Are your foods sticking?

• Always use a stainless turner to flip foods over.  Nonstick utensils tend to melt at a lower heat and therefore it’s your turner, not your pan.
• Have you cooked your meats long enough?  Initially when you put your meat in a preheated pan it should stick while it’s searing.  Give it a little more time and it will easily release.
• Did you overheat your pan before adding your food?  Take the pan off the burner for a minute and resume your cooking.
• Are you covering the pan to allow the moisture to stay in your food?  Even while frying chicken without the oil, it’s best to keep the lid on the pan.  Meats will still brown nicely.
