Cooking in a nonstick skillet is much easier than with a regular skillet. Unfortunately, most non-stick pans on the market contain harmful chemicals that are not good for cooking. The best, easiest, and safest solution for using a frying pan is to make your own nonstick coating at home! Pour oil into a stainless steel skillet and heat it to start the coating process. After that, you can use the stainless steel skillet to cook a variety of delicious menus for you and your family!
Step
Method 1 of 3: Coating the Frying Pan with Oil
Step 1. Wash your pan with soap and warm water
Scrub the pan with a rag or sponge. Clean the inside and outside as evenly as possible. Rinse the pan with warm water, then let it dry. The oil will stick better to the clean surface of the pan.
Step 2. Use a high-boiling oil to coat the pan
Sesame oil, vegetable oil, peanut oil, and soybean oil are good choices for coating a skillet. Oils with high boiling points will respond to heat better during the coating period, and will "stick" more strongly. This can make the pan coating last longer and be more effective.
Step 3. Pour enough oil into the pan until the bottom layer is coated
For most pans, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of oil will suffice. Rotate the pan so that the oil spreads to the sides. Try to coat the inside of the pan as evenly as possible so that it can be used optimally for cooking.
Step 4. Heat the skillet on the stove for two minutes over medium heat
Do not turn on the stove on high heat early in the coating process as this can result in uneven heat and burn the oil too quickly. Medium heat is much better for the pan and oil, and will heat it evenly.
In addition, you can also coat the pan using the oven. Place the pan in the oven and set the temperature to 177°C. Heat the pan in the oven for an hour
Step 5. Remove the pan from the heat when the oil starts to smoke
The oil is ready to use when a thin layer of smoke appears on it. This smoke is usually only seen after 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove the pan from the stove and place it somewhere else.
Step 6. Let the oil sit for at least 30 minutes
The oil should at least be warm or at room temperature. You have to let the oil sit until it can be touched. This will ensure that the oil is safe to use until the coating process is complete.
Don't touch the oil to make sure it's cool enough
Step 7. Pour all the excess oil from the surface of the pan into the sink
You should be able to see some of the oil remaining in the pan when you're done. You can also rinse off the oil and throw it in the trash if you don't want to throw it in the sink. You will see oil residue on the surface of the pan. It's okay, this is normal.
Step 8. Clean the inside of the pan with tissue paper
Fold the tissue paper and rub it into the pan in a circular motion. This will absorb any excess oil, and make the pan even more shiny. The gloss on the surface of the pan indicates that the item is clean and not sticky!
Method 2 of 3: Prevent Sticky Frying Pan while Cooking
Step 1. Heat the skillet to medium heat before cooking
This will ensure that your pan and food are evenly heated, and will prevent the risk of scorching the food. The skillet will take about 10 minutes to reach medium temperature.
Step 2. Keep an eye on the stove temperature as you cook
Don't use high heat when using a frying pan – especially a coated one. The higher the cooking temperature, the more likely your food will stick to the pan as it cooks.
Step 3. Adjust the temperature of the food to room temperature before cooking
Frozen food will stick to the hot pan, making it easy to burn and create a mess. Store your food in the refrigerator, but let it rest 1 to 2 hours before cooking so that it is at room temperature.
Do not leave raw food out of the refrigerator for more than two hours or you will increase the risk of bacterial contamination and food poisoning
Step 4. Don't fill the pan with food
Overfilling a pan with food ingredients can cause an unstable temperature so that food sticks to the pan. If you want to cook multiple types of ingredients in one pan, limit the number of ingredients to be cooked to 2 or 3 at a time, and separate them on the pan so that each -Each material has its own space.
Step 5. Use a stainless steel skillet to cook water-based foods, acids and sauces
Fruit, vegetables, tomato sauce, gravy, and stock are all good ingredients to cook in a coated pan. In addition, you can also use a skillet to cook eggs in the morning, or saute salmon for dinner. The stainless steel skillet is designed to cook these ingredients.
Method 3 of 3: Storing and Cleaning the Coated Pan
Step 1. Place several layers of tissue paper in the pan before stacking them
Stacking pans is a common storage method and can save space, but it can also damage the inside of the pan. A pan that has been scuffed can't be coated perfectly. Putting some tissue paper in it will provide some protection for the surface of the pan.
Step 2. Clean the pan with tissue paper after you finish cooking
Washing the plating pan with soap and water after each cooking will remove the oil, so you will have to repeat the coating process. The oil remaining in the pan is intended to protect the pan from food residue. So, soap and water should not be used until the pan is really visibly dirty.
Step 3. Clean the dirty pan with water and soap
Eventually, the coated pan will be full of leftovers. If this happens, just clean it. Use warm water and a non-abrasive cleaning tool, such as a soft sponge or washcloth.
- Wash your pan once the surface is cool enough to touch.
- Dry your pan with paper towels after washing it. This will keep the pan smooth.
Step 4. Remove stubborn food residue by soaking it in hot water for 5 minutes
If there are stubborn residues, add dish soap to the pan before soaking. Place the pan on the stove and turn on the stove over high heat. Let the water in the pan boil for 5 minutes, then discard the hot water. The remaining stains will be gone instantly!
Step 5. Repeat the process of coating the pan with new oil after washing
After washing the pan with soap and water, the coating will disappear. To make sure your pan stays perfect and doesn't stick, repeat the coating process!
Tips
- Rub the sticky pan with salt and oil to remove the sticky stains.
- Do not use any cooking spray on a coated pan. This will only cause oil to build up on the surface of the pan, and make it easier for your food to stick.
