183. GENERAL REMARKS ON OMELETS.
In making an omelet care should be taken that the pan be clean, smooth and hot,
otherwise the omelet will stick. To those who have not much practice in making
omelets we recommend making several small omelets rather than a large one, for
instance, for 5 persons make two omelets of 5 eggs each, instead of one of 10.
