    Bodybuilders, Powerlifters and Olympics use extra virgin because it contains more EFA's and is better for the body. We could care less about taste; we're paying for something the body needs badly.

    Haven`t tried this myself but it sure sounds like a great idea! :)

    ZIPLOC OMELET

    (This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that 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 (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.

    Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.

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

    Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes [we did 15 minutes]. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

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

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



    Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 15 minutes, you've got a nice omelette for a quick breakfast!!!?

    What a great idea! Wish I had known of this when my six kids were little, and going to school. Would have been SO much easier and faster than the "traditional" way of cooking omelettes!!

    Hey SC:)

    That is such a cool recipe. It will work great for my family.


    I always poach my eggs. As of late, I have been putting a small amount of water, butter/olive oil, s+p...in sauce pan, cook the egg directly in the water. No frying eggs anymore for me:) You just wrapped all that up and made it even easier and cleaner.
    Thanks!!!!!

    Herbal Oils & Butters are easy to make and are wonderful additions to the chef's kitchen. Unfortunately, it has come to light recently that oils containing herbs that are not stored properly provide the perfect environment for the very harmful toxin we know as botulism. Commercial herb/oil preparations contain substances that inhibit the growth of these toxins, but we at home do not have these resources. The beautiful bottles filled with herbs don't have to be history, however. You can still have that fragrant and good looking holiday oil, but it has to be stored properly in the refrigerator, and for only 3 weeks maximum. Having said that, please read below for the safest way to make and store herbal gourmet oils

    While the idea for ziploc omelets is neat, I've always had reservations about heating/cooking foods in plastic. I'm a glass and/or stainless cookware gal. :yes2557:
