What is the name of the gesture/hand motion used to flip food in a pan?

For example, if you flip a fried egg in a pan without utensils. (only using a hand motion)



What is this gesture/motion called?



Thanks :]What is the name of the gesture/hand motion used to flip food in a pan?Actually...if done correctly it is rolled not flipped.........You want the egg to roll over the curve in the pan, not flip in the air........What is the name of the gesture/hand motion used to flip food in a pan?I believe it just called "flipping" or as you said flip. Watch how the chef flipped the omelet.
