| | Making an omelette, the Pepin way. | Ask MetaFilter |
 | | When there is no more runny egg but the top is still uncooked, fold the omelette in about three or four folds, right to left (if you are right-handed) with the spatula, lifting the pan to help the folding, and immediately take off the heat. |
 | | And as ikkyu2 said, French omelettes can seem almost uncooked in the center, whereas with most American omelettes, the eggs are usually thoroughly set and cooked all the way through. |
 | | It's not generally a problem with omelettes because they are constantly stirred, and quickly cooked, but with saute and saucepans, cheap equipment with thin bottoms will cause food to stick and scorch very easily unless it's constantly agitated. |
