Preheat
Preheat the pan using the heat setting you intend to use when cooking, before adding butter or
oil.
Do not rush the preheating process by using high heat.
Experiment with heat settings; start with medium heat and adjust as needed.
Use high heat for boiling liquids only.
Use medium-high heat for searing, sautéing, frying and stir-frying.
Use a medium heat setting for reducing liquids, pancakes, sandwiches and omelettes.
Use low heat to warm foods, simmer or prepare delicate sauces.
For searing, sautéing and pan-frying, preheat the pan using the heat setting you intend to use
when cooking before adding oil.
Butter or Oil
Use the 'butter test' to determine whether your pan is hot enough for sautéing. Simply wipe a dab

preheated.
Allow the oil or butter to heat for a minute before adding food to the pan.
