Omelet Pan
A shallow, slope-sided skillet, usually 7 to 10 inches in diameter. A double omelet pan consists of 2 shallow rectangular or semicircular pans attached by hinges. Each pan has a handle. Some purists insist that an omelet pan should be well seasoned, never washed with detergent and used only for omelets. More practical cooks insist that a slope-sided pan with a nonstick coating is fine for omelets and for sauteing, frying, and other purposes.

Organic Eggs
Eggs from hens fed rations having ingredients that were grown without pesticides, fungicides, herbicides or commercial fertilizers. No commercial laying hen rations ever contain hormones. Due to higher production costs and lower volume per farm, organic eggs are more expensive than eggs from hens fed conventional feed. The nutrient content of eggs is not affected by whether or not the ration is organic.
