The number of times I thought he was going to lose that omelet was unreal, only to see it come out better than any other french omelet video I've seen. What a boss. Mad respect.

@@brieapplebanana You do not need to use a nonstick pan in fact. When I was in France in hotel we used regular iron cast pan who was used only for omelet and when we was done we just wipe the pan with clean towel and never wash it . Sometime we clean it with rock salt too, omelet never stick on pan, and you get the same result. For me here in USA Omelet look like a tortilla fold in half and scramble egg look like broken omelet and always over cooked and never fluffy, as it should be. Sometime if the pan is at the right temperature and you have enough experience just by turning the pan as rotation without using the fork you can still cook it thru and use plastic spatula only at the end just to roll it and shape it as a cigar with a clean towel too. Bon Appetite
That's BS. There's a lot of professional chefs with videos of how they make perfect omelettes using different techniques from Jaque Pepin. Much less noisy methods. And w/o the crutch of a nonstick pan.
I love the way Jacques cooks. No gadgets just to impress, no measuring and it is okay to wash your hands and touch the food. Mostly just hands, fork, knife, common sense and season to taste. I watched another video on how to make a proper french omelette and thought I needed a food processor and had to fold it like origami to get the proper texture. I watched Jacques do it with a bowl, a fork, two simple folds and a pair of eyes!
Totally agree. I've always modelled his technique (or tried to during my career in a kitchen). It's such a basic technique on paper, and looks easy, but very tricky to master. It's amazing the amount of chefs out there who can do the fanciest stuff but have no idea how to perform the basics like cooking some eggs or roasting a chicken.
@@mohammadgamaslazuardi6438 The joke is he was going to say wrap it like a blunt. After listening a couple times and using some cooking context, maybe we was going to say "blanket" or "blintz", but figured carpet would be a better analogy.
Since I have seen Mr Pepin's video I have made myself more than a thousand omelettes. One every day for lunch with chives, thyme, onion, cheeze or salsa, part of a ketogenic diet consisting of two meals a day. I have lost 85 pounds and this recipe has kept me going because I'm never getting tired of it.
@@perryroobay The tip of the tines should not scrape into the pan. Only the flat part lightly touches the pan. I believe the purpose of using a fork is to have one tool to beat the eggs and cook, but also that it provides a tool to drag the coagulated egg over the pan and lift it up when necessary. A seasoned carbon steel pan (e.g., Mauviel, deBuyer), using butter as a cooking fat also works well and won't scratch, but really needs only to be used for eggs. The most important thing is to start with eggs at room temperature and make sure your pan (especially non stick steel) is properly heated.
Here in France, it's a test for cooks. If you can do a good omelette, you're on the right way. Sometimes the most basic dishes are the ones the most difficult to achieve correctly.
I was so worried in culinary school that I was going to get it wrong after practicing it in my head so many times... but when time came to make it, it wasn't as difficult as I expected.
I just made my first one of these, and it was nearly perfect, thanks to this video. I've cooked enough things for the first time to know what beginner's luck is, so i'm looking forward to attempt #47 when it comes out right again.
I usually do very well the first time, then not as well the second time, then better than the first on the third try! So don't give up if the second try is not as good. Third time's the charm!
Ha! So true. The first time I made Chef Pepin's french omelette was several years ago and it was picture perfect. I've made them many times since then, and they have never looked as good. They still taste delicious, so my family and I don't mind "ugly" omelettes.
I grew up watching Jacques Pépin, the guy is a national treasure, for Frenchards and a benefit to us here in the states, because he’s just simply one of the best
i started out with a nonstick pan a few months ago and had modest success with his technique. Then many months of cooking during this pandemic my nonstick pans are caput! So i watched some heat a SS pan to the point where drop of water forms mercury like ball running around. then use a little oil not butter which browns and coat the pan and then pour in the eggs. IT WORKED!!
nonstick pans are questionable in terms of their safety anyway. This technique was done successfully and frequently before them in seasoned pans as you describe.
His omelette looks so much better than the other videos on TH-cam, despite everyone taking very similar approaches. I also like how he hasn’t needed to sprinkle herbs on top to give that authentic French look.
I only discovered Jacques last week. It's amazing that even though I consider myself ok home cook with above average knowledge, almost every video I learn a useful tip. Tap to flip other side of omelette is so simple, yet clever and looks so professional. It's obvious he's a pro
I make it myself, I learnt from this vide and yet I come back and watch it again and again every few months, just to revise and hoping one day to be able to master this art like you do.
Chef Pepin, I just had the immense pleasure of watching the video of the day you welcomed popular French You-Tuber @Alex from France into your home. What a wonderful show that was to watch. I have such warm memories of watching you, Julia Childs and Graham Kerr on PBS as a child with my mom and little sister. May you be blessed with as much warmth and happiness as you have spread throughout this world with your cooking shows!
It seems like a lot of people don’t understand what they are seeing. This is an expert cooking technique that produces a unique result that is superior to any other omelet, in appearance, texture, and flavour. Yes, it tastes better when cooked this way. And it is not raw. When egg is kept moving it cooks without setting. It is fully cooked, just not hard like a fried egg that sits still and sets.
I followed his technique today in my first attempt of making a French omelette. Couldn't make it as good as his, but I'm happy that it didn't turn out like a scrambled egg! Especially the tips of bringing everything on one side, tapping the pan to fold it on other side, and the way to hold the pan to put it on the plate. I'm going to practice more. Chef Pépin is a master!!
We’ve all cooked an omelette, it NEVER looks like that! All these other chefs making fussy additions and techniques, no thanks, this man always turns a humble ingredient or two into something decent! He is the boss…
The beating of the eggs was perfect. I always assumed I had to be quiet. But the noise convinced me I wasn't being wrong, I just lacked the conviction.
I've been doing this for 2 months now, and I have to keep coming back to see what I'm doing wrong. Too much butter, stainless steel pan (I finally gave in, and I don't know what the french used back before Teflon, but it made a huge difference), Too big a pan, Almost got it now, but I still need to fix the asymmetric slant he puts on it. I've started to refer to myself in the third person as Jacques when I'm cooking omlets to my wifes great amusement...
@@TheDavishers carbon steel skillets my guy, carbon steel skillets. You can season them like cast iron, but they are light and smooth, you can use metal spoons on them and they are oven safe too.

@@Thee_Sinner You don't say... so what. Pepin has a million pans, he doesn't care. These aren't even his. Use a spatula at home, it'll do the same thing.
For some reason, I have this haunting feeling that despite my confidence in my skills as an omelette maker, that I have no chance in hell of reproducing anything close to that masterpiece!
i'm here wondering why this channel doesn't have at least a couple million subscribers, this is pure gold ladies and gentlemen, a free masterclass right here
Almost 3 decades I’ve been cooking and I’m still intimidated to make this omelette. I take off my toque to the old-school French. Oh how I miss having plates thrown at my head.
Greetings to you chef ! You have been very inspiring to me since the beginning of my culinary school education and watching you recreate one of your most well known recepies is the equivalent of watching guilmour playing the comfortably Numb solo ,or watching Micheal Jackson's moonwalk . The ease of mastery can be clearly seen which make everything you do look so simple yet you only find out how much effort is required when you attempt it ! Wishing you a lot of Heath in this time , Merci beaucoup Chef .
Oncle Jacques, I can't find a video where you show stuffing an omelette with something. Please get around to that. Thank you for everything you've done to help us get through the past year. Peace and love to your family with thoughts of your recent loss. ❤️👍😎
You can just roll it onto the plate and fold it as your transfer it. Works great. It's even better to cook it low and slow and not on a non-stick pan and not use as much butter to begin with but to add a little on top while it's cooking
Thank you for a beautiful presentation, I know you are a great chef, you taught us a lot.Many Americans have benefited from your advice and cooking techniques. One more time thank you for everything.

Thought I knew how to do this well but every time I come back I feel HUMBLED 🥵
I got it almost perfectly and it's my first time making this type of omelette. It is amazing , so simple , yet so fluffy and rich of flavours! Merci beaucoup monsieur Pépin!
For the people worried about fork on non-stick: When you’re doing the stirring motion, you don’t want the fork to scrape the bottom of the pan. You want the fork to swirl around the top layer of the egg, floating right above the pan. Kenji Lopez also has a video on this. Alternatively, you could use a small spatula or wooden chopsticks.
I have huge admiration for this man. He is one of the best chefs this world has ever seen, no doubt. I want to tell him that the color of those yolks can be better and as a result the color of the omelette will be better. I consider myself blessed to buy in a nearby store eggs from amish and their yolks are red, I mean really, really red and when I make my omelette the color is beautiful and so inviting to eat it. I appreciate the red yolks because that is how I grew up in my country Albania. There my family used to buy village eggs and the yolks were red and I strongly believe that's becasue chicken were roaming outdoors eating wild grass. Wish this great chef could travel and visit my country and go up in high peak mountain villages to taste our traditional food where everything is cooked with pure bio ingredients. Sure enough he will be pleasantly surprised.
to all the people talking about the fork and the pans... I remembered that skilled samurai in the old Japan, knew by instinct and experience how to cut a man, bones, and how to cross Katanas (swords) without getting them damaged. I think Jacques is actually so damn skilled at cooking and using the fork that he doesn't damage the skillet
I like Jean-Pierre, but Jacques Pepin has been doing this longer than Pierre has been alive. If you think Pepin is here for the subs, you don't know Pepin.
I love his stories as the Apprentice. Much can be learned about how to perfect any craft by hard work, eagerness to learn and passion in any field. Jacques is the perfect example of the trained Chef. These arrogant Celebrity Chefs couldn't hold Pepin's hand towel in the kitchen with his culinary craft. Not even close. What the world could learn from this man teaching the craft vs the ego of the Celebrity Chef...
The best thing with this technique is if you are making this as a breakfast for your partner, you can guarantee they’ll be awake by the time it’s ready to eat.

True. I made an omelet this morning. When I thought of Pepin, I had to hang my head in shame. Tasted great but was ugly AF.

An absolute master-and a gem of a human being.
I have huge admiration for this man. He is one of the best chefs this world has ever seen, no doubt. I want to tell him that the color of those yolks can be better and as a result the color of the omelette will be better. I consider myself blessed to buy in a nearby store eggs from amish and their yolks are red, I mean really, really red and when I make my omelette the color is beautiful and so inviting to eat it. I appreciate the red yolks because that is how I grew up in my country Albania. There my family used to buy village eggs and the yolks were red and I strongly believe that's becasue chicken were roaming outdoors eating wild grass. Wish this great chef could travel and visit my country and go up in high peak mountain villages to taste our traditional food where everything is cooked with pure bio ingredients. Sure enough he will be pleasantly surprised.
to all the people talking about the fork and the pans...
I remembered that skilled samurai in the old Japan, knew by instinct and experience how to cut a man, bones, and how to cross Katanas (swords) without getting them damaged. I think Jacques is actually so damn skilled at cooking and using the fork that he doesn't damage the skillet
This master deserves much better camera work. And so do we.
Bravo! Simplicity and Perfection! Also love the plate with the roosters.
Chef Jean-Pierre beat you to the punch and is at 1.5 Million Subs.
Keep creating content and you'll be there soon.
I like Jean-Pierre, but Jacques Pepin has been doing this longer than Pierre has been alive. If you think Pepin is here for the subs, you don't know Pepin.
I love his stories as the Apprentice. Much can be learned about how to perfect any craft by hard work, eagerness to learn and passion in any field. Jacques is the perfect example of the trained Chef. These arrogant Celebrity Chefs couldn't hold Pepin's hand towel in the kitchen with his culinary craft. Not even close. What the world could learn from this man teaching the craft vs the ego of the Celebrity Chef...
Omg perfection 😋🤤😋🤤😋😍
You are great at what you are doing congratulations
