Julia throws down a 20-second omelet, disses "status pans"
Julia throws down a 20-second omelet, disses "status pans"
Julia Child, on her cooking show The French Chef, eschewed pretension in favor of demystifying classical technique for the American home cook. In this clip from her 1962 season, you really only have to watch the first 30 seconds to realize what a great chef she was. After that first 20-second omelet, she breaks down the method to creating a fast lunch with two eggs in a hot pan, tossing aside both a highly polished aluminum "status pan" and a gadgety soufflé omelet pan in favor of a regular old non-stick.
In true Julia style, she makes the best use of her equipment. Check it out: She's cooking on an electric range. I'd like to dedicate this clip to every whiny home cook who wailed that they couldn't possibly cook well on electric.
