How do I properly heat an uncoated stainless steel pan?

• First, let the uncoated stainless steel pan heat up for a while. Adding the oil or butter to the pan too soon or overheating the pan will cause the food to stick.
• Here’s how you know whether the pan is hot enough: add a few drops of water to the pan. If the water evaporates immediately, the pan is not hot enough. If the water breaks into several small beads, the pan is too hot. The temperature is perfect when the water droplets form a single ball rolling around the pan. Remove excess water and only then add cooking oil.
