The way he describes it: stir it for 5 seconds in the middle of the pan, moving the pan as much as your stirring implement. Hopefully that stirring implement is a little rubber spatula, because then you're supposed to swish the remaining liquid around, and then sweep the edge into a nice circular shape. THEN you wait ten seconds, maybe more. Then there's some simple pan tricks you get to do in order to get it into a nice, neat tri-fold presentation.
The episode title: "Zen and the Art of Omelet Maintenance", because an omelet is not so much about excessively materialistic ingredients, but about a technique that embraces the nature of the ingredients. To that end, you're supposed to start with the eggs and butter at room temperature.
See, I spent all that time taping these Good Eats episodes, so I'm going to use them, dammit!
