  While I was looking for a place for the experiment I found this recipe

  Ziplock Omelets

  Haven't tried this but sounds like fun. Got this from a friend, "gonna" give it a try, sure would be an easy way to please everybody!!!!!!

  "ZIPLOC OMELETS" Have you ever heard of this? (This works great! Good for when all your family is together & no one has to wait for their special omelet). Have guests write their name on a quart-size ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.

  Crack 2 eggs (lg or extra-lg) into the bag not more than 2) shake to combine them.

  Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, olives, tomato, salsa, etc.

  Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag & shakes. Make sure to get the air out of the bag & zip it up.

  Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

  Open the bags & the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

  Nice to serve with fresh fruit & coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process & a it's a great conversation piece.

  Make sure you use the heavy duty freezer bags. The sandwich bags will melt in the hot water

  My trick for omelets? I stick 'em on the burner for about 30 se. just ot get the bottom cooked, then I stick them under the broiler for about 3 min. Perfect every time, and they never stick in my cast iron.

  that's a nice idea, but won't they stick at the bag ?

  I really don't know. I guess I will have to try it and see. Which means I need to buy those bags Avi that sounds interesting but I don't have a cast iron pan any more

  ziplock bags are thick heavy duty plastic and so I would see this not sticking at all.....although I can also seeing it not being neat and pretty.

  I don't know....I like a little olive oil and butter....I just wait till those bubbles start to come up.....put the cheese and whatever else in, fold cook around 2 minutes longer, remove from pan...let sit 2 minutes and it's good.
