How to make a stainless steel frying pan non-stick

A stainless steel frying pan is a type of pot that people often use in daily life, and it is also a type of pot that can be used to fry various foods. The performance of stainless steel frying pans is still relatively good, but many people also encounter problems with stainless steel frying pans sticking when using them. So, how can we avoid food sticking to the pan during cooking? Here are some tips for you!

1. Soak potatoes and lotus root slices in water first

This type of food is easy to stick to the pan, mainly because it contains a lot of starch. Therefore, if you want starchy ingredients to prevent them from sticking to the pan, it is best to soak them in clean water before cooking to remove the starch on the surface of the ingredients, then remove them and drain the water before frying. In addition, stir-frying quickly in a hot pan can also reduce the chance of sticking.

2. Apply some oil before frying the fish

The fish meat is tender, the fiber structure is not tight, and the fish skin easily sticks to the pan when frying. The best way is to apply a small amount of oil on the fish body, put it into a hot oil pan and then turn to low heat. The fried fish will be intact and will not stick to the pan. The principle is to isolate the fish skin from the hot pan. A similar method is to coat the fish with a thin layer of flour or egg paste. In addition, before frying, marinate the fish with salt and cooking wine to make the fish skin and the fish body closer and prevent the fish skin from sticking to the pan.

3. Stir-fry meat with hot pan and cold oil

In order to make the shredded meat and meat slices tender and smooth, the meat needs to be mixed with starch and egg white slurry before frying. At this time, the fried meat often sticks to the pan, which is mainly related to the temperature of the pan and the oil temperature. The best solution is to use a hot pan and cold oil. First heat the pan over medium heat, then add oil, and then add the meat and stir-fry. This way, the protein and starch slurry on the surface of the meat will gradually expand due to the heat, and the fried meat will not stick to the pan. Sometimes, meat without starch will stick to the pan. In this case, you can put oil in the pan, shake the pan to coat the surrounding area with oil, and then fry.

4. Heat the fried rice in the microwave first

Egg fried rice, Yangzhou fried rice, and soy sauce fried rice are also favorites of many people, but fried rice also tends to stick to the pan. Fried rice sticks to the pan because the rice is too soft. Therefore, you can dry the rice or warm it slightly in the microwave before frying. Another way is to fluff the rice before frying it, pour in egg liquid and stir until the rice grains are evenly coated with egg liquid, then put it in a pan with oil and stir-fry quickly. This way, the fried rice will look good and taste good.
