I NEED an omelet pan!!!. . .How will this work for a one or two person omelet? I have a 12" and 14" Joyce Chen wok and they've been GREAT for stir-fr

the sides are very steep and the bottom only about 3 inches in diameter, so not a great omelet pan...a great stir fry pan, but wouldn't think a great omelet solution.

I don't know why it wouldn't work. I scramble eggs in mine should work fine for omelets too.

No I use it in a 10" pan a lot and it's fine. It's great for flipping in a small pan because you can lift the omelet completely out of the pan to turn it over.

It takes 9 to 10 miinutes to cook the omelets. We usually make two at a time and they turn out great. Hope this helps.

It cooks one omelet at a time. You start cooking your omelet in the bottom pan. When the omelet is almost set, you put the top pan on to close, then flip so that it cooks on the other side. The short handles on the pans fit together. The set closes and fits well and comes with instructions and a short recipe book. Each pan can also be used individually for something other than a frittata.

I bought it for my sister a couple months ago and saw it in action last week. It's about the size of a large skillet. You could probably do tagine for 4 at most in there. Very nice unit!

We've used our 14" skillet on it and it worked beautifully; that's the largest pan we own -or need. Needless to say, everything down to a 4" saucepan has worked equally well.

I make omelets in both size pans and they do slide out very easily, cleans effortlessly, a great product for sure.

Yes, the pan is big enough to hold stir fry meat and vegetables for 4-5 people. However, the surface doe't not stand hi heat......the non stick surface showed bubbles under hi heat which is essential for stir fry. I am afraid the surface will break while stir-frying...:(

Not yet, but from the looks of it, most of the common pans are a bit wider (to as wide as a fried egg) in diameter and a bit shallow. Though I reckon you can improvise a bit by putting in less batter and they'll turn out to be "mini-sized". Thank you for asking that question - gave me an idea to try that as well in the takoyaki pan.

Sorry I was quite wrong. I used a pair of calipers and it mikes out at 1mm exactly. This seems correct for a wok though. 2mm+ would be more a "skillet" and too heavy to lift. It is not flimsy, pretty solid. Sorry I hope this is helpful.

My recipe is enough for a full pan...either the pan that makes 6 or the petite 12 pan...I'm such a fan of popovers we have both!

I only have the skillet sized one, and have given three to relatives as presents. I love it too! It cooks about 3 times faster than my larger Fagor pressure cooker, and is absolutely perfect for cooking smaller quantities since it's just my husband and I. It's fine for entrees for four people, and soups and stews for six or so. Less water because it's smaller. I hope this helps.

It's NOT a TYPICAL omelet pan ... thats ALL the difference, this works as it`s being designed, to provide fine egg Roll's of a quite thin layer of scrambled egg's that is to be filled with several or various different fillings. To myself and many other satisfied customers it's GREAT and YES very different idea of omelets in size, texture, presentation, flavor and specially easy & fast to do and serve. HIGLY RECOMMENDED ...

Regular is perfect for 2 people, it works great for virtually anything you want to cook. Bigger is always better. Especially better for tall stuff with a foil tent.

I bought the 14" All Clad Stainless Steel fry pan. The measurement is across the top of the pan. I cook for two and three people and I need a 14" fry pan to cook 4 pieces of chicken thighs at once. Or to cook and turn 4 pancakes. The 8" pan is very small and I would say appropriate for just one piece of chicken or a very small pancake.

If you are able - invest in metal utensils for the wok. I got them because my wok had some kind of treated bumpy finish. I don't like them myself, when stir frying it is the policy to scoop and flip and move them food around especially when you start with meat. These are not thin enough to get under the food properly so it makes the cooking actually harder.

I've made awesome omelettes. The sides are very vertical, but it has not hampered me at all because the surface is so non-stick.
