Start by preheating your pan on low heat for one or two minutes before adding foods. Pour in 1 tablespoon of cold oil or enough to cover the bottom of the surface. It’s best to use medium heat for pan-frying the vegetable fritters as high heat will cause the surface to brown and harden too quickly. If the sound that food makes on initial contact with the pan is more of a crackle than a sizzle, your heat is too high, and sticking may occur. Allow the fritters to fry without moving them for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. The natural sugars in the fritter will caramelize on the cooking surface, so you can easily lift the fritters off the pan. Check out this post on how to clean stainless steel pansfor more tips!
