are you one of those who hates cooking with stainless steel because your food always sticks well that used to be me until i learned how stainless steel works check this out stainless steel pots and pans have pores or crevices whenever we heat them the metal expands causing the pores to shrink and thus attaches to the food one way to tell if your skillet is ready to receive food or not is with the water test if you put a drop of water in and the water sizzles and we have little water beads going all over the place you know that your pan is not ready this means that the pores are open and is not ready to receive your food so what we do is wait a few more minutes and let our pan get a little bit hotter once it’s gotten a little bit hotter we’ll do the test again we’ll put a drop in and what we’re looking for is a little like mercury ball you see how the ball is floating around like that throughout the pan that means that the pores have closed and is now ready to receive your food without it sticking i hope this tip helps you guys

Wow!!! This is awesome!!! Thank you so much ❤🎉
Good demo with water, thanks
What if the pan got overheated ? Shall we have to switch off the burner & wait ?
What temp (high, medium, low) do u heat the skillet at?
Thank you thank you so much for this cooking tip 👍🏽😃
Wow!!
Thanks
So do you have to cook everything on a high temp?
Whats actually happening is called Leidenfrost effect. It happens when the pan is significantly higher temp then the boiling point of the liquid and creates an insulating layer of vapor that keeps it from boiling rapidly and the water dances around the pan
Good. Because these non-stick coating pans I hear ain’t good for us.
Wow. This is genius. Thank you!
Fkcu stainless steel. Get copper.
Thats what salad master say to do🤔
Thank you
omg… this is life changing. I cant believe im just hearing about this now!
Thank You.
No. I'm one of those who use woks.
Cook a chicken breast for me! It sticks no matter what. Steel pans are useless unless you use a ton of oil. Thank God we have teflon.
Cool! I did not know that!
I just season my ss pan with coconut oil. Never sticks.
❤this is brilliant ❤thank you 🎉
👌👌👌👌tnx 🌸🌸
Very nice video but this has nothing to do with “pores”. What you’re observing is the Leidenfrost effect. When you pour water in a surface that is hot enough, the layer of water molecules touching the surface will boil and create a vapor barrier. The water droplet will eventually be suspended by a layer of vapor, so actually no water in liquid form touches the heated surface, creating the “dancing droplet” effect.
Mind blown 🤯
"Mercury ball" – PERFECT description!❤
You're tellin' me for 40 years why my food has been sticking to my stainless pans? Hain't no way.
THANK YOU! I LEARNED SOMETHING WITH CLARITY TODAY!
Thanks!!
Looks like you rubbed oil on it the second time.
Omg thanks!
Omg I’m so stupid 😂
Thank you!
Thank you queen 👑
Thank you so much!!
Ahaaa
Or you can season you stainless similar to cast iron and it will be non stick
thank you 🙏
I can now purchase a stainless steel pan with no fear! 😂
I don’t think it has anything to do with pores, instead the heat is so high the water just bounces around… this happens with every pan, stainless steel or otherwise
Thx. Next video, how do you do the same test and know its too hot? Does the water evaporate immediately?
Good video.
What color yellow is your kitchen wall? Love it 😍
Ever since learning this many many years ago, cooking on stainless steel is a joy!
No nonstick stuff for me thank you.
This is really helpful
