How to stop your frying pan from sticking - 5 Min hack!

[Music] hi I'm Christine Cushing and welcome to another episode of my favorite foods everybody has had this problem things sticking to our stainless steel pan eggs really bad do not fear I recently learned the most incredible and easy hack on how to have everything slide right off this very stainless steel pan so stick around see what I did there okay let's get started first I want to clean this pan this is my omelet pan pan of choice I've had it for a gazillion years it's really stuck here [Music] I was not joking when I said everything is back to my pan what is this okay phase one is accomplished I clean my pans you might be surprised because I'm taking this stainless steel pan and I'm actually gonna do the same thing that I did just a minute ago which is cook eggs in here so how am I gonna resolve what just happened so this is a stainless steel pan bottom is aluminum I use this for making omelets it's my favorite pen so first thing I do put it over medium heat some veggies is your Savior onions so green onions I learned this this year as I've been traveling onions have an acid or an oxide that actually reacts to the metal so I want to make sure I get a nice high heat before I put the onions in and I'm just gonna drop them in there sizzle is good and you essentially want to almost char these so the trick I'm showing you here can work on a walk anything that's steel or steel derivative this is going to work [Music] so as a chef I travel around a lot you can imagine that but recently I've been working on this show called Confucius was a foodie so I travel around and visit Chinese chefs around the world and I learned this trick and I was actually blown away and I thought how can I be cooking for 30-some odd years and I had never really learned this but it shows you that in cooking it's never too late to learn something so what in fact happens here is the steel mixes with the acid in the onion that's the thing that makes you cry when you chop them and it creates a surface that makes it almost nonstick for a certain amount of time whoa dangerous the kitchen is very dangerous okay I think that about does it now I also want to make sure I go up the sides because especially when I'm making omelets I like to swirl the pan so let's see it's magic I'm telling you so I'm just gonna throw out the rest of this oil discard it and get rid of the onions the other trick to cooking properly and this is beyond the magic of what I'm showing you is the proper temperature you don't want to put anything into a cold pan anything will stick and then a little bit olive oil oil is streaking ready coming at you haha how about that is that not the coolest thing ever you definitely want to try it out make sure you subscribe to my channel let me know what you want me to cook thank you for joining me on another episode of my favorite foods and my favorite pan is still looking sweet [Music]

Seems like she used a lot of oil

This video came up on my feed and immediately my mind went to cast iron. My understanding is that during the seasoning process we cross-link and polymerise the oils/fats used in the seasoning process; this video stated that there are sulfur-based acids that react with the steel. I believe that she may be referring to syn-Propanethial S-oxide. Looking at the structure of syn-Propanethial S-oxide it potentially may help act as a binding site between the bare metal and the fats/oils of choice.

​

I am thinking I may run an experiment on this and wondered if anyone had come across anything similar?

That was actually impressive. She didn’t even need anything to fold the eggs, wild
