How do I prevent food from sticking?

Prevent food from sticking by properly preheating your pan before adding oil or food. Use enough oil or fat to coat the surface. Pat food dry before cooking — moisture causes sticking. For proteins like meat and fish, let them cook undisturbed until they naturally release from the pan (usually 3-4 minutes). Use the right cookware: non-stick for eggs and delicate items, stainless steel or cast iron for searing. Season cast iron properly to build a non-stick surface. Avoid overcrowding the pan, which drops temperature and causes steaming instead of searing.
