Fried Egg Test on a Completely Unseasoned Skillet
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The non-stick properties are in the cook, not the cookware! In this video, I do the fried egg test, but I use a cast iron skillet with absolutely no seasoning on it. Just by getting the right amount of heat and oil, I fried two eggs without them sticking to the pan. There's really nothing special about doing it--just get the heat/oil mix right and any pan is non-stick.
I used an electrolysis tank to clean this Taiwan Tank skillet down to the metal (electrolysis instructions here), scrubbed it clean with dish soap, then cooked the eggs on bare metal.
The Stainless Steel Cookie Spatula in the video is my favorite for frying eggs because it's so thin and flexible. It slides right under the eggs, especially if I spray a little bit of Pam on it.
