Holstein Housewares Stainless Steel 4 Section Omelet Maker, Non Stick Coating, Mess Free Cooking, Easy Cleaning, Indicator Lights, Upright Storage & Anti Slip Feet For Quick Meals. 4 Portions, Black

I’ve been very happy with this omelet maker. I use it regularly when I get a hankering for a quick, easy, and delicious omelet, and it does exactly what I bought it for. Instead of dragging out a pan, standing over the stove, flipping eggs, and then dealing with the cleanup afterward, this makes the whole process much simpler. It is especially easy to use. Once it’s ready, I can add my eggs and fillings, close it up, and let it do its job. The omelets come out nicely cooked, and I like that it makes the process feel more consistent than using a frying pan. It is a nice little appliance for those times when you want something better than a bowl of cereal but don’t want to turn breakfast into a full-scale kitchen campaign. Cleanup is another big plus. The non-stick surface makes it easy to wipe down afterward, which is honestly one of the main reasons I keep using it. A kitchen gadget can work great, but if cleaning it is a pain, it usually ends up shoved in a cabinet like it offended somebody. This one has earned its spot because it is simple to use and simple to clean. It is also compact enough that it doesn’t take up much space, which matters if you don’t want your counter slowly turning into an appliance museum. Overall, this is a very handy product for anyone who enjoys omelets and wants a fast, easy way to make them without a lot of mess.

Makes 1 or 2 perfect omelets, easy to use and clean.

This is a dang frittata maker. Don't let nobody tell you otherwise. Granted, I don't fully know what a frittata is (too fancy for my patience), but I'm pretty sure if you pull up a dictionary, this maker will be next to the definition. Or... You can see my humor and just Google it and realize that what comes out of this thing looks mighty similar to what a frittata looks like. I think that has a hand in why some people say this tastes off. It's like an egg quiche without a crust. So, yeah, a frittata. If you go into it with that in mind, you'll be quite pleased with the unit. It sort of steams/cake-ify the eggs and they really are done in about 10 minutes. Cleanup is beautiful, as is prep. I've used it once, so here's some callouts from my trial & error: 1) Definitely don't over fill it. I had some cheese boil out. Nothing major, just made me wonder what was sizzling. O_o 2) The amount of steam/smoke stuff coming out the sides is alarming--your frittata is most likely not burning. But you may want to check. 3) Okay, my bottom burnt and I only cooked it for 9 minutes 20 seconds (I used a timer, I'm not that anal). It seems to have overcooked where the cheese/ham was. 4) It comes out mad thicc, but when the air hits it, it will deflate. It's still about 2" thick even after deflation. 5) Next time, I'll "layer" the ingredients so the eggs goes on the bottom (let it set), fixings in the middle (let it set again) and top it off with the last bit of egg. This is to prevent burned eggies cuz I hate burned eggies. >:( 6) Definitely use some oil. Not because stuff will because stick otherwise, but because I just feel like it's a good practice to oil your non-sticks. Take care of your appliances folks. 7) Tastes like a frittata--I think. Or, just puffy, tasteless egg. :) Don't get me wrong, it's good! It's just not going to taste like a skillet cooked omelet. At least, not without milk. I'll try that next time. 8) Oh, and frittata recipes say to only beat eggs and yolks until they're blended to prevent collapsed frittatas after they're taken out of the oven. I'm going to try this trick next time I make this frittata. I think that's it. Enjoy your frittata maker! :D I do!

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!

Small but great to use

What a bargain. Wasn't sure how well it would work for the price, but was totally surprised! Works great. Easy to prepare omelets or overwell eggs for sandwiches. Cook 7 mins for 2 egg omelet, 2 mins for popped spread out yolk eggs for easy sandwich. Add your cheese to either after cooking, melts in 20 seconds and doesn't stick. Great kitchen tool. Easy cleanup.

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.

The product works well and makes good omelets we did run into a problem with it but were able to resolve with Holstien housewares. They were very understanding to our situation.

Con este aparato puedo cocinar 🍳 un omelette en 10 minutos sin tener q voltearlo, los huevos estrellados quedan de 2 a 3 minutos, tambie he preparado galletas de avena, y el antiadherente es muy bueno. Hay q limpiar el aparto por dentro una vez terminada la cocción de los alimentos con una servilleta.... Me gustó el aparato!!!!

The device operates on 110 volts only

It’s rated for 60Hz/120 V (usually the Americas). This ought to have been mentioned in the product details as it’s likely to burn/blow up if plugged in directly to UK power supplies. The plug is also 2-pin (not 3-pin). Opt for the Tower Deep Fill Omelet maker instead if your country’s power supply is 210-240 Volts.

The product was sold on UK Amazon and charged in Pounds and it was an America appliance and olny works on 110 volts. Useless. The Seller could and put this in the description. Very unhappy.

The outer body gets cracks while making omelette. Could use only once . Return or exchange is a denial. Would rate it minus 1
