Actually, a 60 inch pan would take 144-180 eggs, using your ratio for a 10 inch pan, because the surface area of a pan scales quadratically to the radius

@onam3000 2 ай бұрын

Came to comments looking for this, although it would probably take more, as the size of the pan is measured at the top, so a 10 inch pan has roughly an 8 inch diameter cooking surface and one would imagine that the ratio of cooking surface to diameter at top would increase as the radius increases (in fact that's what happens for actual pans existing in real life).

@raerohan4241 2 ай бұрын

Well, the cuisine that survived to modern day under that name was the type mainly done for royalty + nobility. There was a time in England where it was all the rage to have a French chef. There is still "peasant food" in French cuisine, but we don't really know it outside of France. And example people would know is ratatouille - not the version served in the restaurant, but the version served in the flashback to the critic's childhood

I recommend the ATK video which covers some other really helpful tips: - Gently microwave the grated cheese in advance and form into an oblong/rectangle, ready to be laid along the 'spine' of the omelette before folding. - Use a pan with shallow sides for easy rolling. The steeper the sides, the steeper the challenge. - Roll it perpendicular to and away from the handle to make for an easy dismount. This saves you from inverting the pan and for less fiddly folding.

For the 60 inch pan, based on the previous ratios, my best estimate came to around 170 eggs. Though, since the ratios weren't exactly the same, it can vary a bit. I took tha ratio pansize squared over number of eggs (since eggs with a constant thickness scales with pan surface or pansize squared) and multiplied the ratio with desired pansize squared.

Just tried it with some butter I churned up myself with cream from uncle's cow and eggs from grandma's chickens and... it was about the most anticlimactic dish I've made in my life.

The video itself was very informative and it helped me a lot so I only messed up the whole process twice- first time I overcooked the eggs and the second time I tore and undercooked them.
