Brilio.net - A sticky wok pan when used can be a big problem in the kitchen. Not only does it interfere with the cooking process , but it also makes cleaning more difficult. Many factors cause a sticky pan, ranging from using the wrong oil to the surface of the pan that is no longer slippery and non-stick. This problem is often experienced by many people, especially when cooking foods that require high temperatures or little oil.
One effective way to overcome the problem of sticky pans is by seasoning them. Seasoning is the process of coating the surface of a pan with oil or fat and then heating it to form a protective layer that makes the pan non-stick. This process can improve the performance of the pan and make it more durable.
However, despite its effectiveness, many people find seasoning to be a tedious and time-consuming task. They have to thoroughly clean the pan, apply oil evenly, and heat it to a certain temperature, all of which require attention and patience. For some people, the hassle of seasoning makes them reluctant to do it regularly, resulting in their pans remaining sticky and uncomfortable to use.
However, there is an easy way to prevent the wok from sticking. This method was once practiced by TikTok user @bangbubun when he was about to fry food. Instead of seasoning which takes a long time, he chose to use another method.

As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @bangbubun on Thursday (10/24), the first thing to do is to make sure the pan is clean. After that, heat the pan on the stove. Then pour a little oil and spread it evenly over the entire surface of the pan. You can use a spatula to spread the oil.

Once it is even, let it until the pan emits a lot of hot steam. If it is like that, throw away the remaining oil that is still pooling. Well, a moment after, immediately add new oil that will be used for frying.

Immediately after being given new oil, the steam will immediately thin out. You can lower the heat first to stabilize the oil temperature in the pan. That way, the pan is ready to be used to fry various foods.
In the video, TikTok user @bangbubun tries to cook a fried egg. Well, this egg is really easier to flip because there is no sticky part in the pan. In addition to eggs, this method is also suitable for frying any food, you know.
