One omlet maker I had a while back was a half-moon-shaped container that
had the closure on the rounded sides and what passed for a hinge on the
other side. Something like this could be made from ceramics. The
difficult part would be the hinges though these wouldn't be impossible.
A way to insure those hinges keep working after the ceramic comes out of
the kiln is to wrap the pin assembly that goes through the rings before
the rings are ever made and secured to the other part of the omlet
container. The paper is left on the pin or pins as the ceramic goes
into the kiln then the kiln burns that paper out of the hinges. Because
the paper was wrapped around the pin (maybe wrap two or three
thicknesses), the rings after they got dried and fired will remain
larger than the pin or pins and that's how the container can open and
close if it were made along this design. Another possibility would use
more ceramic and no hinges of any kind. It would have a single type
flat bowl and a container that the bowl slides into sideways, though
that might be a bit messy if turned over during cooking process. The
outside container would be a flat five sided box with one side open into
which the bowl got placed. Unfortunately, I haven't got access to a
ceramics studio nor do I own one otherwise I'd make a few of these for
members of this list.

I'd like glass, too, but the thing I like about the Tupperware one is that things don't
stick if my friend follows the direction. Mine I had from somewhere else does stick.
<g< But I'm sure anything that works is great; beats not having omelets if we don't
want to cook them another way. <g<

I found an omelet maker at Wal-Mart and it is great in the microwave. I think
it was around $7 or so, but I don't remember for sure now. I would love to find
one made out of glass or ceramic instead of plastic. The concept works really
well, but I don't like cooking in plastic because of health concerns.
Meanwhile, I am using the plastic version. I didn't know Tupper Ware had one
too, but do know their version is more expensive than the one I found.

Some blind folks do quite nicely making omelets. I'm not one of them, however. I took a
cooking class once that promised "perfect" omelets. I told the instructor mine
wouldn't be perfect. Oh yes it will, he said. Well, ... it wasn't. <g< But some folks
are great at it.
There's this new Tupperware omelet maker for the microwave that is really neat.
So long as you don't use a lot of fat, it just slides out of the pan. You
start with the veggies on the bottom, and you add the cheese after the omelet
is done. (the heat melts the cheese) When I get mine, I'll give directions,
but I have a sighted friend that loves hers.
