Therefore, many people want to learn some tips on flipping the pan when cooking. So, what are the tips on flipping the pan when cooking? Please see the following introduction for this.

1. Small spoon

Small flipping is a common flipping method, which is mainly suitable for dishes with small quantities, short heating time, and easy to cook.

[Specific method]: Hold the spoon handle or pot ear with your left hand, use the edge of the stove as a fulcrum, tilt the spoon slightly forward to send the raw materials to the front half of the spoon, quickly pull it back to a certain position, and then gently pull and press down to turn the raw materials over in the spoon, then send the raw materials to the front half of the spoon and pull it back to turn it over. Repeat this process without leaving the spoon away from the fire, and be agile and quick, flipping it freely, so that the cooked dishes meet the quality requirements.

For example, dishes such as "Kung Pao Chicken" prepared by the stir-fry method are cooked with starch and seasoning at the same time. The small flipping spoon technique must be used during the preparation process to ensure that the dish is evenly flavored, with tight sauce and starch, bright oil and seasoning, and a golden red color.

Another example is for "Stir-fried Shredded Pork". After the ingredients are put into the spoon, use the small flipping technique to constantly flip the ingredients and then add seasonings, so that the shredded pork is heated and flavored evenly, and the finished product reaches the quality requirements of freshness, tenderness and softness.

2. Large flipping spoon

The big flipping spoon is to flip the ingredients in the spoon 180° at one time. In other words, the ingredients are turned "upside down" through the big flipping spoon. It is called the big flipping spoon because of the large movement and flipping amplitude.

[Specific method]: Hold the spoon handle or pot ear with your left hand, shake the food in the spoon, then pull the spoon away from the fire mouth and lift it up and then send it to the upper right, raise the spoon to form an angle of 60°~70° with the stove surface, and while lifting it up, use your arm to gently hook the spoon backwards to make the ingredients fly into the air and flip backwards. At this time, the food will generate a certain inertia on the spoon. To reduce the inertia, the spoon and the ingredients should be dropped together, and the angle should be reduced to catch the ingredients. The completion of the above-mentioned pulling, sending, lifting, flipping and connecting movements must be agile, accurate, coordinated and done in one go without stagnation or separation.

3. Shake the spoon

[Specific method]: Hold the spoon handle or pot ear with your left hand, and use the strength of your wrist to rotate the spoon regularly clockwise or counterclockwise. The shaking of the spoon will drive the food inside the spoon to rotate. It is suitable for braised dishes, pot-fried dishes and dishes made with the whole ingredients.
