The bottom or bottom of the pan that is burnt really makes the appearance of the pan no longer cool. You can do several methods below so that the bottom of the pan doesn't burn easily.

1. Use a good quality pan.

A good quality pan has a good non-stick coating which prevents food from coming into direct contact with the surface of the pan.

2. Low heating.

Avoid heating the pan too high. Use medium or low heat when cooking. Heating the pan too high can cause the bottom to heat up quickly and the food to burn easily.

3. Use enough oil.

If cooking with oil, make sure to use enough oil. Too much oil can cause the bottom of the pan to become very hot and the food to burn easily.

4. Use heat control.

If possible, use the heat dial on the stove to better control the cooking temperature. This helps prevent the temperature at the bottom of the pan from getting too high.

5. Orient the pan properly.

Make sure the pan is placed flat on the stove. If the stove has uneven heat, position the pan so that the bottom is exposed to even heat.

6. Use a stirrer.

When cooking, regularly stir the food in the pan to ensure the heat is distributed evenly and the food is not too close to the bottom of the pan.

7. Use a pan bottom protector.

Some pans are equipped with bottom protectors which can help control heat and prevent food from coming into direct contact with the bottom of the pan.
