The basic rule of making your cooking taste good is to whack a load of salt, butter and/or cream in it. The amount of butter I see some chefs put in their dishes is horrendously heart attack inducing. I’m sure it tastes great BECAUSE YOU USED A SHIT LOAD OF BUTTER.

Doesn’t mean you need it and keeping it simple with just a bit of butter and salt is perfectly fine as long as you cook it the right way. You don’t need to put milk in to make it creamy either.

As for omelette, ole Jacques Pepin does the trick. Ramsay saying scrambled eggs is the true test of a chef was nicked from Pepin who got chefs to make omelettes.

    I done one summer season in a local seaside restaurant serving all the tourists. I was in charge of cooking omelettes. Used to cook three at a time. A splash of oil in a very hot pan then one ladle of eggs per pan. Used to use a fork which was bent at the end so it wouldn’t scratch the pan. Cooked really fast until it almost set then spread out adding the topping then rolled into a plate.

        What frying pans are you currently recommending? Looking to renew soon. Tried so many and generally all seem to be wank on the coating front. All have 10 years of completely pointless warranty.
        Considering German made Zwilling Madura also been looking at Circulon C series. My view is they are all shite and none live up to their warranty or expectation.

            We’ve just bought some new frying pans. I’ll have a look when I get up. Nothing seems to stick whatsoever. I don’t think they were that expensive either. In the restaurant we used cast iron.
            I think Woll is a good German company.

                Jacques Pepin using a fork on those lovely pans is testament to his skill (or they’re not his pans so he doesn’t give a fuck - probably this)

                  Makes me laugh how they all say knives forks spoons etc can be used with them. Everyone knows it totally fucks them as does putting them in the dishwasher. Learned the hard way.

                    When I’m being decadent I love a warm bagel smothered in cream cheese and blueberry jam. Uffff.

                      Yeh that’s what we do nowadays. Defo not scourers. Especially the ones that say non stick safe. .

                        I must confess I’ve hardly eaten any bagels. They just don’t appeal to me. It’s a probably a texture thing.

                            They’re a completely overrated food.

                            With that stupid fucking annoying hole in the middle too.

                            Zackster’s probably been baking them on his Jewish dick.

                              Yeh, I see that. Smoked salmon and cream cheese but toasted is good though. Slot in some scrambled egg as well lol
