Privacy NoticeWe’ve all been there. When you’re preparing dinner for a loved one and whip out pans to start frying in. Everything all looks to be going to plan until you go to flip your food. Alas, it’s all to easy for grub to get stuck to the bottom of the pan. This can cause it to break up or burn, which can wreak havoc on your dish. And to make matters worse, the fried food can be a nightmare to clean off your pans without scratching them. Thankfully though, there are handy hacks out there that can prevent the cooking problem from happening. And one particular tip has been taking TikTok by storm. Proclamation Goods revealed how to ensure nothing sticks to your pan – and it’s all to do with the heat you’re cooking with. The foodie recommends heating your pan on medium at first, then testing its readiness with a drop of water. If the water just sits there, the pan isn’t hot enough yet. However, if the water breaks into “many tiny beads”, you should be good to go! READ MORE: TikTok viewers baffled by new coffee trend that involves surprising vegetable
She indicated the water should “look like mercury” in the pan, which is when it should prevent sticking. Since the advice was shared online, it’s been praised by plenty of home cooks. One individual said: “I love this.” Another penned: “Most useful hack. This actually works and I always use it.” And a third responded: “Used this today. It works.” Some were more critical about the tip though – pointing out you can just use a non-stick pan instead. And we must admit, they do make a good point!Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
