MAKING OMELETTES
Fast, simple and nutritious, omelettes represent the best in home-cooked fast food. They’re easier than ever to
make thanks to the Lakeland Omelette Express. This versatile machine will also cook pancakes and apple pie.
See RECIPES FOR YOUR OMELETTE EXPRESS.
1.
Place the Omelette Express on a sturdy, flat surface, and secure by pressing down the suction cup base.
2.
Plug in the Omelette Express. The red light will illuminate to show it is switched on and heating up.
PLEASE NOTE: the light will turn on and off as the internal thermostat regulates heat; this is normal.
3.
Open the lid by its handle and lightly brush the cooking plates with a small amount of oil or melted butter.
This will help to extend the life of the non-stick coating.
4.
Close the lid by its handle and allow the appliance to preheat.
5.
Open the lid by its handle. PLEASE NOTE: the inside and outside of the Omelette Express will get hot
during use. Always use the handle when opening, closing or rotating the appliance.
6.
If ingredients such as chopped onion, bacon and mushrooms are to be sautéed, place them on the
hotplate (5) and cook until lightly browned. See Fig. 1. Please do not use metal or bladed utensils as they
may scratch the non-stick surface.
7.
Close the lid by its handle and flip the appliance over on its hinge. See Fig. 2. Divide the sautéed
ingredients evenly between the omelette wells.
8.
Add beaten egg mixture to each well, taking care not to overfill. See Fig. 3. Four large eggs will make two
omelettes. If you wish to make just one omelette, halve the quantity and only grease one of the omelette
wells.
9.
Close the lid by its handle and allow to cook for 2 minutes.
10. Flip the appliance on its hinge and leave to cook for another minute. Then flip back to its original position.
11. Open the lid by its handle and remove the omelettes using a non-metallic spatula. Take care as the cooking
plates will be very hot. PLEASE NOTE: if you wish to continue making omelettes, the next batch will cook
more quickly as the plates will already be hot.
12. Once you have finished cooking, unplug the power cord. Leave the Omelette Express to cool completely
before cleaning. See CLEANING YOUR OMELETTE EXPRESS.
CLEANING YOUR OMELETTE EXPRESS
Thanks to its non-stick cooking plates, this appliance is very easy to clean.
1.
Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely.
2.
Wipe the cooking plates with kitchen roll or a damp cloth, adding a little washing-up liquid if you like, to
remove any oil or butter. Please do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
3.
Wipe the outside of the Omelette Express with a damp cloth, and dry with a soft cloth. Abrasive scourers
or steel wool will damage the finish.
4.
Once the appliance is clean and dry, store it in the original box or in a clean, dry place. Coil the power cord
loosely; never wrap it tightly around the appliance.
PLEASE NOTE: this appliance must not be placed in a dishwasher or immersed in water for cleaning.
HELPFUL TIPS
•
Take care not to overfill the omelette wells. Use a measuring jug to pour the egg mixture rather than a ladle
or spoon.
•
Omelettes are usually made with whole eggs, although egg whites work well if you would like to reduce
the fat content of your omelette. The egg white and yolk will separate more easily if the eggs are very fresh.
Two egg whites = one whole egg.
•
Egg whites are easier to beat at room temperature. If you prefer to keep your eggs in the fridge, take them
out about half an hour before cooking.
•
For fluffier omelettes, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk or water to the egg mixture.
•
Unless stated otherwise, most recipes require large eggs.
•
Too much salt in the egg mixture will make the omelette tough.
•
If you are making several omelettes, close the lid after removing the first batch to keep the heat in and
maintain the correct cooking temperature.
