Video insights

@heyelle_budgetmeals's TikTok video "If everything is getting stuck on your stainless steel pan, chances are you’re doing one thing wrong… You’re not heating it up properly. And there’s one simple fix. Heat your pan over medium heat. You don’t want it on high. This takes a little time. After a couple of minutes, sprinkle a few drops of water onto the pan. If the water immediately sizzles and evaporates, your pan isn’t hot enough yet. Keep testing it until the water droplets form little beads that glide and jump around the surface. That’s how you know your pan is hot enough. I like to test the whole surface because sometimes one area is ready while another area needs a little more time. Now add your oil and swish it around to coat the entire surface. I like to give the oil a few seconds to heat up, too. Now here’s the part people don’t realize… Even after you’ve properly heated your pan, your meat might still stick at first. Don’t immediately try to move it. As the surface of the meat cooks and forms a crust, it will naturally release from the pan. So if your stainless steel pan is making you feel like you did something wrong… You probably just need to give it a little more time. 😉" has 9,141 views, 381 likes, 12 comments, 37 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
