This is called a TRUCK-DRIVERS omelet... I make these all the time using my propane cooker in the truck... they are GREAT.. best part about it,... is in a truck-stop, its gonna cost you about 8 bucks.. cooking in the truck costs me about 1 buck... Show some more like these.. I need all the tips I can get..
@TiffanyChoable It is pretty funny to see people get really mad and leave a nasty comment. I appreciate them watching the video nonetheless. Let me know how you make out with your omelette.
Sorry to say this, but that's not an omelet, that's a stirred and boiled egg. An omelet, by definition, needs to be fried, otherwise the taste is different, the texture is different, it's a different meal. Not saying an egg boiled in a bag isn't tasty, but you can't compare this to an omelet. And it looks horrible too, no way it's perfect. Also, can we use even MORE plastic in our lives? We're running out of that, you know...
have we become so horrible at cooking that a boiled egg in a plastic bag is now considered the PERFECT omelet? What happened to peoples standards? Last I checked a good omelet was browned in a pan with butter/oil to the point it was done on the bottom but not the top and then folded.
@vevoscksballs It's much healthier to cook an omlette this way because it has no butter/oil. It's not about being horribe at cooking, it's about cooking healthier.
Just so people can relax... Ziplock bags are polyethylene; Which is a very hardy plastic. As long as you don't burn it, you won't get any of those potentially nasty hydrocarbons (carbohydrates you don't eat). Boiling water will weaken the bag a bit, but it won't leech strange chemicals into your food. NOTE: I'm not sure what the zippers are made of.. but the simple clear sandwich ziplock bags should be totally fine.
@Chakaspuffdude No worries, no offense taken - I made this video years ago and i appreciate the people that are still watching it. Hopefully you got a laugh! Thanks again.
polyethelene bag to make an omelet? whats the point when you could make one without one and not end with a plastic bag you have to throw in the bin? that is just a waste.
that is not the perfect omelet. i don't see the point in this.
Ten minutes for an omelet is too much. Why don't you invest in a non stick pan and make a French omelet that's done in a few minutes? Check out the omelet videos on Youtube which show the stir and shake technique. It's fun and healthier than cooking in a plastic bag. Plastic isn't really meant for cooking. The chemicals will leech into the egg, and over time it messes up your health.
@blueboywater have you ever had eggs benidict? the eggs in them are poched eggs. I have no clue how to make them but it involves you cracking the egg into a container then holding the container into boiling water with the egg in the water while you are still holding it. This causes the egg white to be cooked and the yolk to be runny
@TheFrenchi23 Yeah, that is one method. Another is to just crack the egg into the water and try to shape it with a spoon. Using something to submerge the egg with would be much easier.
Nice video. Except you forgot to mention how we all die a horrible death after we eat it. The plastic ziplock bag being boiled in hot water? The chemicals come out and go into your so called omelet.
This is a great idea for on those days when you don't want to mess up a pan. Also this would be perfect for camping or hiking type situations, with the alteration of using powdered eggs of course.
There's a whole style of cooking called freezer bag cooking that is like this. Good video, thanks for uploading.
ps don't listen to those morons who are too stupid to see how good an idea this is.
On top of that...the time saved because you can make 12 omelets at once (and save them for later) and still have zero dishes is clear, several commenters don't get that.
The taste by the way, is just the same, load it up with cheese, black beans, or spices, there's no difference from the pan you silly people.
crazy how many people somehow take personal assault to doing this. it's an awesome idea, and there are ZERO official releases as to the chemicals released or danger in using zip lock pags. Zip lock is just covering their butts so they don't get sued. There's a cooking style called Sous Vide that has been using plastics (albiet ones built for boiling) for years.
The way to cook it in a bag, isn't nice to see it, however I must admit that is new and so cool. Don't use oil or butter, mmmm.! You gave me an excellent idea that can work very well to a diet low in calories. I think prove it. Congratulations...!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what if you didn't have a stove? what if all you had were 2 eggs, a plastic bag, and a small fire? not every person is as privileged as you. your retarded ass probably couldn't tell if paula dean cooked it in a bag or on stove. you'd probably eat it all. and get real fat :)
jesus christ, ten minutes of cooking? I could make a real omelet in that time, prep and cleaning included. If you seriously can't make a proper omelet, you probably can't boil water either. Or tie your shoes.
Just learn how to make a proper omelet. It's one of the first things almost every beginner's cookbook teaches, and after maybe two or three of them, you'll have it down pat. I was making traditional omelets when I was six years old for fuck's sake.
*subscribes* Any one that makes a tutorial that will point out it's own flaws, and not pretend to be perfect, is my kinda...."tutorialist?" a smaller bag may be of aid. Also, if you made some sort of apparatus, a tripod or something, to hold the bag...
Not only possibly toxic, but a bad take on a simple yet tasty dish. salt, pepper, butter a frying pan and some finesse are needed to do a good one - i saw none of thosehere. that looks like a yellow plastic turd, and probably feels the same in your mouth. I view this in the same light as someone roasting a trifle - quite absurd...
According to a University of Illinois press release, "I thought it was important to respond to a questionably safe Food Fad, the ZIPLOC OMELET. It is the latest NOT recommended fad. Please... DON'T try this at home. There is still question about the cancer causing breakdown of plastics and their contact with food during cooking. We have contacted the Ziploc company and they replied by telling us that ZIPLOC® brand Bags cannot be used to boil food."
Just wanted to say that we make these with grated cheese, ham, green peppers, onions, etc. and put them in the ziplock bags - then into our cooler for camping!! It makes such an easy breakfast - just pop the pre-filled ziplock bags into the pot of boiling water - and voila!! Gourmet breakfast in the great outdoors!! (The cooking time is about 15 minutes because of the extra ingredients.)
nightowl7777: According to a University of Illinois press release, Ziploc Omelets are not safe to eat. There is still question about the cancer causing breakdown of plastics and their contact with food during cooking. The Ziploc company also stated that you should never use the bags for boiling food.
well then its too plain. Whats an omlette without cheese and stuff. am I supposed to dip it in ketchup? the pan way seema lot easier than bringing water to a boil and keeping an eye on it for 10 minutes. it takes me about 3 minutes to make a pan omelette. sorry but its a bad idea.
Umm...you put food and snacks into ziploc bags, don't you?? You put them in your lunch boxes, bags, etc, and carry them throughout the day....in the sun. The amount of "toxins" released into your food is probably so small, you would have to eat dozens of these ziploc bag omelettes a day for 20 years to have anything happen to you!!
a ziploc in boiling water gets hotter than one in the sun, and who leaves their food out in the sun, does that make any sense? everyone refrigerates it or keeps it in a lunchbox, neither of which options reaches 100*c...
This is really quite slack...Is it really so hard to make a real, soft folded omlette? If you season your pan properly then it will never stick and a little bit of butter never killed anyone.
I was one of the morons who tried this - although the recipe came from Paula Dean. It was delicious and a lot of fun to create when you're having several people over for brunch (or breakfast).
Little did I know that by boiling the Glad or Ziplock bag, you are releasing chemical toxins from the bag onto your food.
Wanna try another way to make an easy omelet for groups evenly and quickly? Put them all into individual ramekins and bake them.
you can get cancer if you look to the left when it rains nowadays. a few bag omelets are not going to kill you. unless you suffocate yourself with the bag for some reason.....or choke on the omelete I suppose.
That plastic is not meant to be heated. I would not do this all the time or ever. I do have friends that do this while camping so they don't make a mess in the pan. I have wondered if there is any other material that is safe to heat that you could use. This plastic when heated will leach all sorts of chemicals into the food.
oh come on. a few ziplock omelets isnt gonna kill anyone. and how much do you think even gets into the omelet? the amount is so small that you probably have to eat like 5 of them every day for the rest of your life to have any effects at all
I would do it in a seal a meal bags for a large group of people! You could make the bags up ahead of time and plop them in the water...everyone could enjoy
bkfst at the same time. No ziplocks. Also, Lauder makes a healthy boil in a bag.
I agree. While in the eyes it may not seem like the plastic melts into the egg, it is possible that under high heat, the plastic leeches into the egg. I wouldn't do this either unless the bag is meant for cooking. A ziploc bag typically isn't meant for cooking.
I'm reticent to use a ziplock bag as the primary food contact surface. As an alternative, I would use an "oven bag," which is also plastic but designed for higher temperatures. Oven bags can be used for turkeys, pot roasts, etc. which have high temperature boiling juices. The only problem with oven bags is that they're not "ziplock" One would have to "twist tie" them which would result in an oddly shaped alternate. To remedy this, I would trim the oven bag to fit inside of the ziplock bag.
And get really fat haha nice video gonna use this!!

This is about as retarded as poaching eggs in cling film. Pretty wasteful and you'd end up with rubbery eggs that taste like shit.

Umm...you put food and snacks into ziploc bags, don't you?? You put them in your lunch boxes, bags, etc, and carry them throughout the day....in the sun. The amount of "toxins" released into your food is probably so small, you would have to eat dozens of these ziploc bag omelettes a day for 20 years to have anything happen to you!!
blueboy11994 2 years ago
a ziploc in boiling water gets hotter than one in the sun, and who leaves their food out in the sun, does that make any sense? everyone refrigerates it or keeps it in a lunchbox, neither of which options reaches 100*c...

This is really quite slack...Is it really so hard to make a real, soft folded omlette? If you season your pan properly then it will never stick and a little bit of butter never killed anyone.

I was one of the morons who tried this - although the recipe came from Paula Dean. It was delicious and a lot of fun to create when you're having several people over for brunch (or breakfast).
Little did I know that by boiling the Glad or Ziplock bag, you are releasing chemical toxins from the bag onto your food.
Wanna try another way to make an easy omelet for groups evenly and quickly? Put them all into individual ramekins and bake them.

you can get cancer if you look to the left when it rains nowadays. a few bag omelets are not going to kill you. unless you suffocate yourself with the bag for some reason.....or choke on the omelete I suppose.

That plastic is not meant to be heated. I would not do this all the time or ever. I do have friends that do this while camping so they don't make a mess in the pan. I have wondered if there is any other material that is safe to heat that you could use. This plastic when heated will leach all sorts of chemicals into the food.
Gumby1974 2 years ago
oh come on. a few ziplock omelets isnt gonna kill anyone. and how much do you think even gets into the omelet? the amount is so small that you probably have to eat like 5 of them every day for the rest of your life to have any effects at all

I would do it in a seal a meal bags for a large group of people! You could make the bags up ahead of time and plop them in the water...everyone could enjoy
bkfst at the same time. No ziplocks. Also, Lauder makes a healthy boil in a bag.

the plastic might melt into the omlet so i would would do this if i were you.
microwave1232 2 years ago
I agree. While in the eyes it may not seem like the plastic melts into the egg, it is possible that under high heat, the plastic leeches into the egg. I wouldn't do this either unless the bag is meant for cooking. A ziploc bag typically isn't meant for cooking.

careful! when you heat polyethelene that much, it can be dangerous to eat what comes out of it. don't do this if you are planning to have children.

I'm reticent to use a ziplock bag as the primary food contact surface. As an alternative, I would use an "oven bag," which is also plastic but designed for higher temperatures. Oven bags can be used for turkeys, pot roasts, etc. which have high temperature boiling juices. The only problem with oven bags is that they're not "ziplock" One would have to "twist tie" them which would result in an oddly shaped alternate. To remedy this, I would trim the oven bag to fit inside of the ziplock bag.

If I actually liked eggs, I would try it with the appropriate precautions. Nevertheless, this is a novel idea.
nickposh77 2 years ago
Great idea! I too was worried about the heating of a ziplock
