Can't make an omelette in my all-clad pan because of sticking

Can't make an omelette in my all-clad pan because of sticking - Ball of raw dough placed on table sprinkled with flour near rolling pin dishware and measuring cup in kitchen on blurred background

I have an all-clad pan that I have used many times for scrambling eggs. Usually there is no issue with sticking. Recently, I've tried to make an omelette in the pan by sautée-ing the vegetables first. Afterwards, I pour on the eggs. I've found that if the eggs go under the vegetables, it will stick to the pan. Any way to get around this?

It also happens to me sometimes, what I suggest you do is spread oil uniformly on the pan and make sure you pour the egg in the middle of the pan. If the pan has oil on all sides it does not matter if you add the vegetables first or later as topping on the egg.

There is also a way out, pour the egg first, adjust flame of the burner to low and add the vegetables on the egg. As the base gets hard enough that you can turn it on the pan, do it quickly and cook the vegetables attached with the half cooked omelette. Then enjoy eating the omelette...

How do you keep eggs from sticking to all clad?

Here are the steps below that you should follow and cook egg omelet or scrambled eggs without any sticky mess!
  • In a clean stainless steel pan, add 1 tbsp of coconut oil.
  • Heat the pan on low to medium heat, till the oil melts and you start seeing light smoke.
  • Tilt the pan so that the oil is applied all around the pan.


    • How do you keep an omelette from sticking to a stainless steel pan?

    Make sure the pan is fully heated before adding any butter or oil. And make sure the oil or butter is hot before adding the food. Also, a good skillet like this one won't ever be as perfectly nonstick as a true nonstick finish pan. You will get little bits of food and scraps left over in the pan after cooking.

    Answer 2

    Moving the vegetables around is going to disrupt the uniformity of the layer of oil on the pan, which you are going to need for something like an omelette in an aluminum pan. Or even just having the vegetables there, probably absorbing some of the oil and releasing water, is going to do the same.

    You will probably have to saute the vegetables separately, and add them in later, instead of the method you are using now.

    Answer 3

    I had the same experience. Now, I do exactly as you do, but with one difference. After I sauté the veg, I remove it from the pan, add a pat of butter (or a slick of oil) and swirl to recoat the bottom and sides of the pan. I pour in the whipped eggs, give the pan quite a few hard shakes to aerate the eggs, and then add the saued vegetables.
