It is frustrating enough to make you throw your hands up and buy another cheap nonstick pan that you will have to replace in a year. In this video, I am sharing 12 essential rules I learned from my head chef, Chen Wei, during my decades working on a busy Chinese restaurant line. We will look at how a few simple drops of water can tell you the exact moment your bare metal is ready to behave. I will also explain a two-part restaurant technique called "slicking" that primes your skillet before a single egg ever touches it. If you are ready to stop fighting your cookware and start cooking by feel, this guide is for you.
