Transcript

A woman with long dark hair tied with a red ribbon stands at the stove with a pan over the burner. In close-ups, a folded paper towel is used to spread oil over the pan, then a drop of egg lands in the pan and bubbles. “STEP 3. Heat the pan over medium heat for about 1 minute.” “Dip folded paper towel in oil and wipe a thin coat over the whole pan, corners too. Keep the towel nearby.” “Test with a drop of egg.” “It should sizzle right away. Silent means too cold; smoking means too hot.”
