How to make your stainless steel pans non stick 🍳 Cooking on a stainless steel pan doesn’t have to be difficult, as long as you do this test! It is called the mercury ball test / water test. It tells you when is the right time to add the oil in the pan. If you add oil too soon before the pan is hot enough, food will stick! This trick helps you determine when this right time is. Here is how you do it: 1. Heat your stainless steel pan over medium heat 2. Grab a few drops of water and add to the pan. If they sizzle out and evaporate, the pan is not hot enough, wait thirty seconds and try again. 3. Add a few more drops. If they form into droplets and dance on top of the surface like a mercury bead, the pan is hot enough and you can now add your oil! Have you tried this trick?
