Simon Says: Stainless Steel nonstick

The most common mistake when cooking in any fry-pan and particularly stainless-steel versions is the heat. If you are to avoid sticking, wait until the pan reaches the ideal temperature before adding food, butter and or oil.

With a temperature that is too low and it will stick, too high and it will stick and burn.

How to Properly Cook in a Stainless Steel Pan

I'm chuffed to share the secrets of cooking with a stainless steel pan, ensuring your culinary creations are not just delicious but safe. We're diving into making any stainless steel pan non-stick and mastering the perfect temperature to prevent any food from sticking.

One of the most common mistakes when cooking with any fry pan, especially stainless steel ones, is not getting the heat right. To avoid your food sticking to the pan, it's crucial to wait until it reaches the ideal temperature before adding your food, butter, or oil. If the temperature is too low, your food will stick; if it's too high, it will stick and burn.

Let me introduce you to the 'mercury ball effect' – a brilliant method to ensure your pan is at the correct temperature. Just add a droplet of water (use a 1/4 teaspoon measure of cold water) to the heated pan. If the water forms a ball shape and dances on the pan's surface, like a mercury ball, your pan is ready. This is your cue to add the butter/oil and then the food, which will be repelled like the water droplet.

Note that vegetables require movement to prevent burning and sticking. When frying onions, frequently stir to achieve the perfect color and flavor. For frying eggs, covering the pan with a lid helps create steam, ensuring a perfectly fried egg without the sticking hassle.

A word of caution when using Teflon pans: they can emit toxic fumes if heated above 230 degrees Celsius. So, be vigilant with the temperature.

Cooking safely also means being aware of the cookware we use. Let's talk about PFAS – those 'forever chemicals' found in many non-stick pans. Recent studies in New Zealand have highlighted the presence of PFAS in our environment, which is a concern for both our health and nature.

Opting for stainless steel pans is a step towards healthier cooking. As we explore making them non-stick and finding the ideal cooking temperature, remember that this journey is about more than just flavour; it's about our well-being and the environment.

Let's gear up, heat our pans correctly, and cook in a way that's tasty, safe, and responsible. Happy cooking! Simon
