omelette question......

[chrissum]

I was watching the Food Network and they had the Guinness World Records holder of omelette making on, he said the perfect omelette has 2 eggs and 2 tbsp of water in it, my question is what is the water for, or do? my grandmother used to put a little milk in her scrambles but i never heard of using water, thanks!

I think water actually makes for a fluffier omelet than milk. My mother used milk, too, but I read that water was better some years ago.

I do this all the time. It does make a fluffier egg. I learned this from my mom. just 1-2 tbsp cool water.

my mom does this also for scrambled eggs and omelets. The water helps steam the eggs, making them fluffier!
