    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!

    @gabesmokeymartatom Před 4 lety +51

    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.

    Alternatively, add a table spoon of oil (I only use olive oil) and wipe it all round the pan's surface using a sheet of kitchen roll, then heat the pan for a minute or two until the oil is hot but not smoking and then slide the pan off the heat and let it cool for 2 or 3 muutes. Once cooled it's ready to use e.g. to make fried or scambled eggs or an omelette,, add either a knob of butter or some oil, heat the now cured pan on a low-medium heat, when up to heat / butter melted add the eggs and you'll find they won't stick. Works every time for me for the last 20 years using the same stainless pan.

      A sensible request Grnhrnww, the best pan for you will be in your Grandmother's kitchen! Once you've successfully stolen that you'll be ahead of the game! enjoy! 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 refuse to believe that any ancient philosopher would endorse such a practise, frankly I find that concept rather insulting!

    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.

    I've seen your trick from Chinese chefs. They often use the entire onion. You can find it on CZcams. I use to preheat my Sitram pan and after it gets fairly hot, I'd put a slab of butter on it and swirl it around. It soon becomes non-stick. I now use a wok and it's pretty straight forward. I preheat the pan til I see whiffs of smoke and then add a little oil to coat the bottom. Swirl the oil around til almost all of the wok is coated. And then nothing sticks to it. You can cook eggs or any protein you want. It's great.

  • @GOLDENAUTUMN1

    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.

    • @madthumbs1564
      @madthumbs1564 Před 5 lety +2

      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.
