  • Google “stainless steel water test” but basically the water starts sliding around on the pan.

    For eggs it needs to be hot enough to just maintain this effect, or else they can burn and start sticking again. You can also add a bit of oil at this point but it’s not strictly necessary and can cause smoke depending on the oil used.

    Unfortunately the quality of your pan also has an effect here. 3-5 layer “all clad” is best. But if you wound up with partial clad like me (the kind with a visible disk on the bottom) the section that isn’t clad will almost always get at least a bit of food stuck to it.

    Learning stainless steel imo also takes more patience if you’re on electric, because you’ll need to wait longer for the temperature to settle, but not impossible. I switched to magnets! If you want to give magnets a shot, but don’t want to spend $2000+, you can get an induction hot plate online for ~$100








  • Take this one step further and make it into so many bank accounts, they’re free after all!

    One bank account for only the things you know don’t change each month (rent, insurance exc)

    Another account for things you can estimate each month (house gas, electricity exc)

    I like another account for things like groceries and car gas after that, I find there a bit less predictable than things like electricity.

    A few savings accounts for emergencies, trip planning, exc.

    Finally one account for fun money to spend each month.

    The beauty comes when you set them all up for automatic transfer and bill pay and only have to think about most of it once or twice per year!
