@@CptApplestrudl I guess it’s because the “Pores” of the stainless steel have already closed and sealed by that tim (which gives it the “Non Stick” properties) It’s just so the oil cools down a bit more and isn’t hot as if you were frying chicken, while the surface of the pan remains hot enough to non stick. Once the steel is hot it is way easier to retain the heat then starting with a cold pan…I hope that somehow makes sense… However I’d always recommend using a touch of oil when cooking eggs in stainless cookware, since you can never really get it to “Not stick” a 100% without any oil at all IMO.

Use a higher smoke point "oil" like beef fat or lard...don't use vege oils because you turn them into quasi plastics at heat.You can also use ghee or mct coconut oil_ liquid, not that candle wax looking stuff.

To make the stainless steel nonstick you have to heat it up for 2 minutes or so then check with small drops of water. If the water evaporates then it’s not hot enough , if the water moves around then it’s now nonstick. Don’t add anything in the stainless steel until it’s hot enough.

Hi Jim, adding the water helps new cooks be sure the pan is hot _before_ adding the oil - it's one of the hardest things to get used to when cooking with stainless steel.

Set the heat to medium high (6), try sprinkling water. If it's way cold, the water just sits there as a water drop. If it's a bit too cold, the water sticks to the pan and sizzles. Once you got it hot enough, the water dances around as a ball of water If setting 6 doesn't work after maybe 5-7 mins, try hotter. If setting 6 does work, you could try lower and see if that also works If you're using cast iron, it'll take longer to heat up.

If you’ve used stainless steel before, you’d 110% know oil is NOT enough to keep it non-stick. You need to heat the pan up beforehand to close up the “pores” (since steel is porous) and then the food molecules won’t attach itself as easily + oil helping at that point.

@Sooper35

9 ай бұрын

If you cook with cold oil, your food will stick to stainless steel. Im no scientist but I think the real reason why heating up SS causes it to become nonstick is a combination of the inherent lubricating properties of oil along with the instant denaturing of the proteins as it makes contact with really hot oil. I believe that the latter action creates a barrier of solid proteins that prevent the food from adhering to SS. If you were to do the same test without letting your oil get to smoking point, I can guarantee your eggs will get stuck to the pan.

It works, but it’s super hot. When I add the oil, it burns like a MF 😂
