Use water to see if your stainless steel pan is hot enough

Are you in a hurry to make fried eggs for breakfast? Here's a simple hack to make the cooking process go even faster. Misen Kitchen's TikTok trick uses water to test the heat of a pan. Heat your stainless steel pan for about 90 seconds over medium heat before adding a few tablespoons of water. If the water doesn't do anything or just fizzles, your pan isn't hot enough to keep the eggs from sticking. If the water in the pan moves in a single bubble, your pan is properly heated for cooking.

However, too many bubbles springing up and "dancing" on the stainless steel surface indicates that your pan is too hot and should be cooled before adding your eggs. This trick not only makes your eggs fluffier, but it also makes cleanup much easier — who has time to deal with chunks of egg white on the bottom of a pan?
