I Try To Master Jacques Pepin's Perfect Omelet...

Jacques Pépin Omelette Masterpiece :

The Twelve Commandments of the Omelet :
* Optimal pan/eggs ratio
* Whisk it, no lumps
* Pan temperature (medium-hot)
* Butter be bubbling not browning
* Lil’ sound when pouring the eggs
* Combo move, Pan back and forth + Fork’s eights
* Shake flat, Shake Tilted, Take off the heat
* Thin skin on top, easier to fold, Thicker at the bottom
* Duck/moon shape
* When TAP TAP, almost flat.
* Seal it and or stuff it
* Reverse hand

FLASH NEWS !!! Thank you all so much for your help ! Because of all the messages we sent, Claudine, Jacques Pépin's daughter tweeted back and she got Jacques himself to watch the video and rate my omelet... I'll post his reaction on the channel tomorrow.... Stay tuned !

I like your reactions. “Light, fluffy, not seasoned, I forgot the salt, Aww I forgot the salt!” 😂

Imagine Alex making cereal in the morning...”The cereal to milk ratio has to be PERFECT”
*builds milk shooting robot that can be controlled with your mind*

I like how the french say “classic omelet”
And americans say “french omelet”

[kuhnandreas]

The most important thing is to make sure that you're whisking really fast with a metal fork. The pan coating is the secret incredient that gives the omelett the special taste and texture.

2 things.
1- i love the Chefs Table music/videography during the final omelette scene.😃
2- Jacques is much much more active on Facebook than Twitter.

Eggscellent !!! This is why I love Alex :D!! Never giving up, always tackling the problem step by step and bringing his audience into the journey. Thank you Alex for yet again an awesome video. Much love all the way from Amsterdam.

The cut to you twirling with joy was as delightful as the omelette you appeared to achieve! This experience is near to my heart because this omelette was the first thing I learned to cook when I eleven or twelve. Though I never reached the pinnacle of omelette triumph as you have I got better every weekend; I literally made omelets every weekend. It is my greatest regret that I stopped learning to cook, and never fulfilled my culinary curiosity that Pepin and others inspired in me. I am thankful I found this channel as it is reawakening that curiosity.

I swear to the lords of youtube.
This channel is by far exceeding every other channel on youtube. Quality over quantity. If I weren't a poor student I would have donated some money to him by now.
Every other channel is no where near this kind of quality

As an amature chef I appreciate that you did this video. The omelet is used as a test because as you pointed out, it takes 12 steps to be executed perfectly and achieve perfection.

When an omlette making video literally follows the heros journey trope...

[beatricedubois]

I had tried to make the same omelette watching the same video... and had the same exact initial result! So glad to see you taking it to (near) perfection. I’m inspired... time to go buy some eggs!!

People are like I never need the math they teach me
Alex: *NOT SO FAST*

[GeoffBernard]

Great editing on this video. The scientific approach is something even Alton Brown would be proud of. I'm sure Monsieur Pepin would approve - even if you don't hear from him. I really enjoyed watching this.

[Kenmanhl]

Vivaldi's Four Season (Winter) was an excellent choice for the triumphant reveal.

[dejugulators]

I actually got chills as you folded up that final omelette in the lip of the pan. Damn. We’ve all been there and we’ve watched his video over and over. Bravo!!

[bipinchandra]

"WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY BIG OMLETTE?"
Sure mate, he'll respond to that.

[Haenki]

came for the omelette, stayed for the accent.

[alexandermorner]

The editing on the finale omelette clips are amazing! So much fun to see you improve not only in cooking but also in photography and editing!

[tiagocoimbra]

Cette vidéo restera à jamais un grand classique cooking de YouTube. Méthodologie, persévérance et passion sont les mots clés :) Thanks Alex!
