Yay Chicks! :
I was introduced to something a little similar to the tea towel approach, but it was with thick baggies. You scrabble up the eggs, put them in a baggie and, if you like, add stuff that you might put in an omelette (Omelette in a bag, it was called). Then drop the baggie into boiling water. The texture was probably similar, but I can't say I was knocked out by it. Plus, I really don't like the idea of eating out of boiled plastic. The tea towel seems to be a healthier approach.
My grandma was so excited about this recipe for me, since she knows everyone in my house takes their scrambled eggs AND their omelets different...I end up in the kitchen forever...plus, great idea for camping right?...
...
well, let me tell you...DO NOT use dollar store baggies. I am definitely going to try this again...but with higher quality bags. When the wood stove was going a couple of months ago, I brought water to a boil (hubby said maybe it was too hot, compared to how hot water would have gotten on the gas stove...) and put all my carefully filled freezer bags (the recipe says freezer bags, as they are thicker) into the boiling water...within seconds, each bag had melted...all contents floating around the water...and needless to say...I had to make whole other bactch of omelets in the cast iron that night.
Still the concept is kind of neat and would be good for camping if i can perfect it first... Um, NOT melting the bags would be a great start!!
