Do people normally not use oil with nonstick pans? I always use some regardless of pan because it crisps better and adds flavor.

- nkrisc 1y agoSame. The primary benefit of the oil, I’ve found even in a non-stick pan, is better and more even transfer of heat and more even browning.
- lotsofpulp 1y agoI couldn't imagine cooking without oil. Pan frying spices in oil is pretty much the first step of cooking for me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(spices) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(spices)
- nkrisc 1y agoThat's a good point I didn't think of as well. Oil (fats) are great for holding onto and distributing flavor throughout the dish as well.
