A Frying Pan that Flips Stuff

Posted January 22nd, 2006 at 9:54 am by Howard Tayler

There have been a couple of comments in other threads about a special “omelette pan” that enables you to trifold your omelette without a spatula. Chupaqueso Reader Ford Finley stayed up all night watching TV just so he could track the thing down. Here’s a web address for Chef Giornali’s Omelet Pan, brought to you by the folks at humbly-named “Smart Inventions Inc.”

I’m not recommending any of you buy this thing. I see two problems with it:

1) It’s teflon, so it’s got a limited life expectancy.
2) It’s teflon with moving parts. I bet that life expectancy is measured in weeks if you make a couple of omelettes a day.

That said, if any of you want to buy one and review it for us, how you use your disposable income is no business of mine. But we’ll upgrade your chupaqueso.com WordPress account so that you can submit an article for our editorial staff to review.

(I probably shouldn’t accuse “smartinventions.com” of hubris in the same post where I refer to Jay and myself in the third person as an “editorial staff.”)

    I see a third problem: It doesn’t appear to be conducive ti flipping the entire contents as a unit. I’d also be skeptical at its ability to keep grease from leaking out the bottom.

    OTOH, it might work just fine for mozzarella shells, which don’t strictly need to be flipped anyway.

    This engineer says, “Hokey.”

    Incidentally, I know this is a blog, so why have accounts? And dince I signed up for an account, is there anything I can accomplish with it?

    Well, if you wanted to submit an article, we could upgrade your account (or lower the security settings) and you could be a contributor.

    I guess I’ll keep myself down here in the peanut gallery unless I find or invent something astonishing that must be shared.

    Oh my goodness! When you said it had moving parts, I never imagined the thing actually bent in half!

    I saw this, I was sure it was only a bad dream, or a french omellete chefs worst nightmare.
