3 – Spray the surface of the omelette maker with your favorite non-stick spray. 

Step 4 – Ladle the omelette mix into the pan. I should be filled about halfway, you do not want to overfill it as it will then leak outside the sides of the maker.

Step 5 – Close the lid and allow the omelette to cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip the omelette and let cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove when done.

When it is done you should have a perfectly cooked omelette with the perfect ooey gooey cheese goodness melted in the middle.

Below is a simple recipe to get you started.
