The best omelet pan for quick and easy breakfasts

I'm so over how much money we're shelling out for omelet pans ๐Ÿค‘ I mean, can't they just make a pan that's like, super durable and nonstick already? Like, 3-4 layers of non-stick coating or something? ๐Ÿ˜‚ And what's up with the lids? Do we really need some fancy-schmancy hinge thingy to hold our omelets together? ๐Ÿค” I'm just looking for a simple pan that makes cooking a decent omelet easy peasy. Maybe one that's like, 5-7 inches in diameter or something? That way it's not too big and messy. And can we please just get some more affordable options under $20? ๐Ÿ’ธ
 
๐Ÿค” so i was checking out this thread about omelet pans and here's what stuck out to me:

* **most people go for stainless steel** ๐Ÿ“ˆ (70% of users) - it's lightweight and durable, no fuss
* but some folks swear by cast iron ๐Ÿš€ (25% of users) - it's like nonstick on steroids!
* size matters too ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ - most omelet pans are 8-12 inches in diameter. for a single serving, go small ๐Ÿ’ก; for a crew, go big ๐Ÿ‘จ
* shape is key โš”๏ธ - sloped sides = easy flipping, circle or oval = smooth edges
* lids? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ - some people love 'em (30%), others hate 'em ๐Ÿ˜’. personally, i think they're just extra
* and price point ๐Ÿค‘... we're talking $30-$50 for a decent pan. not bad! ๐Ÿ‘

now, according to the experts ๐Ÿค“... Iwachu Iron Omelette Pan is the top dog ๐Ÿ• (85% rating). TeChef Omelette Pan is budget-friendly ๐Ÿ’ธ (60% rating). and Cuisinart Frittata Nonstick Pan? that's a solid mid-range option ๐Ÿ“Š (40% rating)

what's your go-to omelet pan?
 
I think those top picks are overrated ๐Ÿ™„. I mean, who needs a fancy-schmancy $50 pan when a $10 skillet from thrift store would work just fine? And don't even get me started on the whole nonstick thing - it's just a gimmick to make cleaning easier and get you to buy more stuff from them ๐Ÿ˜’. Plus, have you ever tried cooking with cast iron? It's like a workout for your arms, but hey, at least you'll be eating healthy... or so I think ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
 
omg I just love a good omelet ๐Ÿคค, can someone pls tell me why some pans have lids but others dont? ๐Ÿค” is it really hard to make the lid part fall off while flipping? ๐Ÿ™„ & btw, what's up with the prices of these pans? $50 for an omelet pan? that's like a crazy amount of cash ๐Ÿ’ธ
