This was one of the most important tips I learned when I first started using my stainless steel pans. Thank you for sharing this. It's important to know. Cooking on stainless steel is different than on non-stick. But you can make your stainless steel virtually non-stick if you use it the right way.
I've seen this tip before, but the video was maybe 10 minutes long for the exact same lesson. Thanks, Ms. Pam! More people will learn because the video is short.
For those wondering why the water “dances around” like that. It’s because the skillet is at temperature far greater than the water boiling point. So when it touches the skillet, some water immediately turn into vapor and the liquid water above it slides on top of that small “cloud” of vapor. It only happens for small droplets because if it’s large enough the water will touch the skillet and vaporize faster. Large droplets tend to break down into smaller ones as well.
Thank you for the video. This is a good trick to learn. Since I lost my wife during COVID and have my 94 year old mother in law with me Its great to learn all these tips.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Miss Pam. I've been using a stainless steel skillet for months and couldn't figure out why everything was sticking. You're the best!
I love your tips, as most are terrific, but this one is wrong according to Chef Todd Mohr, Certified Culinary Educator and former professor at Baltimore Culinary Acadamy. He says to heat the pan until the drops of water immediately evaporate, then add your oil, and wait until the oil shows ripples, then add your food. You want the oil in your skillet to be just below the smoke point. If you get the drops skating around the pan (The Liedenfrost Effect), then your skillet is TOO HOT, and Olive Oil will smoke, causing it to get bitter.
Thank you for sharing that information stainless steel frying paint and pants and teaching us if they put water in it and if it’s not right, then you will know. Thank you for showing that great presentation.
Good tip. Another thing is not to use ANY soap to clean your skillet. While it is still hot, put water in it and that helps to loosen the scraps inside. Use a non abrasive scratcher to scrub it. Immediately dry out the pan. I've had lots of success when not soaping it. Again, thanks for the tips.
I’ll share one, heat up your left over pizza in it with your morning coffee, crispy on the bottom and the cheese soft, keep an eye on it and enjoy …. good day …
❤ thank you so much for that tip I've been wondering how I'm supposed to tell and I've been cooking a long time but sometimes my cooking on stainless steel works well and other times it sticks😢 now could you give us some cleaning tips for stainless steel, so I can get my pan and tip top shape😊
Funny, I just finished scrubbing my stainless steel pan (which is *full* of stains from doing wine reductions), my arm is about to fall off. Then this video comes and saves the day. I’d still like to know how to get that skillet clean, if you’ve got any tips and tricks.
Put enough water to cover the stains, then add a tablespoon or two of white vinegar. Heat it up until hot, not boiling. Turn the heat off and let the water completely cool. Wash as usual. This works well for me. I get white stains when I simmer meats in my stainless.
I've also found adding baking soda to the pan after you've heated the water REALLY works well too remove stuck on bits. Of course in use a metal scrubby too.
Thank you ma’am!🥰 It makes since now, sometimes I hve a great cooking experience with my stainless steel pans & other times I be like “what I do wrong”? I hear the non-stick pans coating is harmful to us.
Also, if you put a piece of meat already in it and its sticking after a few minutes. Cover it. Put it a smidge past medium line on the dial. No higher. See it cook around the edges like half way. Then turn. The fat from the meat will release the pan naturally. If you try to turn it before that time. It will stick, tear or crumble

That was the first thing I learned when learning to cook. Since all of my mothers pots and pans were stainless steel.

What if you don’t use Olive oil?
Any type of food oil applies
