Omelette

Omelette is a cookable food item produced from Raw Egg in Oxygen Not Included. Each kilogram of Omelette provides 1600 kcal and is typically made either by processing Raw Egg in an Electric Grill or by heating Raw Egg to at least 71°C, which causes it to transform into Omelette automatically. Omelettes also appear as potential supply rewards: after a saved game has run for 6 cycles, there is a chance to receive 3 units (totaling 8400 kcal) of Omelette from a Printing Pod or a Supply Pod.

Omelettes are a dense, high-calorie food source useful for midgame food planning. Crafting an Omelette in an Electric Grill requires one kilogram of Raw Egg (which itself comes from critter breeding or wild critter harvesting). Because Raw Egg can be converted by temperature alone, automated production lines can be built to minimize duplicant labor: conveyor rails and Auto-Sweepers can move Raw Egg into a heated chamber maintained at or above 71°C where the eggs cook themselves into Omelettes without direct cooking work.

Practical notes and strategies:

• Using temperature conversion to cook Raw Egg is ideal for large-volume or unattended production where duplicant time is constrained. Ensure transport and storage prevent spoilage or freezing before the eggs reach the heated cook zone.
• Electric Grill production is appropriate when you want duplicant control over cooking or need to keep eggs at safe temperatures. Each Electric Grill job consumes the Raw Egg and produces Omelette at the stated caloric yield.
• Omelettes obtained from Printing Pods are delivered in stacks of three units and can serve as an early to midgame caloric boost or emergency reserves.
• Because Raw Egg is the sole ingredient, scaling Omelette production ties directly to critter breeding or critter-sourced eggs; plan ranching and critter food sources accordingly to maintain steady Omelette output.
• Automating transport with Conveyor Rails and Auto-Sweepers reduces labor cost for high-throughput cooking operations, letting duplicants focus on higher-priority tasks.
