TIP: Heating a Pan

If you just want to learn one thing when it comes to cooking, this is number one!

DO NOT ADD ANYTHING INTO A COLD PAN
If you add your ingredients to a cold pan, they won't get a nice caramelization or golden brown color and will definitely not taste as delicious. 
(there are some exceptions to this rule, but if you want your food to caramelize, you want to hear the food sizzle on a hot pan, thats how you know its ready)

You can watch the oil and see when it goes from being thick and sort of sticky (when it is cold) to shimmering and very watery (when it is hot) so you will know exactly when the oil is hot enough.

ALSO: Preheat your skillet before drizzling in the oil. This makes meat or other foods less likely to stick.
