I love omelettes.

We have 2 non-stick omelettte pans.

There is a tremendous difference between the 2 pans when it comes to
flipping an omelette.

The flat bottom pan wants to hold the omelette as if by suction.

The other pan, a Farberware, has a waffle pattern on the bottom and it
releases the omelette easily.

Has anyone else experienced this effect?

No, but I have found that if I am too cautious with the heat the omelet
will stick. Also, if you are using any butter, try either adding a drop
or two of canola or other nontasting oil, or using clarified butter or
ghee.

Maybe I've led a sheltered life but I've never flipped an omelette. When
it's starting to set I fold one half over the other. I do have fun flipping
pancakes but am safer than a friend's mum who managed to get one into the
coal bucket (this was England in the 60s and coal was the main fuel for
heating).

I agree. One doesn't actually flip an omelet. It is bounced up the pan
until the far 1/3 flops over, and then delivered to the dish with a
pause to wait while the near 1/3 flops over that, and the product is
inverted onto the plate, during which operation had been held nearly
vertically.

I do sometimes cheat and nudge the near 1/3 with a spat to show it
respect and the path it should take.
