Hi, good to see your tip - its a common practice in India to cut onion in to half, and sprinkle oil on the hot pan, and hold the white side of onion down and rub it over the hot pan, for a non-stick pan - we traditionally don't use Teflon coatings - this is the way we are known to be creating non-stick on the fly on demand :)

For an old chef, and a homeless veteran, I appreciation your video. I only have one hint. You spent a long minute scrubbing your pan. I use the exact same pan. I heat mine up dry, after eggs have stuck, when it just barely starts smoking I pour in water. The sizzling water along with a green pad (I use the spatula I cooked with to run the green pad around the pan). I'll add Dawn dish soap if it was a greasy dish. I'll get the pan cleaned easily with that minimum of water and much faster than all that scrubbing. Learned that in the U.S. Army!

Try this. Take the clean pan cold. Spray it with any one of the "non-stick" oil coatings or pour a little any cooking oil of your choice onto the surface. Then take a partial piece of a paper towel folded up in a small square and rub the pan cooking surface with the oil soaked square of paper towel. Rub into the surface nice and firmly. I even do this on my ceramic or "teflon" pans. I rub the oil practically out, and when I go to cook I spray it again as per the usual. My theory is that after a while the pan collects small dings and surface blemishes that you can't even see and they become the little spots that the food catches on. It works for me. I over explained the process just to be concise. I take the pan, give it a spray, rub the oil around with a moderate pressure, then apply the regular amount of spray oil and then use the pan as normally. Boom, nothing sticks.

Yesterday I took some green onions and I chopped them up and stir-fried them in my wok, removed them and then I stir fried my chicken and to my amazement, none of it stuck! I added the onions to the wok for a new flavor and cleanup was a breeze. You now have a new subscriber.

After cooking or burning food in her pan soak it overnight in cold water.If she catches you!!!! buy yourself a cheap iron wok or skillet from an Asian outlet, wash and dry it thoroughly dry it, heat it up DRY to very high heat (rotate it evenly), while still warm oil all of the pan inside (up the sides and over the edges), use a bland vegetable oil. Wipe off excess with a paper towel, and leave to cool, store cool and covered.It's now seasoned.Iron will rust if your pan is not used regularly, wipe the rust off, wash again and season again.There is a HUGE market for designer label/ celebrity chef endorsed pans that will separate you from your cash!

I fry 4 eggs every day in a thin stainless pan with no seasoning or conditioning using just a few drops (15-20) of veg: oil coating with no sticking problem. The trick is a very precise balance of amount oil and heat. I heat the pan evenly to a medium heat and let it cool down if it is overheated. Put the eggs in (if it makes simmering noise it is too hot and will stick). Flip eggs over as soon as the eggs white becomes firm and colour changes from transparent to white. Fried eggs with yolk intact are most difficult, while Omelets are a lot easier to fry. Took me about 1 week to perfect this. A lot easier if you do not mind using more oil. But with minimum oil heat is the key factor.

You aren't supposed to heat those dry (at least I think) people had stopped using cast iron and stainless steel for awhile there. I think people are coming back to simple cooking, ingredients and cookware. The art needs to be taught again. Im 35 and I definitely was taught by my mother to add butter or oil to the pan and let it get hot/warm up before cooking in it. I also remember the first time we got a Teflon/non stick pan. Everything was super oily because we didn't need to use as much oil in the non stick pan. Its a learning experience.

I'm interested to try your onion method. I also use cast iron pans which has seasoned over time and love the non-stick nature of them. Have been seasoning a new wok on an induction unit made specifically for the wok, in much the same way with high heat cold oil and then after a few repetitions with the oil and wiping I seared some onions. Then after they had seared for a while added garlic and ginger and some carrot. My wok is very well seasoned and easily cleans with hot water after stir frying even with the addition of noodles to the dish. I use my wok brush just to make sure it is clean but hardly have to apply any pressure to any little bits. Going to try you idea on my stainless pans.

How long does the nonstick last? I’m also assuming we have to let it cool down completely first, before the first use, per most vids I’ve seen on this.

Heat the pan, half cut a red onion, dip cut portion in oil, rub it on the pan and cook it. Wont stick.. This is what we, the Indians do to make dosa..

I practically gave up making Onion- Chilly - Uttapam because of the problems. Have dumped ALL my Teflon coated utensils because of fragility AND toxicity. I will certainly try and see if this trick works on heavy steel pan with thick alluminium bottom. If it does then I can start using my 45 year old Farberware pans again. Thanks. BTW red onions are widely available year round, not the raw variety.
@pmshah19464 жыл бұрын
I can't believe this. I have been using these utensils for regular cooking and not what they were meant for. After reading this I tried something. I chopped up half an onion and a couple of green chillies. Heated some oil and sauteed a small quantity of chopped onions and then poured in the batter mixed with rest of the onions and chillies. Lo and behold the whole thing separated like a charm, edge to edge ! It would have been a major mess and disaster otherwise !!! Thank you so much.

I just bought a Hestan Nanobond pan and have had some success with making eggs slide off using butter but also have had them stick horribly, probably due in part to temperature but this technique here I've known for a long time using it in my carbon steel woks but never did I think it applied to stainless...I will be giving this a try....thanks for the vid

Really? You eat scorched onions in Taiwan? You can get the same non-stick benefits from cutting an onion in half and rubbing it all over a hot oiled pan. Then you can still cut/eat the onion.

Green onions are rich in a powerful sulphur-containing compound called allyl sulphide. This at the high oil temperature could be responsible for creating a protective coating on the not-so-anticorrosive surface of any grade of stainless steel and giving it the magical non-stick effect.
@ChristineCushing5 жыл бұрын
Bless you for offering some other perspective. I never expected people to get so downright vicious about this little experiment . For me and this particular pan, it really does have an affect and I appreciate your detailed explanation. I go with Socrates on this one " the only thing I know for sure , is I know nothing"
@madthumbs15645 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure the onion is needed. I do spatula free omelettes (like Julia Child) in my pan and all I do is season them on stove top with a drop or two of oil and use butter for the cook. I do understand the corrosive aspect of onions as they're often used to force a patina (often beautiful) on carbon steel knives. Maybe this is like seasoning with a surface that can hold it better (like a scratched up scoured pan) ? Simply stove top seasoning lasted at least 4 times with washing in detergent between.
