∙ 14y agoIn many cases you do not need to use oil, but in my experience I find that meat cooks better if you do. A quick spray or a teasoon of oil in the center of the pan go a long way to helping the food to brown properly and also avoid sticking entirely. About the only thing I cook without oil entirely on a non-stick surface is pancakes. The oil content in the batter is sufficient to prevent sticking, and the pancakes actually brown more evenly without adding additional oil. (If the pan or griddle become too hot, then simply remove it from heat source for a couple of minutes to cool down.)

Making sure you have a non-stick pan definitely helps! Another thing is a little splash of olive oil. Put a little olive oil in your pan, heat it up, and crack your egg on top for perfect sunny side up eggs.
