You won't need a nonstick pan after learning this hack. Preheat your stainless steel pans properly and make them non-stick with these few helpful tips.
I preheat my pan for 3 minutes on medium-high heat. I drop a touch of water to see if it’s ready. If the water turns into a bead and GLIDES, you can wipe it off and it’s ready to cook on.
Make sure you have all of the ingredients ready and prepped already so you can start cooking right away.
If the water EVAPORATES, it means the pan is not hot enough. You can wipe the water and wait a little and try again.
If the water separates into hundreds of tiny water pellets it means it’s way too hot and you can take it off the heat to bring it down to temperature and try again!
You may have to try a few different timings until you get it perfect depending on your stove. If you find this tip helpful please save, share, and comment.

Notes
Mushrooms hold 80-90% water and can be added to a hot DRY pan allowing them to evaporate, pop, and get brown. Take them off the heat (or lower it) once browned and add butter, aromatics, and salt for the perfect bite!If you want to make the perfect mushrooms like a chef, be sure to check out the recipe and all my tips here How To Cook Mushrooms (Like a Chef)
