Should I Preheat My Pan?

When done correctly, preheating your pan can improve performance. Use a medium heat setting to preheat your pan for 2 to 3 minutes before adding food. Be careful not to overheat your pan, as this can damage the nonstick coating. To test if your pan is preheated, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If the water sizzles gently, the pan is ready to use. If the water evaporates or sizzles strongly, immediately turn the heat down - your pan is too hot! Allow the pan to cool a little, and test again in 3 minutes. Never preheat an empty pan longer than 5 minutes.
