Tamagoyaki Japanese/Korean Rectangular Omelette Pan

[fzxdoc]

Lifted from the SUWYC Topic:

I'm on an omelette kick LOL.

I'm loving your self-described Omelette Kick so much, Ernest that I ordered two similar pans from Amazon to make Japanese Tamagoyaki Omelettes.

Here is a link for a non-stick rectangular skillet which comes in two sizes:

And here is a link for a cast iron rectangular skillet (there are several on Amazon)

If you scroll down the first link for the non-stick skillets (or click this one), you'll find a pictorial tutorial on how to make Japanese/Korean Tamagoyaki Omelettes. Here are a few photos from that tutorial:




I bought both sizes of the non-stick skillets and plan on giving this omelette technique a try this weekend. The medium size holds a 2-3 egg mixture, apparently, and the large size holds a 4-6 egg omelette, from what I can gather from reading the comments. If I can make it look as pretty as Ernest's omelettes, I may be pairing a pan with an appropriately-sized spatula for Xmas gifts for our girls.

Thanks, Ernest, for the inspiration, and for making me fork even more money over to Amazon.

If it works for you, I'll be ordering a couple too!

Added to the shopping list on Amazon. I'm a sucker for omelette stuff.

texastweeter , the possibility of Xmas gifts is the reason why I chose to test out the non-stick kind of pan; no way would either of our girls be patient enough to mess with cast iron maintenance. Their pans all go in the dishwasher.

[texastweeter]

your not going to get one of the black iron ones too?

[fzxdoc]

Maybe, texastweeter . I'll see how it goes with the non-stick pans first.

fzxdoc doc Just the other day I was searching for some ingredients for a dish I was planing to make at a website I use for Japanese dishes. I saw this omelet pan there. A bit high end.

Yeah, googling Tamagoyaki Pans yields a treasure trove of options. Some sort of spendy. Me, I like Peppy and Cheap, especially in the research phase of a new technique.

The recipe with the tutorial lists spam as an optional ingredient! That alone makes me want one.

[texastweeter]

I enjoy spam too!

[FireMan]

This is cruel. I admired Ernest ‘s omelets. I love making omelets & eatin them after I learned Pepin’s method. I figured I could leave well enough alone. Then YOU have to repost his pitcher & go n’ get not one but two skillets, then advertise fer a third. What’s a sap like me to do. Whoa is me! 🕶

[tbob4]

Hahahaha. Exactly what I was going to say. Ernest was bad enough posting the photos. "I will never find those pans so I can’t spend money" I said to myself. Now this! Dagnabit.

[Thunder77]

Who gives a rip?? 🤪🤪

[barelfly]

A sap just buys a pan cuz he doesn’t give a rip!

[Ernest]

Hahaha! I'm down here, under the bus....

There's much more to the Japanese omlette than just the pan. Its shape is a function of its main use; the square blocks of omelette on top of tamago sushi.

I hope you enjoy this tutorial:

Bkhuna I have found a few good recipes here. plenty more to research.

"Tamagoyaki (卵焼き or 玉åç„¼ã) is sweetened Japanese rolled omelette that resemble mini bars of golden pillows." Now that is a description.

[tbob4]

I just put one of these pans on my Christmas list. I see all sorts of uses. Thanks Ernest , fzxdoc , and Bkhuna ! Ernest - I am a real omelet dude so your photos are inspiring.

One of the keys to getting the omelette to look right with one of these pans is straining the egg after mixing. It gets the really viscous albumin out (which never really mixes unless you power blend the eggs). Not getting it out leaves white blotches.

[Ernest]

Beat it with a hand blender, you won't need straining.

[fzxdoc]

Good tips, Ernest and mgaretz. Thanks.

Good golly Doc and Ernest just what I need, more pans. I do need a few but never considered these, until now. Gee thanks.

im passing on clicking on the links. Witness this will power in action.

That sound you hear is me grinding the bus gears as I back it up over Ernest. 😃

My first attempt. I'd call it good enough to order the pan and spatula for each of our girls.





Plus it was delicious.

Layers of flavor...yum...

[klflowers]

Dagnabit, Kathryn!!! I was only kidding about the spam, now you had to go and do this.

[fzxdoc]

You won't regret it, klflowers , just do it.

[Ernest]

fzxdoc at what temperature did you cook?
