This is why professional chefs always say heat the pan first. You're saving meals across America with this tip.😊

No music, no dancing, no crazy talking, quirky phrases. No over editing, multiple shots and special effects, just pithy clear direct instructions. Excellent! Nicely done, thank you kindly.

I’ve had stainless steel for 20 years and have never known how to use them properly. Thank you.🙏

This is the Leidenfrost effect.
When the pan is hot enough (but not overly hot), at about 193 °C (379 °F), the water boilson contact and creates a layer of vapor that makes it levitate and not touch the pan. That's what makes food not stick to the pan!
(to my best knowledge, stainless steel pans don't have "pores")

I can't even pretend to know how long it's been since I actually saw something useful on the internet. Until now. Thanks for sharing😊

Thanks for the demonstration! :) a little correction for the reasoning: The "pores" open up, not close, when heated, creating more surface for the cooking oil to steep into. Now for the water test: The reason the water floats is that the pan is so hot, that the water immediately evaporates upon contact, and the escaping steam under the droplet keeps the bulk of the water "afloat". It's called the Leidenfrost effect. That's also what happens to your food, which, along with the "pore" opening helps with the non-stick effect.

Love your clear, non-nonsense presentation style.

Girl, you just FIXED AN ISSUE I've been having for 25 YEARS!!!
I think I love you. ❤

My mom died 4-1/2 years ago. When making Christmas breakfast she would get frustrated and perplexed when the eggs stuck. Every time I make eggs I now know the importance of letting the pan heat up (and when to add the oil), so things don’t stick. Each time cook now I wish I had chance to tell her the secret. Miss you mom.

Wow I didn’t know so many ppl didn’t know this. As a follow up to avoid any confusion you want to get it hot enough to pass this test. That does not mean you have to cook your food that high of heat. Once it passes this test if you don’t want the heat to be that high take it off the burner let it come down slightly and use it. Just always make sure you use this test each time you fire it up. Also please know what kind of stainless steel pan you have. Some can go in the oven, some can’t. Some have designated handles so you can hold it without burning yourself, some don’t 😊

Great tip! That’s the Leidenfrost effect :) The surface is so hot that it “produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly. Because of this repulsive force, a droplet hovers over the surface, rather than making physical contact with it.” (I’m quoting Wikipedia, here).

I learned this saying, "Hot pan, cold oil, food won't stick." This method of the water test is also a good way to test stainless steel.

Thank you so much!!! 63 yrs young and learned something

[Erica-csct]

That's why I never bought stainless steel...bc I didn't want my food to stick. Great

[karmella]

Hum, I have always known to heat my pan first, but apparently, I didn't let it heat up enough! Thank you for that important information 😊

[annak]

"Mercury ball" - PERFECT description!❤

[Mawusi]

I'm old as dirt and never new this Wow. I Appreciate Thank You ❤

[lovelineoutreachministries]

Thank you, girl.I always messed things up in my stainless steel pans. You are saving a lot of people from making that big error. Good job!

[cfaz]

No joke I've been to culinary school I have been a private Chef a personal chef now I own my own restaurant and I just want to say that no one ever teaches you how to heat the pan they just tell you to get it ripping hot😂😂😂 so you're doing a real service here❤

[juliemendoza]

Also the pan should be on medium high. The food will stick again and you need to wait until the pan releases it. Therefore the pan cannot be too high!
