Frying pan on what? Most hotels don't have kitchenettes in their rooms.
And how long will it take to feed two dozen hungry students who need to get to the Dome ASAP?

At my college, using both the large griddles (we're talking commercial kitchen griddles here!) at full capacity, you *might* get a dozen or so egg-only omelettes in the first couple of minutes. Then you've got to do the next dozen. Call it 5 minutes all told.

Using the three hot-plate/frying pan combos that would also be available at the same cafeteria, you'd get about 2-3 minutes each time, and 3 at a time. That's about 16-24 minutes for the lot.

Remember, I'm talking about the equipment in a college cafeteria. This stuff is designed to handle lots of food cooking very fast. You get household equipment, or hotel-room equipment, figure half an hour, minimum, to get everyone fed. Especially if you only have one frying pan (in which case, triple the above time...)

And then you get into the "Could I have X ingredient in mine?" scenario, which adds to the total time, and Murphy is sure to pipe up somewhere...

Meanwhile, half the team went to McDonalds or the CNN Center.

If you're going to do eggs, do 'em scrambled, then you get 3 servings or so per panload, and it's as fast or faster than an omelette.

Just saying, there are better options out there, and more practical ones.
