This is how I cook them.

It's pretty common knowledge for professional cooks[1], they just don't realize what it's called.

That video only references it as a way of verifying temperature, not a cooking technique.

I don't understand the claim that cooks wouldn't know what this would be called.

She says "the proper temperature",.. and then starts cooking with the pan. Thus implying that the pan should be that hot to use it, for cooking.

Your claim was

> Your omelettes will float on a bed of steam.

Due to the effect. Not that the effect can be used to judge hotness of the pan.
