Default making an omelette

Recently when I try to make an omelette the egg sticks to my pan. Am I doing something wrong or is it just that the coating on my pan has worn out and I need to buy a new pan?

Is your pan hot enough? Too hot? Do you use any fat at all? Please tell us what's in your egg mixture.

I know many people swear by a well-seasoned cast iron pan, but a no-stick pan is best for most of us. I use one and just wipe it out when I'm done cooking my eggs (whites only, for the record). I wash it only occasionally and nothing ever sticks.

Hi Toots,

As Mez sez, y'gotta give us more info. Heat that you're using, the type and amount of oil/fat, do you put eggs in after or before pan is heated ...

Maybe this will help:
