Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 some one on the cooking list a while back sent out the way to make a omelet in a quart size freezer zip lock bag and I have been doing it a lot since then. for example this morning the wife and I split a 3 egg omelet. it had a spoon full of pinto beans with ham that I made yesterday, maybe one fourth cup frozen hashbrowns, some chopped onions, some cream cheese, some mushrooms, a tad of real butter and a tablespoon of milk. put it all in a tall glass, then pulled the bag over the glass and flipped it over so all fell in the bag. got all the air out of the bag and locked it up. then mashed everything up using my fingers and then dropped in to a pan that all ready was boiling. maybe had enough water to cover the bag. left it for twenty minutes and it slid real nice right out on the plate and was whole. When I first got the recipe it said only 15 minutes, but after doing it now for a few years I find twenty minutes works best for me. I got the burner on medium low heat. one nice thing about making a omelet this way, is if my wife wanted her's a different way, then it isn't a problem to do 2 or even 3 at the same time. you may need a larger pot, but this would be all. I wouldn't think the twenty minutes to boil would really need to change, but then I have never made more then 2 at once. I find making a omelet in a skillet is about as hard as it gets for us who no more see. this way was the pig's answer to a very pretty omelet. you who haven't tried should give this a try and let me know how it went. for you who don't cook much or live by your self, this will work grate and is very easy to boot.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have heard that for years and have never tried it.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 well now, since you are easy to convince, ever thought about being a second wife? I mean they use to do it back in the day. lots of men had twenty wives! I figure if they all had grate jobs, then I would have to stay home to cook and clean all day long! omelet in a bag. > some one on the cooking list a while back sent out the way to make a > omelet in a quart size freezer zip lock bag and I have been doing it a lot > since then. for example this morning the wife and I split a 3 egg omelet. > it had a spoon full of pinto beans with ham that I made yesterday, maybe > one fourth cup frozen hashbrowns, some chopped onions, some cream cheese, > some mushrooms, a tad of real butter and a tablespoon of milk. put it all > in a tall glass, then pulled the bag over the glass and flipped it over so > all fell in the bag. got all the air out of the bag and locked it up. then > mashed everything up using my fingers and then dropped in to a pan that > all ready was boiling. maybe had enough water to cover the bag. left it > for twenty minutes and it slid real nice right out on the plate and was > whole.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hahaha! You would probably cook for me all the time and I would gain the weight you are losing! LOL! But at least I could ride the nowhere bike while you exercised around the kitchen cooking! omelet in a bag. > > > some one on the cooking list a while back sent out the way to make a > > omelet in a quart size freezer zip lock bag and I have been doing it a > lot > > since then. for example this morning the wife and I split a 3 egg > omelet. > > it had a spoon full of pinto beans with ham that I made yesterday, > maybe > > one fourth cup frozen hashbrowns, some chopped onions, some cream > cheese, > > some mushrooms, a tad of real butter and a tablespoon of milk. put it > all > > in a tall glass, then pulled the bag over the glass and flipped it over > so > > all fell in the bag. got all the air out of the bag and locked it up. > then > > mashed everything up using my fingers and then dropped in to a pan that > > all ready was boiling. maybe had enough water to cover the bag. left it > > for twenty minutes and it slid real nice right out on the plate and was > > whole.
