Holstein Housewares Stainless Steel 2 Section Omelet & Frittata Maker, Non Stick Coating, Easy To Clean, Indicator Lights, Compact Storage, Prepare Versatile Recipes in Minutes. 2 Portions, Yellow

This is a great little omelette maker. Perfect for a single person or a couple. Heats up very fast and cooks fast and consistently making nice sized omelettes. Easy to clean and doesn’t take up much space on the counter.

Now that I have this in my life I simply won't be able to live without it. I love omelets. As somebody that has no culinary skills this is the answer to my prayers. It's so simple and makes great omelets. I'm on the keto diet so I use this at least twice a day. Just know that your omelets are going to be a bit different than what you get on a pan, the outside is going to be brown and the omelet is more "cake-like" than what you may be used to. Doesn't bother me, still tastes delicious! This is for quick and easy omelets that are tasty, if you want diner quality you should probably go to a diner or get your pan out. It only takes me about 5 minutes to cook my omelets. I see others say 8-10 minutes but all I know is that for my grill, it's perfectly done in about 5 minutes. But I do have my own strategy that I provide at the end of the review with tips. I want to add that I read a lot of reviews for this product since I wanted to be informed. Reading the negative reviews, it does seem that there may be some kind of inconsistency with the heating element for some people. I saw people complain about burnt eggs or it taking too long or a runny middle. I have none of those problems with my unit. If you are experiencing these problems you may want to return it or read my tips, they might help you. This is definitely something I would recommend to anybody that wants quick and easy eggs. However, if I could give it 4.5 stars instead of 5 I would, only because there is some room for improvement. For one, this thing gets real HOT. Do not touch the outside of this unit ever when it's on or you will get burned. Keep anything away from it while it is in operation. Also there is no power button or switch so you have to plug it in every time. I use an extension cord, just makes it easier for me to do this. Also there isn't a timer or anything, you just have to pay attention and figure out the timing on your own. Last, there does seem to be inconsistency for some people on how long it takes to cook the eggs, that makes it a bit harder to recommend to others not knowing what they might get. Now that said, let me get straight into the tips on how to make a good omelet with this maker! First- Use a jar to shake up the eggs and spices. Don't add your ingredients in the jar, just the eggs, it just makes the shaking take longer. It's a personal preference but why make more work than you have to by dirtying dishes? After you are done simply stick the jar in the fridge, or if you are done with the maker for a while, rinse it out and put it away. Second- Use 3 Eggs total for both sides AND use two tablespoons of water. Yes you read that right, WATER. Add the water to your jar when you are going to shake the eggs up. This is going to puff up your omelet real nice. Mix it all together in the jar. Third- With your grill already pre-heated, fill both sides of the grill with your mixed egg, BUT only about half way. Then add your ingredients directly into the eggs on the grill. Have your ingredients ready so you're not wasting time while the eggs are cooking. You don't want to overfill and this prevents that because you can stop adding ingredients if you are approaching the top of the fill line. If you have more room after adding ingredients, top off with the rest of the egg mix in your jar. Again, you can bring it right to the edge, just don't go over it. Close the lid. Fourth- Wait for the grill lid to start rising. If you did it right you should see the lid rise slightly. For me this takes about 3 minutes. Once the lid has risen on its own a fair bit, pull up the lid all the way and poke a hole directly in the middle of both omelets. They should both look pretty big at this point. Just a slight hole with something like a knife. This helps cook the middle a bit better and doesn't deflate the omelet. Place the lid back down. Fifth- At this point I usually just have to wait about 2-3 more minutes. I then remove the eggs with a rubber spatula and I get a perfect omelet every time!

I bought this to make it easier for my husband to make his own omelets. He loves it! It's easy for him to make and cook what he wants and clean up is a breeze. He sets his own cooking timer and it turns out great every time. The pan is cleaned by wiping it out with a paper towel or dishcloth. No immersion in water. And the best part is, I don't have to cook or clean up. Win/win

Does exactly as advertised! I will say I do wish that there was a little more instruction on what the lights mean on the machine, but it's great otherwise. It does heat the whole thing up so I would worry about small children touching the machine itself after having used it to make the omelets, though. It is very small and doesn't take up a lot of space in the cupboard, and it's very cute with a pretty color to it! The omelets themselves always come out fluffy and delicious (once I figured out when I was supposed to take them out) and they save me so much time! I only took a star off due to the lack of clear instructions/markings, and my poor burned fingers from the outside of the machine.

Off all the "stuff" you can buy these days, rarely am I surprised at a product that does exactly what it advertises. THIS ONE DOES! I am an athlete who likes eggs daily but not the challenge of prepping and cooking and then cleaning up....I am lazy. This makes perfect eggs in 10 minutes. The prep is simple. The clean up is a damp cloth. And the eggs are cooked to absolute perfection. Bravo to Holstein. You actually know what you are doing.

The Holstein Omelet maker is much like a waffle maker, but smaller and hardly constructed as well. After several uses I have developed some opinions about it, both good and bad. The Holstein Omelet Iron is certainly not the answer to making the perfect omelet, but what it does produce is almost certain to be accepted by the kids, and is unique and tasty, and fun to eat. The omelet really doesn't resemble an omelet that's made on a griddle or in a pan, and is more likely to be found on the breakfast menu at a McDonalds or some other take-out breakfast place. With some imagination, one can turn out an egg, cheese, and bacon omelet that can serve as an entire breakfast. But the results are second to a conventional omelet and it really takes more effort to make using the Holstein than simply rolling up an omelet on the griddle. But, who wants to fire up the Blackstone for one omelet? Probably nobody. But then again, using a frying pan would be quicker and easier than using the Holstein Omelet maker. The omelet maker is still more fun, and it's probably all up to how well your conventionally made omelets turn out. My first use was an immediate hit simply because I followed the directions exactly, and everything turned out well. On my second attempt however, I forgot some of the directions and ended up with egg all over the inside bottom shell of the omelet maker and all over the kitchen counter. This could be problematic enough for some people to either return it or throw the omelet maker away since the egg will harden and contaminate the inside of the bottom shell. However, the bottom plate can be removed for cleaning. This is not advised and you might wish you had never started. Doing so will also likely null and void any warrantees on the Omelet maker. Just be sure the omelet maker is unplugged from the power source so at least you can't be electrocuted. All of that nonsense can be avoided simply by following the directions listed in the Holstein Omelet Maker Manual: Rule #1, follow the directions exactly and you should get excellent results. If not, then read Rule #1 again. Rule #2, This iron is HOT! Only touch and lift the lid by the painted surfaces using an oven mitt. The top piece of chrome metal is also very HOT! and takes a long time to cool down after turning off the power. Avoid touching it! Rule #3, Never pour more than two eggs into one mold. This will allow for proper expansion without any of it running over the outside edges of the iron. Rule #4, This is not a toy and some kids are smart enough to learn how to use it correctly. I would caution that unless they can follow directions perfectly and are very mindful that this omelet maker can burn them, then it is better to store it out of sight and it is only operated by an adult. I also spent some time on how the design could be improved. This is far from being a professional piece of cooking equipment. With a little more thought in regard to what could go wrong, one additional provision in construction might prevent any overflow from the mold to run into the bottom shell. A built-in molded disk of high-temperature silicone situated under the bottom mold and creating a seal around the outer edge might be the fix to prevent liquid seepage into the bottom shell, but will probably still spill onto the kitchen counter.

This product does, indeed, make excellent omelettes albeit they are a bit on the small side. It would be fine for one person but the size might be a bit skimpy for two people. The omelettes come out perfectly and they are nice an fluffy - very tasty with the additions. I use cheese and onions with either some spinach or some bean sprouts. There is more than enough for one person but here is the problem. It is barely enough for two people. It is fine if you use 2 eggs and add other ingredients but that means that each omelette will be made with just one egg. Three (3) eggs is OK if you use no other ingredients. For one person, using one side for eggs and the other side for frozen hash browns, it would probably be just fine as long as that person is not a very big eater. It would not be fine, however, for say a teenager or a young adult male. The portions are going to be too small in that case. If an adult couple is planning to go camping and use this devise in an RV or camper, they are probably going to need two of them. It takes about 6 minutes or so to cook the omelette and a side of hash browns. This food is going to get cold if you wait another 6-7 minutes to cook the food for the second person in round 2. If two people want to sit down together and eat breakfast at the same time, it would be best to bring along two of these devises. It would be fine if the couple is going to cook the two omelettes in this devise and use a second item, such as a frying pan or electric griddle to make the hash browns or pancakes or whatever the people are going to cook to serve with the omelettes. The omelettes it makes are really nice BUT this is not the item to buy for purposes of serving hearty eaters. If you are going to be using this devise to make omelettes for persons with hearty appetites, plan to also bring along or use at home a large frying plan - electric or stove top - to make lots of hash browns or lots of pancakes to go with the omelettes.

Easy to use, omelet come out great! We use 2 large eggs on each side, and we whisk in some water to make them fluffy.
