I have a nice stainless steel frying pan, but seldom use it because food sticks to the pan. Looking for a home remedy that works besides the store bought sprays.
10 points to the winner.
Thanks

The answer lies within the PROCESS. That is, you need to have the pan and oil hot enough before adding food. And if cooking something like veggies, shake the pan periodically to prevent sticking. If you're cooking something like chicken breast, fish, beef or pork, then lightly coat with flour before placing them in HOT oil. It's that simple. Oil that is not hot enough will make your food stick

I use the store bought cooking sprays or make my own from vegetable oil in a spray bottle.
I also just use a little olive oil to sautee my foods in. I always cover the frying pan to keep a little steam in the pan when cooking. That helps to keep the bottom moist.
Lower your heat under the pan and cook your food more slowly. High heat cooks food too fast and dries it out.'

Temper the pan coat it with a little oil heat it til it gets as hot as it can without burning then turn the gas off and let it cool then start cooking! This is the same method that is used in the old cast iron skillets!

Always lightly coat the bottom of the pan with extra virgin olive oil (a couple of quick turns around the pan) or butter. The olive oil has a high burn temperature so it's perfect for using when high heat is involved. Use butter when it's not a savory dish....like pancakes or french toast.

Place the dry pan on the heat, add salt in an even layer in the pan. Leave until the salt goes gray. wipe with kitchen towel. Your pan should now be non-stick. Repeat before each use.

First of all, try to heat the pan up. Dip your index finger to moisten up in water, then let the water drip on the pan. If the drop of water rolls over the pan, then you may pour in the cooking oil. Let it heat up before you dish in the ingredient/s. This one's tried, tested, and proven...

You should make sure your pan is hot before you put in the cooking oil, this helps prevent sticking.
