Is The Oil Hot Enough?
How many times do you heat up the oil in a frying pan and wonder if it’s hot enough? I know everyone has their own way of doing this but it usually involves dropping something into the oil. Use this simple tip to determine when the oil is ready without splattering the oil from dropping something into it. Click on my short video below to see how.
Believe it or not, my husband is the one that gave me this tip years ago!
I guess I’ll keep him around!

Great. They often say heat it until it is “shimmering” but I never seem to be able to see that and certainly not as easy as this.

Haha I do not like doing video’s. That’s because you are a seasoned cook. For the new cooks out there, this is a great way to learn.
