Many housewives have a cast iron frying pan in their kitchen. Cookware made from such material is considered durable and high-quality.

But if during cooking food starts to stick to the surface of such a frying pan, then you should not rush to throw away your favorite cookware.

There is a life hack that will help you forget about this problem.

You need to take two products: table salt and vegetable oil.

First, you need to heat the frying pan, and then pour a few spoons of salt into it.

The bulk product must be heated in a dry frying pan. As soon as the salt changes its color, it must be removed.

Then you should pour frying oil into the frying pan. Then you can start frying cutlets or pancakes.

What else should you do to prevent food from sticking?

Often the problem also occurs if you do not use oil when frying or start putting food on a cold surface. Therefore, you should always first heat the frying pan with oil, and only then start cooking.

In addition, food burns if the frying pan has not been washed well. Housewives recommend carefully removing food residues and thoroughly washing the dishes after each use to make the cooking process easier.
