Awesome, now I dig out my steel pan out of the cabinet cache that I threw it when I got tired of food sticking on it all the time.Thank you Simon. Rds from Finland.

Thanks Simon. Should probably invest in a stainless steel pan. I have cast iron ones that I love. I’ll try your technique on those.

nothing wrong with cast iron. Love them

this method is not for cast iron. A well seasoned cast iron pan won't stick at any temp

When you fry an egg, is your egg cold or at room temperature? I am curious if that makes a difference. Thank you!
@simongault58044 ай бұрын
Egg temperature? Not a big deal! For perfect, non-stick fried eggs in your stainless steel pan, focus on these two key factors: Pan Temperature: Heat the pan over medium heat until a flick of water sizzles and evaporates quickly. This ensures it's hot enough. Fat Management: Use a good amount of butter, oil, or a combination to coat the pan's surface and create a barrier between the egg and the metal. Here's a quick tip: Crack the egg into a small bowl first for easy transfer to the hot pan. Happy Frying!

Can you use a IR thermometer and wait for it to reach the desired temp?
@simongault5804 Жыл бұрын
Great question! Absolutely, using an IR thermometer is an excellent way to precisely measure the pan's temperature. For achieving that non-stick effect, you're generally aiming for a pan temperature of around 350°F (175°C) to 400°F (205°C). It takes the guesswork out of the equation and ensures you're hitting that non-stick sweet spot. P.S. For anyone who doesn't know what an IR (Infrared) thermometer is, it's a gadget that lets you measure temperature from a distance without any contact-super handy for kitchen use. Cheers, Simon

A hot smoking pan sets my smoke alarm off. The apartment managers do not allow adjustments. If I could reach the alarm, we thought a plastic cover might work. Don't know.
@simongault58042 ай бұрын
Ah, the joys of apartment living! 😂 Smoke alarms always seem to go off at the worst times. If only they appreciated the art of perfect pan-searing! As for the plastic cover idea, it sounds like you might end up with a smoke alarm that’s well-protected but still very loud! 😆 Maybe try opening a window and cranking up the fan to help with the smoke. Or, you could always invite the apartment manager over for a cooking lesson - they might reconsider those adjustments after tasting your food! 🍳🔥 Stay smoky and keep those culinary adventures going!

What temperature should the pan surface reach approximately?
@simongault58049 ай бұрын
Hi Manuel, Awesome question! The effect you're referring to typically occurs at temperatures significantly above the boiling point of water, which is around 190°C to 240°C (375°F to 460°F). However, it's important to note that the exact temperature can vary based on several factors, such as the surface material of the pan, the surface roughness, and the purity of the water. Hope this information helps. Cheers, Simon

Would it work if I did not use any fat at all? Thank you
@simongault58049 ай бұрын
Hi Alien, Cooking without any fat in a stainless steel pan will not inherently create a non-stick surface. Stainless steel pans do not have a natural non-stick coating like Teflon-coated non-stick pans. Therefore, cooking without oil, butter, or another type of fat increases the likelihood of food sticking to the pan. I hope that is of help. Cheers, Simon
