IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!

You guys are still putting PFAS in your food?
- There's nonstick without pfas. Does it have other chems we have no idea about? Probably. But not pfas.
  
  Non stick isn't even good for cooking, get a nice stainless steel pan and see how much better food tastes
  
  the other chemicals are always going to be plastic, just under a different name

More butter
- Is this strangely erotic or am I just American?
- I’ve never understood why so many people struggle with this when you can simply properly butter the pan
  
  Some people don't want butterflies to die just to butter their pans...
  
  Might want to have it healthier
  
  We were told that fat was unhealthy for decades. It's not surprising that many still believe it.
  Non stick pans are sold as not needing fat
  
  I've recently learned making sure the pan is very hot also really helps.
- Please help, I'm out of butter!
- Laughs in Paula Dean.

Regardless of the type of pan you are using, you will find eggs ate much less likely to stick if you wait for the pan to be hot before you out the eggs in. I don't know why this is, but if you put cold eggs in a cold pan, they will stick when you cook them.
- it’s because the eggs expect to be warm and they punish you if you let them get cold. same reason chickens sit on them before they hatch.
- A little tip - put a small pad of butter on the pan first, let it melt, and then spread it out. The pan will be the perfect temp for the eggs and it'll make them a bit better.
  Also, add a couple tablespoons of milk to the eggs. It will make them smoother and fluffier.
  
  Hey you make eggs like me
- Usually you need hot pan as the water will vaporise and make a vapor layer that prevent sticking
  For inox pan, it also avoid that the micro cracks in the metal move and expand during the cooking which tend to trap the food and make it stick a lot
  But you should avoid to heat a non-stick pan without food as it can emit toxic fume if it reach a critical temperature
  
  Inox pan gang rise up!
- leidenfrost effect
- Also, if you're cooking at too high of a temperature it'll stick. It'll burn the very outer layer and stick the the pan.
- When the pan heats (and expands), its microscopic gaps close up. If foods are added before this happens, it pinches and traps the food causing it to stick.

You got stuck egg AND forever chemicals in your food, delicious.

Solution: get a carbon steel pan.

laughs in cast iron

So relatable! I too cook with pans in the kitchen!

Reduce the heat. You are getting your pan too hot. Also, non stick or not, use some form of fat to aid in heat transfer and help keep it from sticking. You don't need a lot. A 1/4 tbsp will work.

This grudge is why Thorin chipped the glasses and cracked the plates, even though that's what Bilbo Baggins hates.

I'm 90% cast iron, carbon steel, or stainless but you need to be pretty committed or pretty scared to not use any nonstick if you are a busy person. Sometimes the ease of throwing something on a nonstick with little to no oil and a fast easy cleanup or leave it with sauce sitting in it for a day or two and then deal with it later just can't be beat. The trick with nonstick is to avoid high heats and buy a new one every two years or so. Go cheap when doing so. I've found no real advantage of the expensive nonsticks over the cheap ones.

Use Gordon Ramsay's method (which means using a saucepan). Seriously, just do it. You won't believe how good your eggs can be and you'll never do it any other way. Regular scrambled eggs, but they're so rich they taste like cheese eggs.
- I was going to say "butter" and I was right but apparently he also went with "texture of baby poop".

Scramble em in a glass cup and pour that into the pan. Might work better
- It did not.
  
  You forgot to turn on the heat
  
  Well it was worth a shot

Did you scratch it? Let me guess, you used a metal fork or spatula.
Either take care of the surface or get a nice cast iron. Possibly both.
- A cheap nonstick pan will keel over even if you exclusively touch it with soft cotton gloves.

- Non sticks are disposable. They will eventually degrade no matter the care.
  I use one small 8in for eggs abd the rest of my cooking it's cast iron or steel.

I just reduce down the heat and use nonstick pam spray to cook my eggs.

You got the pan too hot and probably messed with it too soon. Med/low heat throw it in let it solidify then go to town. Use cast iron and there's practically no clean up.

- Don't do this.
  
  Especially if you have birds.
  Although you kinda do want to do this on cast iron.
  
  Someone is trolling and EVERYONE is taking it seriously. 🤦
- I'm just some idiot on the internet, but please, put a disclaimer of some sort on this. Polymer fume fever is shitty for people and absolutely hideously lethal for birds. I dunno what the LC50 is for birds, but anecdotally, a bird anywhere in the same building has a nonzero chance of dying. Birds in the same room will die. God knows what all those horrible fluorinated fumes will do to people over the long term, but they make you really sick in the short term.
  Trolling can be funny, but not when it's encouraging people to do actively hazardous stuff.

  Lame
  
  I disagree. Also here’s how to make some really cool crystals!
  Edit: awwwh someone got to it before I did
- I tried this and my coating is so activated that nothing sticks to anything anymore.
  
  🥰🥰
- And the plastic on the handle is fire proof, trust me.
  
  I do
- If someone dies because of this I could see you getting charged with man slaughter. You are like the Walmart guy who put pesticides on vegetables as a joke.
  Although I have accidentally baked a cast iron pan on high with my grill before. I turned it on and then got busy with someone on the phone. It got to around 700F for a hour and the outer surface came off. Once I got off the phone I slowly brought down the heat and let it cool over a few hours. Once I sanded off the burnt layers and reseasoned it was as good as new. I've been using that cast iron wak for decades.
