Which skillet did you buy?

Have you ever tried a Japanese rectangular omelet (tamagoyaki) pan, called a
tamago? I used to have a very good American-made one, heavy non-stick aluminum,
roughly 10" x 5", with a triangular ridge across the center, and a fitted
plastic spatula for rolling the omelet out. I'd use it every new year's day for
our annual brunch, cranking out a hundred or so omelets, and they work great.

I don't like omelets myself, so I eventually gave it away, and have regretted it
since.

Here's an example:

and here's a cheap one sold in the US:

BTW, have you any experience with Timeless Wines in Winchester? Thanks...

Puerto Rico...)
