How to keep the bottom of the pan from burning easily.
It is quite difficult to avoid burnt spots on the bottom of a frying pan that is used regularly every day. Here are a number of ways you can do it.
1. Choose a quality frying pan.
A good quality frying pan with thick material and good heat distribution tends to have a lower tendency to burn.
2. Use medium heat.
Avoid using too big a fire when cooking. Too big a fire can cause uneven heat and cause the bottom of the pan to burn quickly. It's better to use medium heat so that the heat is evenly distributed.
3. Use enough oil or fat.
Adding a small amount of oil or fat to the bottom of the pan before cooking can help prevent food from coming into direct contact with hot surfaces and reduce the risk of burning.
4. Use a non-stick frying pan.
A pan with a nonstick coating can help prevent food from sticking to the surface of the pan, which can cause the bottom of the pan to burn.
5. Pay attention to cooking time.
Don't leave food on the pan for too long. Pay attention to cooking times and remove food from the pan when it is cooked to avoid the bottom of the pan getting too hot and burning.
6. Keep the pan clean.
The bottom of a pan that is dirty or oily tends to burn more easily. Make sure to clean the wok thoroughly after use and avoid excessive oil or grease buildup.
