Omelet makers remove the need to perfect your folding and flipping abilities to produce this tasty meal. Many have light indicators to let you know the heat is at the optimal level, while others take less traditional approaches to cooking your eggs. We have gathered a collection of the best omelet makers to make your morning meal so easy that you won’t mind cooking it before you’ve had a caffeinated beverage.
Holstein Housewares Omelet Maker
Breakfast or brunch for two
This option from Holstein can make omelets for two people at once. Just add a bit of cooking spray to the plates once the preheating beep has sounded to ensure easy removal, then pour in your ingredients. Each side of the tray has room for two eggs and other fillings and will both cook in about 10 minutes.
Cuisinart Breakfast Express Omelet Maker Waffle Iron
Double up on your breakfast options
Why choose between omelets and waffles when you could cook both at the same time with this option from Cuisinart? You'll hear a beep when the surfaces are hot enough for cooking, as well as a beep when cooking has completed. The two knobs at the front of the unit let you adjust the doneness for both foods, and the nonstick surface cleans easily when you're finished.
Lekue Omelet Maker
Microwave-safe option for speedy omelets
In as little as two and a half minutes, you could be enjoying a delicious omelet. Beat your eggs, toss in your extra ingredients, and pour them into this microwaveable omelet maker. This maker doesn’t require any oil or butter so you can eat healthier, but you can add either if you want to.
Dash Express Omelet Maker
A pop of color with a small footprint
Small enough to fit in tiny kitchens, RVs, and dorm rooms, this omelet maker can still cook two portions at once. The cooking surface heats up quickly, but there's also a heat indicator light, so you'll know when it’s ready. There are no settings to learn since there are no buttons on the unit, and powering on or off is controlled with the plug.
TECHEF Frittata and Omelet Pan
A slightly more traditional approach
If flipping omelets is your biggest challenge, and you don't want to sacrifice that pan-fried texture, consider this TECHEF pan. Place a bit of oil or butter on each side, then add most of the eggs to one side and a small amount to the other. Pile in the toppings on the side with more eggs and then flip the small side on top. That’s it!
