In general, if the oil is not allowed to heat in the pan before the ingredients are added and then the ingredients are put in right away and the pan moved around, the food won't stick. Geoff Smith, a TV cooking show host, used to say, "Hot pan, cold oil, food doesn't stick."

If you start off with a heated pan, added the right amount of cold oil, and then immediately added the ingredients and then begin moving the pan right away, the oil will do its job and the food can't get a hold of your pan and stick.

  • Foam
  • Packing 'peanuts'
  • Sheets & Blankets
  • Rubber
